As you’ve probably heard, the leader of the free world has spent the past four days viciously attacking a number of people, all of whom have the distinction of not being white, while simultaneously insisting he’s not a racist, as racists are wont to do. Beginning Saturday, Donald Trump has tweeted nearly a dozen times about Rep. Elijah Cummings, claiming that the House Oversight Committee chairman—whose committee had the audacity to subpoena Jared and Ivanka—must be stealing money from his Baltimore district, which Trump has described as “a disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess” where “no human being” would “want to live,” dog whistle terminology he reserves exclusively for people of color. He’s also gone after Reverend Al Sharpton, who traveled to Baltimore on Monday to defend Cummings, writing that Sharpton is a “con man“ and a “troublemaker” who is “always looking for his next score” and who also “hates whites and cops.” Obviously, this all followed Trump’s harassment of four minority congresswomen, whom he told to “go back” to the countries they “originally” came from. You know, standard non-racist fare.

While the rabid attacks have no doubt played well with the president‘s base, no sane person could possibly think that African Americans, who make up a majority of Baltimore’s population, would be pleased with his rhetoric of late. But a mentally unstable blowhard whose grip on reality is tenuous at best? Oh yeah, that guy would definitely think his unhinged, mouth-foaming bigotry went over great.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump claimed thousands of African Americans have thanked him for asserting that Baltimore is a disgusting, crime-ridden city unfit for human habitation, despite the many humans who in fact live there. “The African American community is so thankful,” Trump said before he departed for Jamestown, Virginia. “They’ve called me and said finally someone is telling the truth.” He added that “people living in Baltimore are very happy that I’m bringing out the fact that it‘s like living in hell.” (Trump, of course, is trying to pretend that in calling Baltimore hell on earth, he’s helping its residents by revealing their struggles, despite the fact that no one is laboring under the assumption that the president actually cares about the city, or black people for that matter, at all. In February, Trump‘s former lawyer Michael Cohen told Congress that during a drive through a “struggling neighborhood” in Chicago, Trump commented that “only black people could live that way” and that black people would never vote for him “because they were too stupid.”)

Naturally, the president did not offer any specifics about the people who have allegedly called the White House to praise him, saying only that it’s “a lot of people. Many, many people.” He also didn’t mention recent statistics that show he’s likely full of shit about his phone ringing off the hook with thankful African American constituents, such as the Quinnipiac poll released Monday showing he has a 6% approval rating among African Americans, or another one showing that more than half the country, including 80% of African Americans, thinks he’s an unrepentant racist.
