Trump was interviewed in front of the National Assembly of Black Journalists, obviously as an attempt to win black votes and make Kamala Harris look bad, but it did not go well.

He was pressed hard by the interviewer and Trump fumbled over his words, gave wishy-washy answers, and the audience can be heard laughing the entire time. He tried saying Harris was a “DEI hire” and when that didn’t work, tried convincing the audience that she was “fake black”. He also struggled to define what the term “woke” meant and even gave up, eventually asking for the definition to be given to him. Despite having 20 minutes left, Trump signaled for his advisor to cut the interview short.

This will be a huge blow to his campaign, especially with Biden leaving. DISCUSS, TRUMPTARDS!!!

Had to laugh at Trump. He was trying to be on his usual bully pulpit but those broads railroaded him. They kept him in line and he had no where to turn. That's why he left early. He could not get past them. Too funny.

It was a disaster, but he doesn’t care. It gets him back in the news

Donnie's dementia was in high gear yesterday. Maybe Donnie skipped his meds.

Interesting, where’s JoWilli and Bubblegum flocking to Trump’s aid? Guess even THEY know he fucked this one up.

[–] Druff (1712) a month ago

The only thing they'd have to say is, "He told those n-word cunts." But they know they can't say that even here, so they're keeping their big fat mouths shut for once.

Another troll fail, go back to Film Boards. lol

buna

[–] MyPhoneAccount (157) a month ago

Wow, that’s the best you got? Trump is done for. LOL

[–] WandererFromYs (2095) a month ago

More lies, watch the actual video not just someone’s bias write up of it. First of all, they invited him, and then immediately suggested that he didn’t deserve to be there, lol. Kamala Harris was also invited, but obviously she didn’t care about black journalists enough to even show up.

He didn’t “try suggesting” Kamala Harris is a DEI he was asked. That was literally a question, and the journalist couldn’t define it for him.

He said she he didn’t know Kamala Harris was black because she always identified as Indian until she ran for vice president, which is again true.

It shouldn’t have been a debate, but Trumped owned those journalists, and the crowd was cheering for him. Don’t believe this BS.

You're arguing with a bunch of sockpuppet accounts for the same person.

[–] WandererFromYs (2095) a month ago

I’m not necessarily responding for them. I’m putting it out there for people that may not be aware of what happened, and only have have the link and original post to go on which are both filled with lies.

[–] luvthepros (728) a month ago

The crowd was jeering him, not cheering. Trump fumbled over his words. He was embarrassing himself and spouting the same rhetoric he says at every time he gets in front of a crowd. It really is getting old.

[–] WandererFromYs (2095) a month ago

I can tell you didn’t watch it.

[–] Yatzo (1766) a month ago

I watched the whole cringy thing .
Trump went rambling off topic on every question that was asked.
It was disasterous for him, except it got him back in the news cycle for a couple days

[–] WandererFromYs (2095) a month ago

You are also a left wing NPC, and you are going to parrot anything that is in the left wing news cycle.

He didn’t ramble, he answered the questions, and to the journalists credit, they mostly let him, there wasn’t a lot of overtalk and cutting off.

[–] Yatzo (1766) a month ago

I watched it, he deflected questions LIKE HE ALWAYS DOES and rambled off topic like a fifth grader, and thankfully sane people saw the same thing.
I don’t know what an NPC is, but I’m assuming it’s not MAGA

[–] robocat893 (15201) a month ago

Why are you making excuses for Trump? The next five months will be very uncomfortable for you. I know you're upset that Trump is old and suffers from dementia. Since you claimed that Biden was too old and senile to be be president why aren't Trump supporters holding Trump to the same standard?

[–] MyPhoneAccount (157) a month ago

So does cheering sound like “hahahahaha” where you’re from?

[–] WandererFromYs (2095) a month ago

At times yes, Trump is funny. Do people yelling out woooo! Sounds like boos where you are from?

And while you are at it, please point out where he couldn’t define woke.

[–] MyPhoneAccount (157) a month ago

Okay. *points to video*

[–] itsbananas2024 (960) a month ago

It seemed like the crowd was doing both as if they were told to sneer Trump no matter what but didnt know what to do when he made them laugh.

[–] moviechatterer (14844) a month ago

as if they were told to sneer Trump no matter what

so more maga "it was rigged!" whining then?

[–] itsbananas2024 (960) a month ago

"so more maga "it was rigged!" whining then?"

Nah, even though im being slightly hyperbolic, its not a stretch to imagine at a convention that was done in bad faith from the onset. The event was a "gotcha" event (even though *gotcha-event* wasn't in thier title). These people were never interested in the issues, they just wanted to get-em.

All politicians need to be grilled like this. Don't hog it for one person, there is plenty to dish out. Im still waiting for Harris to be interviewed.

[–] BKB (8657) a month ago

Um, I listening to the interview itself and sorry to burst your bubble, but those are Cheers. Get your hearing checked Lib

[–] WandererFromYs (2095) a month ago

He also struggled to define what the term “woke” meant and even gave up, eventually asking for the definition to be given to him.

Trump signaled for his advisor to cut the interview short.

Here is a link to the full interview, he was never asked to define woke, and I don’t believe the word is ever mentioned.

I also don’t see any Indication that he signaled them to cut it short. He was talking, and they almost had to cut him off to end it. However they ended up starting about 30 minutes late, and the interview lasted 35 minutes. He probably only has a limited amount of time, and he probably only planned to be there for an hour.

One day soon you will realize what a fuck up Trump is then you'll stop making excuses for him. Trump is a racist which was proven by his comments at the National Assembly of Black Journalists and millions of Americans watched exactly what happened. Anyway, Trump is way too old to be president again and his dementia is getting worse by the day. Why do you worship a 34 times convicted felon?

[–] itsbananas2024 (960) a month ago

Which racist comment offended you the most?

[–] luvthepros (728) a month ago

Just the way Trump uttered the word "black" when questioning Kamala Harris' ethnicity. That nasty tone in his voice alone is enough for black people to abandon Trump in droves. Trump better be on his best behavior in the next few months or he will be shut out by the black community.

[–] WandererFromYs (2095) a month ago

Which comments prove he was racist? Go ahead and watch it. He is also asked about his age, so you can get the answer directly from
him.

I don’t worship Trump, but some of you are so deranged that anything that isn’t an attack sends you over the edge. No one cares about those bogus felonies though for writing legal fee on checks to his lawyer lmao. That isn’t going to stop anyone from voting for him, but go ahead and keep cut and pasting it on to every post.

"I don’t worship Trump, but some of you are so deranged that anything that isn’t an attack sends you over the edge."

100%

[–] Branson26 (664) a month ago

Well said. 👍

[–] Jinx (3387) a month ago

I watched it. He didn't own anyone, he got owned and he didn't even realize it which makes it all the more humiliating.

[–] BKB (8657) a month ago

Try harder or cry harder. Either way, Harris was a no show at this event for some sassy woman who's so insistent Trump is ducking her and it's comical when you consider how many times the man clearly stated he'd debate her, WHEN she's officially nominated and not a VP which is what she is, like it or not

[–] SweetTooth43 (1961) a month ago

🚫 More Fake News 🚫
Try harder next time

[–] MyPhoneAccount (157) a month ago

Uh, did you not see the link? Or are you just legitimately stupid? Probably both. But you’re right, Trump never went to the NABJ. In fact, the NABJ doesn’t exist at all! Black people don’t exist at all! Fake news! Try harder, liberals.

[–] SweetTooth43 (1961) a month ago

Cool man, now calm down and get that TDS under control. 🤪

[–] SamNoyoun (5184) a month ago

It's simply because he is completely ignorant of the tactics of powerful, intelligent women! This guy from the AP puts it nicely:

Harris, the daughter of immigrants from Jamaica and India, is an adroit code-switcher, a term that can include deliberately adjusting one’s speech style and expression to optimize relatability and ensure she gets a message across.

Former President Donald Trump, during a contentious interview session at a meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists, showed no familiarity with the concept. He implied that Harris is inauthentic for embracing all aspects of her heritage. His failure to recognize code-switching also speaks to a prevailing belief that whiteness, often correlated with speaking in plainly enunciated English, is the default in our politics and democracy.
