Former US president Donald Trump on Saturday stoked controversy for his seemingly ambiguous compliment directed at African American congressman Byron Donalds. "You have smart ones and then you have some that aren't quite so good." Critics accused Trump of making racist and offensive remarks towards the African-American community. One user on the social media platform X wrote, "This is a blatant and obvious racist statement spoken from the mouth of the GOP candidate running for President of the US. Folks, he's not trying to hide who he is." Another user expressed their disappointment, stating, "He's one of the smart ones, others aren't quite so good. Who could he possibly be talking about? The closer the election comes, the more blatantly racist he becomes. Byron Donalds is an embarrassment."
