He brings out South Carolina Governor Tim Scott (played by Devon Walker). “I’m here to help Trump win the Black vote,” he says. Trump adds, “I’m more popular than you among the Blacks, which is really saying something.” Walker, as Scott says, “Black people have called my support humiliating, but trust me, I am my own man!”
Trump then brings out South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (played by Heidi Gardner), wearing a red MAGA hat, holding a stuffed dog, and pointing a fake gun at the dog (a reference to her shooting a dog).

Sometimes I just feel like remembering why I blog at DWT. And in the end, it always comes down to economic inequality and how it’s one of the most pressing and divisive issues facing our country. Imagine a nation, our nation, where the top 1% possess more wealth than the bottom 90% combined— a nation, our nation, where the gap between the haves and the have-nots widens with each passing year.
