Grandpa Pudding brains barely veiled racism on display [1]

['Jason Weisberger']

Date: 2025-10-07  

Today, the Orange Menace, Donald Trump, glitched while attempting to foist the blame on Democrats for shutdown-related delays in air travel, and used one of his favorite racist dogwhistles when talking about a phenomenal Congressperson, Jasmine Crockett.

Trump uses "low IQ" as a barely veiled epithet. He has called six people this, that I was able to find, four of whom are Black folks in leadership positions and most decidedly not "low IQ." Another is a Latina, and only one white man has earned the distinction. The white guy is Federal Reserve Chairperson Jerome Powell and certainly isn't "low IQ."

Previously:

• This montage of Trump calling for violence shows him as a stupid thug rather than the president

• Trump's bullying tactics are like those of an eighth-grade girl, say experts
