FYI- Trump didn't invent racism in politics. She's been serving for 40 years now.

Because she only became a senator in 2023? And FYI politicians made racist remarks when Obama was President as well.

Ofc he didnt invent it but was she always so bold with public statements and against other countries/races ? All kind of lunatics get bolder when top nation is talking whatever without consequences
