Trump & the Black Vote

[JerryBaumchen 1,445]

Hi folks,

For some reason, Trump appeared at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention to woo them to his side.

What a total failure.  

Donald Trump's appearance . . . was met with fierce backlash on social media, after the former president ranted off-topic 

 insulting the Black journalists who interviewed him, the MAGA hopeful also claimed not to know the race of his opponent

The idiot thinks that people actually like him, his rallies notwithstanding.

Talk about doing something stupid.

Trump thought Harris "was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden, she made a turn and she went, she became a Black person."

Up next - Trump is baffled when Pete Buttigieg starts out a white man then - BAM! - suddenly he made a turn and became gay!

The Harris campaign should just start taking short clips from this, and start running them as campign ads.

it's only going to get worse as we close in on the election.  Trump will blame JD Vance soon enough.  The only delusional senile old man left in the race.

Hi tk,

I look at this event as a good thing.  In other words, it is only going to get better.

“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,” Trump said.

My idea for a Harris campaign ad:

“He was always of White heritage. And he was only promoting White heritage. I didn’t know he was Orange until a number of years ago when he happened to turn Orange. And now he wants to be known as Orange,” Harris said.

I watched his entire diatribe. What’s great is that wasn’t any event. It was journalists - maybe Donald doesn’t understand what a journalist is? Because it’s going to get great coverage

The reporting in that story are different from this NYT report:

"Mr. Trump’s remarks prompted gasps and jeers from the audience at the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago. The former president’s combative appearance there was one of the most unusual of the campaign so far as he sparred with reporters over diversity efforts, repeated falsehoods about a range of subjects and told the group that he was “the best president for the Black population” since Abraham Lincoln."..." he called for “investigations” into the former president’s true birthplace and suggested Mr. Obama’s birth certificate was a lie....

“I came onto a stage like this and I got treated so rudely,” he complained at one point. Reporters in the room repeatedly scoffed as Mr. Trump made disparaging remarks

Hi Phil,

One would think the idiot would stay away from any non-FOX reporters as much as possible.

As I continue to say; he is his own worst enemy.

Trump's stupidity is always a given. I'm familiar with Washington Week. The very idea that he would sit down with a class of Black reporters then deny Kamala's heritage is the height of chutzpah. After all she has been VP for 3 & 1/2 years.

I assume he is merely writing off educated Black voters and looking for the MAGA Black voter. Someone who only listens to the right wing media space. That playbook worked in his first election and failed in his second. But like an old blind horse looking for a drink. He goes back to a well thats been dry for years, hoping it holds water now.

Now that Jerry has singlehandedly removed Biden and is quite respectfully allowing time to pass before supporting Harris after, well never mind, I just can not look forward to his crowing when Harris slams dunks the bastard. I just cannot wait.

He’s ultimately a spoiled 3 year old who has never been told no. Her opening statement was brutal and to the point.

A strong person would give a robust rebuttal, but he whined like a baby about how nasty she was. He didn’t even go on the attack and engage in the same level as her. Of course to attack with substance you have to have a spine and facts. 

A skill that politicians need is to be able to be equivocal. When Tony Blair was Prime Minister the BBC did a segment on his ability to be equivocal - he’s honestly the best I’ve seen, where both sides felt he was agreeing with them. He was able to say nothing with total conviction :) Donald, tried but failed dismally.

Hi Nigel,

Many yrs ago, I read that Blair was a student of the Bill Clinton School of Politics.

I think the writer was right.

Hi Joe,

Being cheap is subjective.  I will send her more this month.

Any Trump supporter who is not a white male needs psychiatric help.

White male Trump supporters just need moral and ethical adjustment.

 

IMO.

[billvon 3,078]

Trump has found a way out of this mess with black voters - by blaming the black journalists there.  It was their fault.

"The questions were Rude and Nasty, often in the form of a statement, but we CRUSHED IT!"
"Liberal Mainstream Media Malpractice!”
"Unhinged and unprofessional journalists!"
"Biased and rude treatment from certain hostile members of the media . . . their fake outrage.”

But you do have kids and grand kids and have thrown out your monetary support for their college educations. To be blunt you have a lot of skin in the game, owing to your gene legacy, and you are hoping that we who have less or none will pick up the slack. I did my weekly $250 just now. I also just now fired off an email to a grand niece asking if it was cool if I shorted this years $15K college fund contribution to support Harris. Maybe that will make reality a present thing.

So, your goal here was to make Jerry feel like shit because he spent his life helping family and is now on a fixed income.

Cause, ya know, nothing makes a man feel like a man by causing a young lady concern about her foundation. God forbid you forgo a bottle of wine on the yacht this week.
