Video of a Trump supporter seeming to accuse a hospital worker of racism for calling the outgoing president orange appeared on Reddit’s “Public Freakout” forum Monday and quickly went viral. The Trump supporter, who is a patient himself judging by the IV, filmed himself being told to stop bothering other patients and claiming to have “connections to the White House.”

This is right after he turns the camera to himself, showing two lipstick mark tattoos on his neck. And it only goes downhill from there.

“I know you do,” the off-screen employee says in response to his connections claim, which is really the funniest response possible. “I don’t care about the orange man.”
“Oh, now you wanna start disrespecting people?” the patient says with the most emphasis possible on the “P” sounds. He may or may not be trying to spit at her through his mask, which he is wearing improperly, exposing his nub of a chin.

He quickly begins to not-so-subtly suggest that calling Trump orange is a form of racism in spite of “orange” not being a race, but a result of wearing too much makeup that doesn’t match his or anyone’s skin. In doing so, he almost immediately engages in homophobia and transphobia.
“You wanna start calling people by their color, when you sit there and you wear that rainbow thing?” he spits. “You’re a disgrace! Disgrace! You make fun of orange people?”
He then possibly calls the hospital worker a platypus, but it’s hard to tell. Many commenters seem to think he says “lick-a-lotta-puss” at this point, which we can assume is a way of referring to the employee as a lesbian. Then he switches gears to transphobia.

“You’re disgusting, that’s why you can’t get a man. You can’t get a man because you are one. ‘Cause you are a man. How dare you talk about a person’s skin color?”
The video has gained hundreds of comments on Reddit, most mocking the guy for implying that there is a human race of orange people in existence.
“Those poor Ooppa [sic] Loompas,” said one Reddit user.
Others doubt that he has any significant connections to the White House.
“He knows someone who lives in a house that happens to be painted white,” said user Belmish.
