“You people” on steroids

Say what you like about Trump, he doesn't discriminate. He talks to everyone as if they're an abject moron.
I was only joking

I know, I know. Fake but accurate.
Not materially fake if one grants that Newsom was in "talking to black people" mode, which is very reasonable and likely if obviously unprovable.
The notion that "I'm like you. I'm no better than you" means "I'm like you" was effectively never said, remains absurd.
That there were plenty of white faces in the crowd remains uncompelling regarding Newsom's intended audience for his words, when you consider the venue and the topics of conversation in the interview.
But reasonable people can disagree about his actual motivations. His words could be boilerplate that he gives to any random audience of random people. It's not the first time he's said those self-effacing words. It remains inarguable that the words make no sense unless the intended audience was presumed to be mediocre, and in need of reassurance that Mr Newsom is non-threatening.
Education is extremely important.

I particularly admire Trump when he tells the crowd or his targets of abuse, domestic and foreign, that he loves them. Trump’s condescension goes not only beyond the usual obsequious insincerity of politicians of all stripes, clans and tribal affiliations, it is rather, a thoroughly disingenuous display of his political messianism to control others.

And since we're therapizing, I'll note that jon made this ridiculous claim as if it were obviously true, so much so that anybody who disagreed was intentionally lying. Just more proof to add to the existing mountain of proof that jon's mind goes completely off the rails in adversarial discussion. Due obviously to an ego that simply won't look directly at its own failings.
