Thank you Donald Trump for showing your true colors to the nation at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Annual Convention & Career Fair during its opening day in Chicago.
Thank you for being so open and frank with your weird thoughts and nasty opinions and laying it all out for millions to see.
Thank you for giving a chance to ABC's Rachel Scott to ask this opening question which was heard by millions around the nation -
I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today.
You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals, from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true.
You have told four congressmen, women of color, who were American citizens, to go back to where they came from.
You have used words like 'animal' and 'rabbit' to describe Black district attorneys.
You've attacked Black journalists, calling them a 'loser,' saying the questions that they ask are, 'stupid and racist.'
You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar a Lago resort.
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?
Thank you for showing us that, deep inside, you are an extremely insecure man, full of fear and hostility towards women when you answered that question, with your head spinning —
I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, first question. I think it's a very nasty question.
Thank you for openly displaying the racism and misogyny that infests every fiber of your being and your hardcore supporters, when you spoke of VP Kamala Harris —
She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't 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. I don’t know is she Indian or is she Black?
But you know what, I respect either one. But she obviously doesn’t. Because she was Indian all the way then all of a sudden she made a turn. And she became a Black person. And I think somebody should look into that.
Thank you for lying through your teeth on why the event started late, since the real reason was no secret.
For you to start off a question-and-answer period, especially when you're 35 minutes late because you couldn't get your equipment to work, in such a hostile manner, I think it's a disgrace, I really do.
The event was delayed because Trump demanded the NABJ not fact-check his answers live.
Thank for again for showing how divorced you are from the truth -
I was invited here, and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala. I was told my opponent was going to be here. It turned out my opponent, isn’t here. You invited me on under false pretense,
Thank for showing the nation that your persona is based entirely on lies and gaslighting, again and again thru the event —
I have been the best president for the black population since Abraham Lincoln
I've done so much (for the black population) and, you know, when I say this, historically Black colleges and universities were out of money. They were stone cold broke and I saved them and I gave them long term financing and nobody else was doing it.
I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking Black jobs
Your grocery bills are up 40, 50, 60 percent, right?
Democrats are allowing the death of a baby after a baby is born.
Nobody died (on Jan 6) ...
Thank you for demonstrating your dumbness and that you have no clue how to answer questions. When Scott asked you to define a “Black job”, you blurted -
A Black job is anybody that has a job.
Thank you for showing your delusion and weird mental state when you were told "If you win, you’ll still be president at 82, which is older than Biden is right now -
"But not mentally. Mentally, he’s shot. He’s shot," Trump said to audience laughter.
Thank you for showing how you hate law enforcement officers and lawmakers, when discussing the assaults on 140 officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, and whether you would pardon those arrested for their involvement in the riot -
Absolutely, I would, if they're innocent, I would pardon them.
You were politely reminded by Scott that “They've been convicted.”
The women of the nation thank you for clarifying that you agree with your creepy VP mate Vance on his bizarre "childless cat ladies" statements -
What he's saying is that he thinks the family experience is a very important thing. It's a very good thing.
Thank you for admitting that you are screwed with your creepy VP choice -
I think this is well documented historically, the vice president, in terms of the election, does not have any impact. No impact.
Thank you for being so horribly monstrous in front of these 3 black women that your handlers decided to rescue you after just 35 minutes.
Here is the full video of the sordid interview -
and a 11-minute supercut -
Thank you Donald for laying out your weirdness, your nastiness, your hostility and your mendacity, for all to see.
Thank you for convincing millions of Independents that you are utterly unfit to clean their toilets let alone be elected President.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you black women journalists for giving trump the opportunity to display his true colors on live TV.
Now let’s put our minds, heart and soul to work to get Kamala and other Democrats elected and save our country and our Democracy. Let’s spread the positive energy we all feel now. Let's do all we can as individuals and groups - donate, volunteer, join a local Democratic group, write on social media, send postcards, make phone calls, spread the truth, inspire others, GOTV, draw Venn diagrams, …
