Of course Trump beats up on her when she quit after his despicable Jan 6 coup attempt. It's called an easy out. You know that Trump took forever to get anyone seated in his cabinet. I'm sure he knew how crooked she is and how he could get in on her and her husband's Chinese access.Over the past several months, the leading Republican presidential candidate has launched a series of racist attacks on the wife of the Republican Party’s Senate leader, a woman who once served in his Cabinet.
But while former President Donald Trump’s taunts at Elaine Chao — demeaning her as “Coco Chow” or a variation of Mitch McConnell’s “China-loving wife” — have been mostly met with silence from fellow GOP officials, the main target of them is now speaking out.
“When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name. Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation,” Chao said in a statement to POLITICO. “He doesn’t seem to understand that, which says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans.”
On at least a half a dozen occasions, Trump has taken to his social media platform, Truth Social, to criticize McConnell’s leadership, and to suggest, among other things, that he is conflicted because of his wife’s connection to China. Last fall, in a message widely viewed by Republicans and Democrats as a threat, he said that McConnell “has a DEATH WISH.”
“Trump’s repeated racist attacks on Elaine Chao are beneath the office he once held and particularly despicable in this moment when the Asian American community has been subject to threats and harassment,” said Alyssa Farah, a former administration official turned critic of Trump.
“It’s a bizarre obsession he has with her,” said Scott Jennings, a Republican strategist and former McConnell aide. “If you heard someone on the street making these rants you’d expect to see them in a sandwich board or a straight jacket.”

Dims like to dissect Trump's every utterance.... it distracts from their proclivity for fucking children, which is still considered somewhat distasteful.... even in their own circles.

So mocking someone for a Chinese name is not worthy of comment?

"Coco" is a racist word for asians? I dont understand the name at all. Where does "Coco" come from? It seems like im missing the joke here.Over the past several months, the leading Republican presidential candidate has launched a series of racist attacks on the wife of the Republican Party’s Senate leader, a woman who once served in his Cabinet.

Trump is commenting on their racketeering operations. Is that a problem for you?
Accept that you fear what you don't understand.

Everything with the shitlibs is "nuanced".
It requires convoluted, incoherent explanations to get from Point A to Point Racism... well, that and a measure of industrial-grade lying.
I find it more productive to laugh and point at them rather than to actually engage and play along with their mental illnesses.

Japanese call blacks "kokujin".
I always thought the "koku" was derived from the word "cocoa" or chocolate.
My Japanese in-laws are gone so I can't ask them to clarify.

He is not wrong. Many Taiwanese are CCP sympathizers, such as the Kuomintang, Tsai Eng-meng ... So, being born in Taiwan does not mean you are against CCP.

You are dead wrong. Not all Taiwanese believe they are Chinese. It is a very complex issue. The first issue is we need to define "what is Chinese?"
