Trump Faces Tough Questions And Falls Apart
If you follow the news you will hear about Trumps appearance at the black journalists convention today.
He didnt get the softball questions he gets from right wing outlets and he floundered badly.
Stay tuned .

My dude, tune into CSPAN right now. Your guy is literally losing votes in real time with his shtick at the National Association of BLACK journalists convention. This is 10x worse than Bidens debate. Trump is so done.
=====================================================
Among other things he said that Kamala Harris wasnt black prior to recently, and then said "is she Indian or is he black?"
He hemmed and hawed over the story of the black woman who was killed for boiling a pot of water.
He repeatedly insulted the interviewers (other than the Fox News Harris Faukner)
He complained about the sound equipment.
and on and on

The first question was about denigrating things he has done or said in the past about people of color, and Trump started insulting the interviewer.
Unbelievable how some just bend over backwards to defend this indefensible fucking moron.
Didn't even answer the first question - just said that it was asked in such a horrible manner - don't even say hello - how are you - are you with ABC because I think they're a fake news network - terrible - I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit
This is what happens when the interviewers are not from Fox News or far right podcasts and talk radio shows.
The interview was supposed to be an hour, I heard, but the Trump campaign stopped it half way through.
He didn't understand the word "denigrate"
I just listened to the introduction and his 'answer' was a non-stop whiny little bitch fest of his unfair treatment and his usual verbal diarrhea and a few of his alleged accomplishments for black people and insulting the interviewer - saying what a nasty question it was. I didn't hear nasty - just - how do you defend your bigotry?
So you don't think being called a bigot is even a bit nasty? That was her, and many others I'm sure, opinion and I don't think Trump appreciated it. How would you react if someone were to do that to you?
The truth is the truth.
Why the fuck would someone do that to me?
Face it, the man (and I use the term loosely) is thin skinned. Better men than him have been called a bigot and managed to get thru the interview without bitching and moaning
She did not call him a bigot. Who gives a fuck what it appreciates?
'Why should black voters trust you when you have used language like that?' were her exact words
I have been saying something for I dont know how long. Trump almost never agrees to be interviewed by "journalists" that are not lackeys and sycophants.
Today we saw why.
He is completely unfit to lead this country.
Beyond that, he is a clown. What an embarrassment for the USA.
Yeah, the former 'president' is so diplomatic and tactful and decorous . . .
Yeah, how dare she ask him to answer a truthful question.........
Where the fuck was Kamala?
Um, ok, where? This wasn't a debate, Vic.
You do know both were invited, right?
I suppose you won't find it in the tiny seed posted above, so here:
Tia Mitchell, chair of the Political Task Force for the NABJ, also posted on social media that after Harris’ camp confirmed the presidential hopeful would not be able to attend, they attempted to encourage the campaign to provide a surrogate instead. However, Mitchell noted that NABJ leadership was not aware of these conversations and only wanted Harris, not an alternate to speak at the conference.
“I stand behind NABJ’s decision to invite former President Trump to answer questions from Black journalists relevant to the Black community,” Mitchell wrote. “I remain hopeful that NABJ members will get to hear from VP Harris in the same way in some fashion.”
Why Donald Trump Will Speak at NABJ – but Not Kamala Harris (thewrap.com)
They also delayed the damn thing for an hour, for some unknown reason.
Maybe the Harris team knew Trump would implode and didnt want to get in the way.
As far as the delay, I saw someone who says they know say it was because the journalist group wanted to fact check him live and he wouldnt go on until they agreed not to do it.
Maybe something will come out about that later.
She has two more bumps coming: the convention and the VP pick.
After that we will have to see if the media can keep this going for 3 months.
That would be my guess as well.
"Black jobs..."
I think the right wing better get used to saying, "Madam President".
Hopefully.
Not at, with. Because it was funny. The Rachel Dolezal of politics.
[✘]
The first question included asking him about his lies about Barack Obama not being born in the United States, and Trump lost it and started insulting the interviewer.
There will be ads coming out of this interview.
Rachel Dolezal deserves the scorn heaped on her.
Kamala Harris's parents are Jamaican (father) and Indian (mother)
She's black and Asian
With Irish/white heritage as well.
"My roots go back, within my lifetime, to my paternal grandmother Miss Chrishy (née Christiana Brown, descendant of Hamilton Brown who is on record as plantation and slave owner and founder of Brown’s Town) and to my maternal grandmother Miss Iris (née Iris Finegan, farmer and educator, from Aenon Town and Inverness, ancestry unknown to me). The Harris name comes from my paternal grandfather Joseph Alexander Harris, land-owner and agricultural ‘produce’ exporter (mostly pimento or all-spice), who died in 1939 one year after I was born and is buried in the church yard of the magnificent Anglican Church which Hamilton Brown built in Brown’s Town (and where, as a child, I learned the catechism, was baptized and confirmed, and served as an acolyte)." Donald Harris, 2018
In addition to Hamilton Brown on his paternal side, his maternal grandmother's last name was Finegan. Joe Biden’s Irish ancestors were also named Finegan.
Is that why the campaign stopped the interview? LOL
That audience was kind of hard to hear actually what was going on - who were in attendance at this meet and greet, etc.?
I think the audience was black journalists from across the nation, but I'm not sure if anyone other than that was invited.
Trump gets credit for taking a lot of hostile questions.
Trump is fearless!
Then why did his masters usher him off the stage as soon as Project 2025 came up? Trump is a coward, just like his kids.
"Catastrophe is too kind a word."
Pundit on Trump today.
The pundit was former Republican Congressman Charlie Dent, who is generally a voice of reason.
Do not underestimate the power and irrationality of a cult.
Just look at Jim Jones....
Have you watched the documentaries on him? There are two on Hulu. One is a 3 part series focusing on him and there is another about the women - his mistresses and wife - behind Jonestown.
I have watched docs on him, mostly on Prime or my other streaming services. I need to renew my Hulu subscription
My subscription ends in a couple of days. I'm watching the documentaries again now before it runs out. I cut out a lot of streaming services, trying to cut corners. I just have my internet provider now and sling TV and Peacock.
These are exclusive to Hulu, I think.
I'm watching Jonestown, Terror in the Jungle, now.
The shows I watched didn't go at all into his background and growing up - this is really in depth.
Nothing like actually watching this clown in action.
What an embarrassment for the nation.
Trump " A lot of the journalists in this room are Black " ( speaking at the National Association for Black Journalists Conference ).
This could be a Monty Python sketch.
Q: You have pushed false claims about people like President Barack Obama, saying he was not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswomen, women of color who were American citizens, to go back to where they came from. You have used words like ‘animal’ to describe Black district attorneys. You've attacked Black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are quote, ‘stupid and racist.’ You've had dinner with a white supremacist at Mar-a-Lago. So my question, sir, now that you are asking Black supporters to vote for you, why should Black voters trust you after you have used language like that?
Trump: Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner
Truthfully?
'What a rude introduction'
Did he expect a kiss your ass fest like usual?
Trump should have been asked questions like that a long time ago, but our media is sometimes incompetent.
The truth is horrible in your case Trump.
Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How dare she use his own words against him?
It is not funny.
He sits there and lies. The worst inflation. Millions of illegals from gangs, prisons and insane asylums are pouring across the border, taking your jobs.
All in all, I thought he was speciously perfidious: The cases that he makes (if the facts would hold his story up) sound good, sound reasonable, because he is a con-man. But as soon as one scratches the surface, the facts intrude and the reasoning all falls apart.
I agree is it not funny. It is, however, ridiculous ... which is the hallmark of Monty Python.
And so many want to elect this ridiculous narcissist scoundrel to the presidency.
Did he not answer any of the questions?
Were there any other questions?
I think they asked him seven or 8 different questions.
Did he (not) answer any of them in the same way?
LOL, what a putz.
Well we now know who isn't a coward and afraid to face a hostile interview, anybody know when the democrat nominees interview with Waters/ Hannity and Judge Jeanine going to take place?
Well that is certainly finding a silver lining in a cloud of shit. Trump just (again) made a fool of himself and illustrated yet again that he is an asshole. But, sure, he is a brave asshole because he faced a hostile interview.
(Ever consider the possibility that Trump did not think he would be asked probing questions?)
Trump thinks he can bullshit his way through anything. And he does indeed bullshit his way through life. He does not seem to realize that not everyone is gullible enough to believe his bullshit.
For example, he claims he won the classified documents case thrown out by Cannon. He did not win it, a rogue Judge threw it out (under appeal). He further claims that he was authorized by the PRA and that the case was bogus. The PRA says the exact opposite. It states that as soon as Trump's term ended, he no longer had any right to hold any official documents (in particular classified and top secret documents). The only documents he had a right to take with him would be personal notes that had nothing to do with official business.
Just amazing that any thinking person buys the bullshit from this con-man.
Yeah Joe, what were you thinking.
Do you understand that the PRA states the exact opposite of what Trump claims?
Yet the mindboggling defense of the indefensible continues ...........
Thinking people don't.
We also know who is a blatant racist. That was an epic failure on trump's part.
He dropped out due to senility. and replaced himself with a moron whose only attribute is the ability to suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
C'mon, I doubt trump could do that.
this is a good one
I don't know, but after watching that a few times, it looks to me that he loosened the cap. Maybe he noticed she had struggled with the bottle earlier and decided to loosen the cap for her. You see his hands rotate CCW, that is loosening.
I think he simply reached for the bottle thinking it was his. This is not something worth discussing.
nah. he didnt take a drink. if he thought it was his water bottle and he reached for it he would have taken a drink.
I dont know whether or not it is "worth discussing", but it was strange.
Yes, but the narrative is that he is so evil that he would tighten the interviewers water bottle, which goes to everyone's impression on his character and its already out there for discussion.
I think he simply reached for the bottle thinking it was his.
If this is so, then others, like JR, are running with a false narrative.
Well he could've just picked it up to take a drink, but realized it wasn't his and put it back down. Neither strange or nefarious. But look at all the traction it got on "X".
Or just plain weird.
I dont think this was at all a serious matter, and it could be he thought it was his bottle and a second later realized it wasnt and put it back, but it was strange.
The bottle was right next to the woman, not him.
But he was always facing her and his water bottle was behind him, so he could've made that mistake.
ok.
I'm not going to get into a long discussion about this.
Wow...just wow, trump totally screwed the pooch.
Hopefully he will continue to engage in interviews other than with Fox News. I doubt it though.
He has always taken on all customers.
I hope he continues to 'take on' interviewers who ask real questions.
Do you think he did a 'good job' in this interview?
That's a lie. He is already ducking a debate with Harris.. What happened to, "anyplace any time"? He's a coward.
He is seemingly unafraid to be amongst the enemy and holds his own in unfriendly surroundings.
I doubt that Kamala can do as well, since there is no way she can defend her awful record.
The latest example before this was Biden's bluff. Trump said "I call!"
I thought Harris told the Stallion crowd that Trump should say it to her face. Why didn't she show up?
They are not enemies, they are fellow Americans. But remind me again how trump isn't divisive.
I like it when politicians like Trump display obvious consciousness of guilt. Which he definitely does here
Instead of at least trying to answer the question, all he did was attack Rachel Scott, calling ABC "fake news", and rambling about all he thinks he has done for black people. She asked him a serious question and he didnt even try to answer it.
Because Trump would literally chew her up and spit her out because she is just another empty radical left vessel. She's getting all this irrational exuberance and adoration from hard core leftists and low information lemmings, but that's likely to lessen when the going gets tough and she has to explain her past words and actions,
Black Jobs..
Nah! He handled it pretty well, telling it like it is, considering the hostile welcome he got. Where was Kamala?
Trump Attended the National Association of Black Journalists Conference and Hoo Boy (townhall.com)
I suspect he will end up debating Harris....if she isn't afraid of showing up and taking tough questions from unbiased reporters
She literally challenged trump to a debate an hour ago.
He handled that just as well as Biden handled the debate. It was a fucking disaster.
Wow, Townhall backing trump, so WEIRD!
Yep, kinda like Joy Reid, Morning Joe, The View, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, NPR, WAPO, and the NYT backing Harris.
Totally efffen Weird!!!!
Campaigning? This wasn't a debate.
Traveling to Texas and preparing to give the eulogy at Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee's funeral tomorrow. She is also attending two campaign stops there tonight.
Trump posted a video on Truth Social after the event. In this post he says this is evidence that Harris knows she is not black. The video clip is of Harris cooking with the Indian-American actress Mindy Kaling. In the clip Harris literally says to Kaling "You look just like half my family"
Half.
A moron could figure out what that means, but trump cannot.
To many blacks, Kamala is not really black or lived like an average black person does. She's just another of the leftist elitists who has led a privileged life thanks to her parents.
You are speaking for black Americans now?
Yea, you said the same thing about President Obama. If you need to justify it to yourself, go for it, leave the rest of us out of your delusions.
What are the races, biologically speaking? What racial label do you apply to Harris? How important are physical looks to you?
