Do you think that president Trump is joking, where it is not suitable

I think he intentionally says sensational things to remain in the spotlight. He is probably more centrist than he appears but also definitely a lot more prejudiced than he would ever publicly admit to.

Today's racists do not think of themselves as racists because they are ignorant of the implicit racism they are promoting. We, as a country, have achieved the elimination, for the most part, of explicit racism. This is possible because people can fairly easily choose not to say explicitly racist things. But the human personality is also largely composed of what is unconscious and this is plausibly deniable in our self-talk and self-understanding. To a large extent who we are is shaped by largely unconscious factors (things we wish to be unconscious or have buried through habit and years of denial). It is easier to avoid coming to grips with our cultural and personal histories than to ignore it but buy into a "cover" concern for the economy, crime and national security.

He isn't very conservative in his speech. I'd prefer more diplomatic way of handling things, though at least he's not as hungry for war as some others.

I think he does it to **** people off, I mean I think he thinks it's funny.

Your a billionaire, old, president of the US. You can tell whatever jokes you want. What can folks do about it? I suspect he is still in reality TV mode were he's the boss and everyone has to laugh at his joke or else their fired.

If you have a sufficient audience who supports you, the more polarizing you are in favor of your audience the more adulation you will receive. Our elected representatives are supposed to represent the people they have been elected by but they also are to exhibit moral and ethical standards of behavior. Joking is allowed but as a representative of an entire nation, one which has long carried a symbol of hope for freedom to other countries around the world, Trump's sense of humor is so far off base and inappropriate that is shows just how profoundly he does not understand the symbolism of the office he holds and the diversity of people he represents.

People said Obama was polarizing...the people who elected Trump are the ones who said that. Now we know who was polarizing.

60% of Trump voters approve of policies which are implicitly or explicitly racist. If you only represent white men and those that support white privilege, you are truly polarizing in a nation open to all men and women.

Nothing coming from Trump's mouth is ever a joke. One way or the other it's always self congratulations or promotion.
