Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists - See the video.

If you’ve only seen snippets and soundbites of Trump being Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists, here’s a highlight reel. Playing the victim, attacking the people asking him questions, spewing lies, acting out — it’s all there. 

Trump and Vance are struggling with getting tagged as weird. Talking about wind turbines and whales, sharks and electric boats, yeah that’s weird. HIs hair, his use of heavy makeup — weird. Fake news about Vance and couches that nonetheless seems a bit too plausible to dismiss, given all of the stuff about him that’s true… weird and creepy.

I know it’s hard to watch him if you’re not a member of the cult, but this really needs to be seen as a counter to all the efforts by the press to normalize him. (The hard questioning he gets here is not something I recall seeing happen elsewhere.) He’s really flailing here — he can’t even defend his VP pick Vance. 

Watching this, it’s possible to realize that calling Trump weird is probably the nicest thing you can say about him.
