    We should all know by now that Trump is probably the biggest attention w****/troll in the United States, and he's damn good at it. I give him credit for not wavering.

    Surprising no person on planet Earth, including those in a vegetative state.

    Trying to think of a more thin skinned adult human, but drawing a blank.

    Diva NFL receivers of the past maybe? Owens?
    I've heard Jack White can't handle criticism but have no idea if that's true.

    I think this notion confuses what racism is and what Trumps relationship with the racist movements of the 21st century are.

    In the end what Graham is saying is that Trump isn’t a racist because his relationship with racism is transactional and not personal.

    Systemic racism in this country is something that has always been transactional in nature (I think it benefits me to feel this way, nothing personal to colored folks) and is always socialized in circles before being rolled out in public.

    Trump is socialized now in these circles that now surround him. He’s sitting next to people like Stephen Muller every day now. There’s very little difference in Trumps relationship with racism and how a normal every day person would start their path of being an active racist activist who just started down that path because they think these ideals are beneficial for yourself personally.

    Is it really something to be proud of that a adolescent kid struggling in remedial algebra and worships Twitch celebrities can excel at?

    Kevin Durant is the most thin-skinned person that's ever lived.

    I can only think of one person that's as thin-skinned as Trump.

    Ya, MJ is a douchebag but at the very least he excelled at something.

    Yeah, he's thin-skinned but I think Two Scoops wins. So much winning, when it comes to the thinnest of skin.
