► 00:00:00
Love Trump, hate Trump?
► 00:00:01
F ⁇ Trump.
► 00:00:02
Alright, that's one way to say it.
► 00:00:04
What is up then with people thinking that LGBT community persons cannot be supporters of Trump?
► 00:00:11
That's just stupid.
► 00:00:12
What do you guys think?
► 00:00:14
I'm white?
► 00:00:16
What?
► 00:00:17
Did you just apologize for me being white?
► 00:00:19
It's pretty much a jackass thing to say, but whatever.
► 00:00:22
What about you?
► 00:00:22
You think Trump is better or worse?
► 00:00:23
I'll just say this.
► 00:00:24
CNN is fake news.
► 00:00:26
We got a truther here.
► 00:00:28
Josh Peck was right.
► 00:00:30
Welcome back to Slightly Offensive.
► 00:00:31
We are here at Cal State University Long Beach in Los Angeles, California, letting students know that, hey, Trump isn't that bad.
► 00:00:39
I know there are some negative things against him, and fair.
► 00:00:42
We'll concede that to you.
► 00:00:44
But don't forget about all the good things he's done, too.
► 00:00:46
This is a non-partisan event, just trying to raise awareness that Orange Man is not bad.
► 00:00:51
So this, this thing, it says Trump's not that bad.
► 00:00:53
Some people think he's evil.
► 00:00:54
Some people think he's a god.
► 00:00:56
What's your take on him?
► 00:00:57
He's a horrible person.
► 00:00:59
What's up?
► 00:01:00
Trump.
► 00:01:01
So yeah, so what do you think?
► 00:01:02
You think he's better or worse?
► 00:01:04
Worse?
► 00:01:04
Can I get your opinion?
► 00:01:05
Just, all right.
► 00:01:07
Trump, what do you think?
► 00:01:08
Anything other than Trump or nah?
► 00:01:10
I'm not, well, I'm not really impressed by anything he has to say.
► 00:01:14
To be honest, I think some of the things he says are offensive by calling some countries whole countries.
► 00:01:20
I was obviously offended because I'm from some of those countries.
► 00:01:24
So I don't really like his rhetoric.
► 00:01:25
If I had to be honest.
► 00:01:27
I'm from America and I'm not offended if people call this whole.
► 00:01:29
Oh, okay.
► 00:01:30
Well, I am.
► 00:01:31
He's just a person, but I think he's doing a great job so far.
► 00:01:34
I hope he gets re-elected in next year.
► 00:01:36
Trump's not that bad.
► 00:01:37
You think that's a true or false statement?
► 00:01:40
Wait, can I get your opinion on that?
► 00:01:42
I honestly want to know.
► 00:01:43
What?
► 00:01:47
Well, that's really sad.
► 00:01:49
I don't want to, that's hard to do.
► 00:01:50
I don't have a big enough f ⁇ ing.
► 00:01:52
Well, you're trying.
► 00:01:53
You're deliberately being a troll.
► 00:01:54
No, I'm literally asking your opinion.
► 00:01:56
Right or wrong?
► 00:01:59
No, we don't all know.
► 00:02:00
You clearly don't.
► 00:02:03
All right.
► 00:02:04
Well, I'm a closeted heterosexual anyways, so my wife might be pissed if there's a guy f ⁇ ing me.
► 00:02:09
I like the guy.
► 00:02:10
Why do you like him?
► 00:02:11
That guy just sig hailed me.
► 00:02:12
That guy was weird.
► 00:02:14
Why are you going to hail Hitler in the middle of school?
► 00:02:17
He's a weird guy, man.
► 00:02:18
Isn't it weird that they're like, he's, I know what he's insinuating, as in, like, we are like Nazis, but then at the same time, he's the one sig hailing Hitler.
► 00:02:27
Yeah, strange guy, man.
► 00:02:29
But you know, like, National Socialist, right?
► 00:02:31
He's a socialist, right?
► 00:02:32
So.
► 00:02:32
That guy's a national.
► 00:02:33
Well, yeah, that would that, Zach, do you know that guy?
► 00:02:35
Is he a socialist?
► 00:02:36
Pretty sure, yeah.
► 00:02:36
What about some of the good things?
► 00:02:37
Could you name three good things he's done?
► 00:02:39
No.
► 00:02:41
Prison reform, record low unemployment rate, defeating ISIS.
► 00:02:44
I don't think he's responsible for any of those.
► 00:02:46
I think he inherited that.
► 00:02:48
Being more Obama, it's Obama's plans than he inherited it?
► 00:02:51
Yeah.
► 00:02:52
Well, why does he not get the credit for the good things, but then he gets blamed for the travel ban?
► 00:02:55
Do you know what I'm saying?
► 00:02:56
Because Obama made the travel ban and then he put it into effect, even though Obama made it.
► 00:03:00
Why does he get blamed for being racist and Obama doesn't?
► 00:03:04
You're saying that Obama initiated the travel ban?
► 00:03:06
Yeah, all those countries, that was a full plan drafted by the Obama administration, and then Trump had implemented it.
► 00:03:11
Do you guys know Trump's not that bad?
► 00:03:14
Run!
► 00:03:15
Run!
► 00:03:16
It's a picture of Trump, go!
► 00:03:19
scared um that was really that we actually got scared Did you see that?
► 00:03:23
Wow.
► 00:03:25
I didn't say he's that good.
► 00:03:26
I just said he's not that bad.
► 00:03:27
You know, his policies have really, I mean, not that this would even necessarily matter, but they've largely affected beneficially minority communities, especially black communities, with the recent prison reform, right?
► 00:03:38
That was massive and huge.
► 00:03:39
First president in many administrations to do any reform that helped lower sentences for nonviolent crimes, low drug offenses, which really affected black communities specifically.
► 00:03:46
Lowest unemployment rate in over 40 years in black communities.
► 00:03:49
Highest home ownership rate ever in black communities.
► 00:03:52
I mean, there's over 4 million people off food stamps.
► 00:03:55
I mean, it's like really cool.
► 00:03:57
And $800 billion as well back into the pockets of retired minorities, especially black people in those communities that had been robbed.
► 00:04:04
So a lot of his policies have helped communities, like specifically minority communities.
► 00:04:09
What's your opinion on the guy?
► 00:04:10
You think he's alright?
► 00:04:11
You think he's terrible?
► 00:04:13
Yeah, I think he's kind of terrible.
► 00:04:14
That paper you have right there is a bunch of accomplishments that Trump has done.
► 00:04:18
Have you ever seen those?
► 00:04:20
I've heard of them.
► 00:04:22
Do you feel like defeating ISIS is bad?
► 00:04:25
No.
► 00:04:26
It's not that bad, right?
► 00:04:31
Let's just concede and say everything that you think that is bad is bad because it's your opinion.
► 00:04:35
It's not, you can't be wrong for having an opinion.
► 00:04:38
What about any good things that he's done?
► 00:04:40
I'm not that educated, so I'm not going to say anything.
► 00:04:42
I said, I go by his rhetoric.
► 00:04:44
I don't know that much about his policies.
► 00:04:46
Do you feel like a president is defined by his rhetoric or his policies?
► 00:04:50
Both.
► 00:04:52
Well, how do we know him if we only know his rhetoric?
► 00:04:55
That's a good question.
► 00:04:56
I'm going to give it to you straight.
► 00:04:58
And as a socialist, and I'll self-admit it, he knows, he knows it.
► 00:05:02
He knows it.
► 00:05:02
He knows it.
► 00:05:03
You can't really be a socialist in America.
► 00:05:05
You can.
► 00:05:05
Well, because you don't live in a socialist system, so it's like...
► 00:05:07
Yeah, we do.
► 00:05:08
You ever heard of corporate socialism?
► 00:05:10
We don't actually live in a socialist system.
► 00:05:12
We're tax credits.
► 00:05:13
Do we give tax credits to corporations?
► 00:05:14
Well, yeah, I think that we have a flawed system of capitalism, but that's not pure socialism.
► 00:05:18
And we can't give that money to people who need it.
► 00:05:21
Well, that's what I'm saying.
► 00:05:21
We aren't in that system.
► 00:05:23
Are we giving money?
► 00:05:24
It's easy to be a socialist when you don't live in a socialist country.
► 00:05:27
Mexico is a socialist country.
► 00:05:28
Would you like to live in Mexico?
► 00:05:29
I used to live in Mexico.
► 00:05:30
Why are you here?
► 00:05:31
Huh?
► 00:05:32
My parents aren't here.
► 00:05:33
Well, I don't.
► 00:05:34
Well, then, I mean, you would really rather live in Mexico than here?
► 00:05:37
I live in both places.
► 00:05:38
I have dual citizenship.
► 00:05:39
What do you guys think?
► 00:05:41
I'm white.
► 00:05:42
She says, I'm sorry, you're white and wouldn't talk to me.
► 00:05:44
I don't remember a time in history when people used to say, I'm sorry, you're a certain skin color.
► 00:05:47
I don't want to associate with you.
► 00:05:48
Hmm.
► 00:05:49
Sounds pretty recent.
► 00:05:50
You guys agree, disagree with this statement?
► 00:05:51
Anybody think he's better or worse than he is?
► 00:05:54
Trump 2020.
► 00:05:55
Trump 2020.
► 00:05:56
What's up, man?
► 00:05:57
You have an opinion.
► 00:05:58
I really want to hear your opinion.
► 00:06:00
I want to imp Donald Trump.
► 00:06:03
Well, you could say f Donald Trump, but that's what I want to hear.
► 00:06:05
Why?
► 00:06:07
He expanded it.
► 00:06:08
I don't think he expanded it, no.
► 00:06:10
I think he did.
► 00:06:11
I don't believe he did.
► 00:06:13
It was like actually, because that's why seven of the top Muslim nations weren't on it, because it wasn't a Muslim ban.
► 00:06:17
It was terror-prone countries that Obama made.
► 00:06:19
So I'm just, and I'm not saying that Trump's the best guy in the world, by the way.
► 00:06:22
What's the reason Trump did it?
► 00:06:24
For racist purposes?
► 00:06:26
I mean, maybe just to put into effect.
► 00:06:27
Blatant racist.
► 00:06:28
Well, I mean, they're terror-prone countries.
► 00:06:30
Sexist.
► 00:06:32
He has a lot of women in his cabinet.
► 00:06:34
He loves other dictators because that's what he wants to emulate.
► 00:06:39
Who does he love?
► 00:06:40
This is bad news.
► 00:06:41
Kim Ol Jung, Putin, of course.
► 00:06:44
I think he loves them.
► 00:06:45
We got reoccurring characters here.
► 00:06:46
I'd be happy to reoccurring characters.
► 00:06:48
You guys might know this guy from the same school.
► 00:06:50
What's up?
► 00:06:50
Are you with the club or are you just around here or what?
► 00:06:52
No, I'm just wandering.
► 00:06:53
All right, awesome.
► 00:06:53
So you just wonder.
► 00:06:54
What's your name?
► 00:06:55
My name is Riley.
► 00:06:55
Are you wandering physically, or is that also metaphorically for your life as well?
► 00:06:58
Sure, yeah.
► 00:06:59
Pretty deep stuff right there, right?
► 00:07:00
Hating on Trump is cool.
► 00:07:02
Like it's a cool opinion to have.
► 00:07:03
And like people are afraid to have an opposite opinion to that because they're afraid of not looking cool or not being like socially accepted.
► 00:07:10
So the Progressive Church of Humanism, they have a song they sing every Sunday and it's called Donald Trump.
► 00:07:15
Yeah, no, isn't it YG?
► 00:07:17
I don't know.
► 00:07:18
I just know that a lot of people, that's a humanist church theme song.
► 00:07:21
Oh, really?
► 00:07:22
Yeah.
► 00:07:22
Well, I mean, have your own opinion, man.
► 00:07:24
Like, don't I love it.
► 00:07:26
Stop.
► 00:07:26
Who gives a being cool?
► 00:07:28
Like, who gives a f about being cool?
► 00:07:30
I'm talking to you.
► 00:07:31
Like, all the slightly offensive fans out there, all the slightly offensive subscribers, you know, looking cool, f being cool.
► 00:07:38
Have your own opinion, man.
► 00:07:39
If you like Donald Trump, say it.
► 00:07:41
Don't be afraid.
► 00:07:42
If you don't like Donald Trump, say it, you know?
► 00:07:44
Just either way, don't be an asshole.
► 00:07:46
College students, any intelligent college students want to chime in on what they think about Trump?
► 00:07:50
Good or bad?
► 00:07:52
You like him?
► 00:07:52
Do you hate him?
► 00:07:54
Make your school proud.
► 00:07:56
Top three worst things you think he's done?
► 00:08:01
We'll exclude things he's said, but like things he's actually done.
► 00:08:04
Honestly, don't really know.
► 00:08:05
I hear majority of what he said.
► 00:08:08
Do you think it's problematic, though?
► 00:08:09
And this is a real question.
► 00:08:10
Like, Obama had really good rhetoric, but his policies failed the black community specifically.
► 00:08:16
I mean, Chicago never even changed at all.
► 00:08:18
Obama was president for eight years, and yet Chicago never changed.
► 00:08:23
And, I don't know, wait, what are you trying to say now that, like...
► 00:08:29
For the most part, I can't really think of anything that actually changed under his administration.
► 00:08:34
So while I'm not here to vouch for Donald Trump's rhetoric or what he says, because I'm not going to waste my time trying to do that, don't you think that it's weird that we can look at Obama as a good president because he sounded nice, even though his policies didn't move the needle and change our country for the better?
► 00:08:48
You know, in fact, he actually got us in a lot of mess with bailing out banks and big corporations, which are opposite to Democrat ideas.
► 00:08:53
Meanwhile, Trump is actually moving the needle for all Americans, including minorities, which are often forgotten.
► 00:08:58
He says things that aren't popular, but yet do we judge, how do we judge a president?
► 00:09:02
Is it off of what they say or what they actually do?
► 00:09:05
I think...
► 00:09:06
Is that a B?
► 00:09:07
No.
► 00:09:07
No, it's not.
► 00:09:07
It just, I don't like the button.
► 00:09:09
I thought it was like flying AIDS or something.
► 00:09:11
I don't know what it was.
► 00:09:12
Sorry.
► 00:09:14
It's California.
► 00:09:14
We can have anything here.
► 00:09:15
Actually, I don't really know.
► 00:09:17
I just think it comes down to how you judge a person.
► 00:09:20
Like, when you see a person that you think is a bad person, what do you judge them off of?
► 00:09:25
Primarily their actions.
► 00:09:26
So what are we getting so far?
► 00:09:28
What's the consensus?

► 00:09:29
We're talking to people and they're saying stuff about the things that we're saying.
► 00:09:33
And then they were going, what?
► 00:09:34
I didn't know that Trump wasn't this bad.
► 00:09:36
He must be great.
► 00:09:37
And I'm like, yeah, you're a Trump supporter now.
► 00:09:39
And they're like, cool, can I work for you?
► 00:09:40
And I'm like, yeah, sure.
► 00:09:42
So everyone we talk to has been loving us.
► 00:09:44
You're useless.
► 00:09:46
I asked you to do one thing and to support the show and just say something useful and you've wasted 20 seconds of the viewers' time.
► 00:09:51
All right.

Well, at least you're not recording in 4K.
► 00:09:53
What do you need me to say?
► 00:09:54
Hey, I'll do your sound bites for you.
► 00:09:56
Yeah, you know, at the end of the day, the media convinces us we're all left and we're all right and we're all Nazis and we're all socialists.
► 00:10:02
We're really not.
► 00:10:03
We're mostly just in the middle.
► 00:10:04
So we're here today to spread some awareness and tell people that, you know, Trump's not that bad.
► 00:10:09
Thanks for demonetizing my video by using the phrase Nazi.
► 00:10:12
Yeah, he wasted your time.

Elijah's all right.
► 00:10:15
Elijah's all right.
► 00:10:16
When it came down to Obama, I never seen like things that made me like, oh, he's a sus.
► 00:10:22
Like, I'm not down with it.
► 00:10:24
He did lie to cover up, I mean, the killing of our own foreign ambassador in Benghazi.
► 00:10:30
Wasn't aware of that.
► 00:10:30
Yeah, he fully, publicly lied, colluded with Hillary Clinton to blame it on a video when they had knowledge of the attack and then didn't put in help and then they covered up and lied like publicly.
► 00:10:38
He ended up getting tortured and burned alive, our ambassador, and he didn't send in troops.
► 00:10:42
And that he also got caught in a scandal like selling with his cabinet selling firearms to Mexico that got lost.
► 00:10:50
It was a huge, huge scandal, Fast and Furious.
► 00:10:53
It was on the news for like a year.
► 00:10:54
And we have a bunch of illegal firearms now used to commit murders across Mexico and the border that were due to his plans and his administration.
► 00:10:59
Not saying that everything he did was bad either, but just saying sometimes we don't hear about the bad that happened under his administration.
► 00:11:05
Yeah, okay, well, let's take into account that when Obama was elected, I think I was like 10, so a lot wasn't...
► 00:11:13
You were 10.
► 00:11:14
Yeah.
► 00:11:15
Yeah, like my first introduction into politics is like this whole situation with Donald Trump becoming president and things like that.
► 00:11:22
So this is my first.
► 00:11:24
Yeah, I'm sorry for expecting you to know that because I understand that.
► 00:11:28
What do you think?
► 00:11:29
Trump, is he bad?
► 00:11:30
Is he good?
► 00:11:31
What's your opinion?
► 00:11:32
Definitely not.
► 00:11:32
I'm conservative, so I feel like Trump is doing an excellent job.
► 00:11:36
Way better than Obama was.

► 00:11:37
I mean, Obama wasn't even doing nothing.
► 00:11:39
He put us in Trudin's dollars into debt.
► 00:11:42
And we needed a businessman to get that solved, honestly.

No, I was just going to ask if you're slightly offensive.
