Donald Trump is proving heā€™s racist and stupid with his latest post.

In a Truth Social post Thursday morning, Donald Trump appeared to suggest, again, thatĀ presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris isnā€™t really Black, ramping up his identity-based attacks to the horror of those in his party who consider racism a losing electoral strategy.

Earlier in the week, many GOP strategists, including in the Trump camp,Ā worriedĀ that attacks on Harrisā€™s race and genderā€”which seemed all but inevitable considering Trumpā€™s history of racism and misogynyā€”would pose a serious liability for the campaign. ā€œWe hope he doesnā€™t act like a crazy racist and sexist person, but we canā€™t control him,ā€ a source close to the campaignĀ toldĀ The Washington Post.

These hopes were quickly dashed in the course of Trumpā€™s interview with the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday afternoon, in which the candidateĀ claimedĀ that, for years, Vice President Kamala Harris ā€œwas Indian all the way, and then suddenly she made a turn and she became a Black person.ā€
