Wow, what a trainwreck. Trump's handlers ended the hour-long interview by a panel of three journalists, all black women, at today’s National Association of Black Journalists and pulled him off stage at 35 minutes.
Here's one of his answers. Is it racist, misogynistic or both?
REPORTER: "Some of your own supporters, including republicans on Capitol Hill, have labeled Vice President Harris , the first Black and Asian American woman to serve on a major party ticket, as a DEI hire. Would you tell your supporters to stop it?"
TRUMP: "How do you define DEI?"
REPORTER: Diversity, equity, and inclusion."
TRUMP: "Is that your definition? Could you give me a definition?"
REPORTER: I am asking you a question, a very direct question."
TRUMP: "Define it for me."
REPORTER: "I just defined it for you. Do you believe that Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman?"
TRUMP: "Now it is a little bit different. I have known her a long time, indirectly, not directly very much, and she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. i did not know she was Black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn Black, and now she wants to be known as Black. is she Indian or is she Black?"
REPORTER: "She has always identified as Black. She went to a Black college."
TRUMP: "She obviously does not. She was Indian all the way, and all of a sudden, she made a turn and became a Black person. I think somebody should look into that, when you ask -- you continue in a very hostile --"
The interview went rapidly and seriously downhill. The audience groaned at his answers.
Whoever advised him to accept the interview, thank you so much. The Harris campaign has weeks worth of gold to mine for ads.
