Trump Campaign Is Dragged for ‘Racist’ Post About Life Under Democrats

Donald Trump’s campaign has come under heavy criticism following a social media post that was described as “comically racist” and less subtle than a Klu Klux Klan rally by social media users.

The outrage stemmed from a post on social media put out by the Trump War Room on Tuesday morning which showed two images side-side-by-side. One showed a suburban house with an American flag outside, while the other showed a large group of people, most of whom were Black, sitting on what appeared to be a street curb.

The people on the curb were African immigrants outside a shelter in New York City.

The first image was captioned “Your neighborhood under Trump,” while the second was captioned “Your neighborhood under Kamala.”

“Import the Third World. Become the Third World,” the post read.

Social media users were quick to react with outrage and disbelief to the post, with one writing: “This is one of the most racist posts I’ve ever seen. Wow.”

Another added: “The racism is off the charts here!”

“So the strategy is “we hate Black people,” wrote one user, with another adding: “The pivot: ‘just do explicit racism now’.”

Civil rights organization the NAACP also weighed in on the post, writing in response: “Don’t just take our word for it. They are showing all of us just how racist they are. This is what’s on the ballot this November.”
