    Trump Makes Same Gaffe as Biden in Least Self-Aware Twitter Attack

    President Donald Trump really thought he had Joe Biden with this one.“After yesterday’s statement, Sleepy Joe Biden is no longer worthy of the Black Vote!” the president tweeted on Friday morning. He left out any context, assuming that his biggest fans would be fully aware of the most recent Biden gaffe that has already become the top story on Fox News. During a livestreamed interview with both the National Association of Hispanic Journalists and the National Association of Black Journalists, former Vice President Biden had the following to say in response to a question about U.S. relations with Cuba.“Unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly diverse attitudes about different things,” he said. “You go to Florida, you find a very different attitude about immigration than you do in Arizona. So it’s a very diverse community.”“How dare you lump a race of people together in the same category and tell them what they think or what they should think!” Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade declared—unironically—of Biden’s comments on Friday morning before Trump’s tweet. “To me, there’s very few things more insulting.”Biden was broadly criticized for making such a sweeping generalization about the “African-American community,” but unlike Trump, he soon issued a sincere apology.“I made some comments about diversity in the African-American and Latino communities that I want to clarify,” Biden said. “In no way did I mean to suggest the African-American community is a monolith—not by identity, not on issues, not at all.”And yet Trump is so unaware of his own racist tendencies that—after retweeting a couple of Black conservatives who were embracing NotableException as the new Deplorable—he made the exact same gaffe in his tweet.Evidently Trump thinks he can win “the Black Vote” as a monolith because Biden is treating them like a monolith. But at least his habit of randomly capitalizing words on Twitter finally paid off. Fox’s Chris Wallace: Trump Only Wants More Debates Because He’s LosingRead more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

    Disney World Scales Back Hours Amid Disappointing Attendance

    Amid lower than expected attendance since reopening last month, Disney is scaling back its hours at four of its Florida theme parks, including the Magic Kingdom.Beginning in September, Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom will each close an hour earlier, while Epcot will cut back by two hours each day. The changes take place Sept. 8 and through October.Disney reopened the Orlando, Florida, theme park-resort on July 11 in hopes of easing the fiscal hit caused by the shutdown of movie theaters and other revenue streams as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, as Disney Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy said during the company’s quarterly conference call with Wall Street analysts on Tuesday, earnings from reopening Disney World fell well short of expectations.Also Read: WarnerMedia CEO Feels No Pressure to Push Films to Streaming Despite Disney's 'Mulan' MoveThe parks division lost out on $3.5 billion in operating income for the three months ending June 27, the company said. Overall, Disney’s parks business pulled in just $983 million during its third quarter, which was an 85% slide compared with the $6.6 billion in revenue the parks earned during the same period last year.“We’ve been able to achieve net contribution at current attendance levels,” McCarthy said during the call, which was live streamed. “But the upside we are seeing from reopening is less than we previously expected due to the continued rise of COVID cases in Florida.”Read original story Disney World Scales Back Hours Amid Disappointing Attendance At TheWrap
