Lincoln Project releases new video rounding up Trump’s weekend gaffes
Anti-Donald Trump super PAC the Lincoln Project has released a new video rounding up the former president’s most recent gaffes in its latest attack on the GOP frontrunner.
The group released a video titled “Donald Trump’s Weekend in 101 Seconds”, detailing several of the former president’s recent public speaking errors, including his unintended endorsement of Vladimir Putin’s preference for Joe Biden as president.
“He’d much rather see Biden as president and I agree with him,” Mr Trump stated during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week. Mr Trump also claimed he talks to the Russian president “a lot”.
The video also features several gaffes Mr Trump made at Friday night’s Black Conservative Federation Gala where he was named a “Champion of Black America”.
Mr Trump was accused of making several racist remarks at the event, where he claimed his mugshot was beloved by Black people and then said it was the most popular of all time.
“You know that mugshot is number one,” he said. “Elvis Presley is number two.”

He also told attendees that Black people can relate to him because, like them, he’s been “discriminated against” by the legal system.
“I’m being indicted for you – the Black population,” he could be heard saying. “Black people really like Trump.”
Elsewhere during the speech, he told the audience: “These lights are so bright in my eyes that I can’t see too many people out there. I can only see the Black ones, I can’t see any white ones. That’s how far I’ve come. That’s a long way.”
