Since most voters have made up their minds by the time Election Eve rolls around, candidates generally spend the campaign's last few hours simply encouraging their supporters to get out and vote. If there is anything a candidate can do to lose votes, though, it's coming after Brooklyn's first couple, noted rapper Jay-Z and country superstar Beyoncé. Yet this is exactly what Donald Trump did today, sharply criticizing the duo's performance at a Hillary Clinton event last week and whining that he would be executed if he employed the same language they did.

Isn’t it amazing that when Jay Z and Beyoncé use the filthy language they use in the songs – using words that if I ever said those words, it would be the reinstitution of the electric chair, right? Right?

Perhaps it's fitting that this unreservedly horrifying election is ending with a loud white man making the ol' "Some black people use that word, so why couldn't I?" argument. But Trump's rant took a legitimately troubling turn when he went on to describe the performance in question.

The language is so bad. And were they were singing? Singing, right? Talking? Was it talking or singing? I don’t know.

Holdonasec. I am under no illusions that Donald Trump likes rap music. For months, his principal pitch to "the blacks," as he deftly puts it, has been that their lives are so horrible that they have nothing to lose by voting for him, a gross bigot and unapologetic race-baiter. These are not qualities associated with someone who appreciates a good Kendrick Lamar verse, or who will happily spend hours arguing about the most underrated track on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. (It's "Devil in a New Dress," don't @ me.)

But Trump's comments suggest that, incredibly, he might not even know what rap music is. I'm so confused. Does Donald Trump not own a radio? Has he ventured outside in New York City at any point during the last four-plus decades? Oh no, has he never heard of Hamilton? This disgusting admission should absolutely be worth negative electoral votes.

And as if all that weren't horrifying enough:

Amazing. Even up to the day before the election, this man is still finding new ways to alienate Americans and prove his unfitness for office.
