"I am the least racist person in this room"

Wow. What a whopper. Or maybe it's a statement of humility, as in 'I'm the least of the racist persons in this room'. Yeah, I think that's it. He is humbling himself among his racists followers in attendance.

If we use mathematical brackets we'd see this distinction more clearly.

“I am the least (racist person) in this room”

“I am the (least racist) person in this room”

Deciphering the context. Because he can't in all seriousness think that the public took it the way the lie was dished out.

1. Biden totally destroyed him with "Abe Lincoln, here, ..."

4. Yes, "Abe Lincoln..." & "...we're dying with it" will be the enduring parts of Pres. Debates 2020 nt

5. Definitely. Both excellent retorts.

2. There's nothing to decipher.

It's simply and provable false.

He meant it exactly as he said it. It's the kneejerk defense of many a racist.

6. You know who says "I'm not a racist!" ?

Yup, only racists say that.

[TwilightZone]

8. Yep.

It's often, "I'm not a racist, but..."

[lagomorph777]

9. ...and the standard rule applies: Everything preceding "but" is false.

3. He might be the LEAST honest entity...

is not a denial of his contempt for people of color...it's a confirmation of his hate for people of color...he could have said "I'm not a racist" but instead he said without actually saying "I'm a racist but not a really big one"..racial hate, antisemitism, LGBT hate, ethnic hate...Trump was attempting to parse his hate...can't be done...

11. all racists in the room?

Trump's statement that he is the least racist in the room, essentially says that everyone in the room is more racist. Calling every one present there racist should have resulted with having HIS ass kicked out of the room.

I'm embellishing what 'Nate McMurray running for Congress' in Buffalo tweeted last night.

12. I wish Joe had come back with

"You may think you're the least racist in the room, but you're surely the best liar in the room."

13. In other words, Kristen Welker is a bigger racist than tRump.

Got it!

14. Hubristic nonsense.

Part of NOT being a Racist is owning your place in the Structural Racism of America.

he at least qualified it by saying he couldn't see the audience so he couldn't confirm how racist they were.
