UPDATED:
Summary of Trump NABJ interview

Donald Trump’s NABJ interview shocked the audience and ended up being cut short, apparently by his team. Here are some of the things the former president claimed in the heated Q&A:

He claimed that he has been the “best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln,” adding that a “Black job” is “anybody that has a job.”

He questioned Kamala Harris’s ethnicity, saying, “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.”

He refused to condemned the white officer who shot and killed 36-year old Sonya Massey, a Black woman, in her home in Illinois, saying, “Sometimes very bad decisions are made. They’re not made from an evil standpoint.”

He repeated the abortion lie that Democrats are allowing abortions in the ninth month, saying, “They’re allowing the death of the baby after the baby is born.”

In response to what he would do on his first day in office, he said that he will “close the border” and “drill baby drill.”

Throughout the interview, which appeared to have been ended by his team after 40 minutes, Trump’s responses drew multiple gasps and shouts from the crowd.

[samnsara]

1. hes melting down in real time

[a kennedy]

2. HE DOESN'T ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS.......

He’s just doing his speech like always sitting down!!! He’s just walking all over them….

[WiVoter]

3. OMG They're Laughing At Him! Bwahahaha!

😂😂😂

[Trueblue1968]

18. The audience is also booing him. They boo his LIES.

He is an Evil Anti-Christ. #VoteBlue
#VoteHarris2024
#LockTrumpUp

[yardwork]

4. "I love the Black population of this country..."

Jaw dropping, even for Trump.

[TlalocW]

5. Well, we're done. It was a good ride

But Trump has now cornered one of the most important voting blocs that democrats have relied on. I don't see how we bounce back from this.

On edit: This is sarcasm.

[newdeal2]

8. ???

[nolabear]

9. ...

[2naSalit]

13. Been good to know ya...

[mucholderthandirt]

77. Not sarcasm, but what the media will say about the turd's performance.

[nolabear]

6. This is GOLD. He's bombing!

[Maru Kitteh]

24. So much GOLD. More shiny stuff than his hideous apartments. nt

[nolabear]

31. I'm sorry it's over. That was just insane!

I thought the audience was going to storm the stage.

[Maru Kitteh]

54. Nola, my blood pressure was positively stratospheric.

So maybe it's good that it's over?

[nolabear]

56. Tfg's people ended it early per MSNBC.

So they did you a favor. But I’m still laughing.

Breathe. 97 days.

[yardwork]

7. Also, "it's very hard for me to hear you..."

Are you deaf, Donnie?

[bluesbassman]

14. Well his ear was shot off by a RPG round.

And then when the 5"shells started hitting it really did some damage to his excellent hearing. Best in the history of hearing, everybody says so.

[Sky Jewels]

29. Yeah, he took that ear bullet for democracy!

What a patriot!

[Tadpole Raisin]

20. When he says stuff like that or says his standard line

‘I don’t know anything about that’ I suggest the comeback “That’s ok, I know you’re getting older and your hearing, memory is not as good anymore.”

Throw it right back at him!!

His throw away excuses will be turned into weaknesses and his ego will go wild.

I am evil.

[struggle4progress]

10. Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye

[malaise]

11. It is the women who should have walked out

That is all

[Tadpole Raisin]

12. He's freaking out about Kamala. He's freaking out

about Vance.

He’s freaking out about his followers pushing back on some of his posts.

And he’s freaking out about the increasingly likely scenario of jail.

I’m preparing for more rage tweets and a narcissistic collapse. Good!

[2naSalit]

15. Still got...

Spontaneous combustion open on my BINGO card.

Just waitin'.

[yorkster]

30. Funny one, 2na...

[lastlib]

58. Dung burns better after it dries out......

It'll be awhile, lots of liquid in that turd......

[2naSalit]

59. Yes...

But it's all volatile and combustible.

[lindysalsagal]

16. Looks like he's still there.....

[nolabear]

22. Walking out onto the stage, it means.

Everything after that has been a disaster.

[Arne]

17. Did trump turn a deeper shade of orange?

Is he about to pop a valve?
Were they actually laughing?
Do I have to tune in next time?

[yorkster]

21. Fixin' to blow...

[Gaytano70]

70. Probably pooping

[yorkster]

71. Oh gawd noooooo.

😳

[Sky Jewels]

19. Another great day for Trump campaign!

[Different Drummer]

23. Margaret Hamilton said it best.

[Sky Jewels]

33. "What a world! What a world! What a world of nasty, uppity, fresh, rude, DEI-hire journalist broads!"

[CanonRay]

64. Is that really a quote from him?

[Sky Jewels]

67. No, but he has used most of those descriptors against Black women.

I don't know for sure about "uppity," and I'm only assuming he'd use "broads" because he's an old sexist pig. Of course, we do know that he has definitely used the "n" word.

Fucking scumbag. I don't have the words to express how much I despise him.

[onenote]

25. He did exactly what he intended to do: show his supporters that he stood up to the Blacks.

He wasn't there to get Black votes. That ship has sailed. It was to show his racist supporters that he isn't afraid of those uppity Black journalists.

[JohnSJ]

39. Exactly. The white racist vote.

[Girard442]

41. Yup. Harvesting sound bites to show the MAGATs how mean "they" are to him.

[Spazito]

51. Catering to his racist base isn't going to get him more votes...

and he does need more votes than his racist, homophobic, misogynistic base so this is not a win for him in the big picture, imo.

[yardwork]

63. Ok, he already has the white racist bloc.

Supposedly he's been trying outreach to Black voters, and he appeared to be getting some traction with Black men. I doubt this will help.

[Faux pas]

26. Do the

adult diapers he wears keep his pants from spontaneously combusting? Asking for the world.

[MaryMagdaline]

27. She called him "Mr President!" That's unwarranted respect

[HAB911]

28. NO ONE can divert a fire hose of shit

NO ONE

He should never have been given the platform

[nolabear]

34. They don't seem to have any coherent plan.

Or maybe there’s no “they” and he just does what he wants.

[Xavier Breath]

57. Yeah, it's kinda like being the second team to invite Roseanne to sing the anthem.

You know what you're going to get.

[a kennedy]

32. Now all he's doing is giving his stump speech sitting dow.....that's all it is.

WHY DON’T THEY INTERRUPT AND JUST SAY YOU DIDN’T ANSWER THE QUESTION!!!

[Sky Jewels]

38. I could be wrong, BUT

I really don't think this appearance is going to be portrayed as a W for the Trump team. His sexist-racist mouth diarrhea is not going to win him anymore voters and will probably just add fuel to the ever-growing fire of opposition that will engulf him in November.

[Johnny2X2X]

35. So

Even beforee Kamala was in the race, and even going back to 2020 and 2016, I always said, get Trump to talk about race, he's completely incapable of doing so without looking like a racist buffoon. And now he is running against a black woman, he is going to continue to look this way over and over and the Dems should force him to talk about race over and over.

[Charmin One]

50. Missed it

What sort of racist, sexist stuff did he say?

[obamanut2012]

52. MIRT

[SunSeeker]

68. Well, for one thing, he said Kamala wasn't black, she's "Indian."

How could you miss that??!!


The whole audience booed and jeered.


But not you, obviously.

[flying_wahini]

36. Love it Love it Love it

He needs to be laughed out of every single venue.

[JohnSJ]

37. He isn't doing this to court the black vote, he is doing this to court

the white racist vote.

[Sky Jewels]

40. Pretty sure he already had that one wrapped up.

[JohnSJ]

43. Closeted independents, also to get attention.

[Sky Jewels]

45. But he probably turned off a whole lot more independents than he brought into his Klan fold.

[JohnSJ]

49. I hope so.

[lpbk2713]

42. Doing his best Rodney Dangerfield impression ...

"I'll tell ya, I don't get no respect."

[Sky Jewels]

46. "And what's with these broads, huh?

[skylucy]

44. Definitely OFF THE RAILS!

[Bundbuster]

47. He is a 24-7-365 meltdown

[Renew Deal]

48. That is wild

[mindfulNJ]

53. Please proceed!

[Wednesdays]

55. To paraphrase what David Letterman said to Dubya,

"You're winning friends left and right, Governor."

[bullimiami]

60. Going there was a arrogant stupid move.

[Initech]

61. He talks so much shit that he's literally run out of shit to say!

[agingdem]

62. if we're being honest

this was Trump's reckoning..a reckoning equivalent to Biden's debate disaster...Trump steamrolled the panel with lies, insults, overt racism, and multiple character attacks on the presumptive Democratic nominee for president...but unlike the debate, the media reception was one of revulsion...what a difference ten days make!...

[Cirsium]

65. Stop

Journalists should stop giving this extremely dangerous person a platform.

We all should stop seeing the results as entertainment.

10+ times a day we hear about Trump "melting down" or Trump embarrassing himself or Trump saying ridiculous things. MUST SEE TRUMP MELTDOWN THIS IS A DISASTER TRUMP IS TOAST. Seriously? All fun and games is it?

NABJ is an advocacy organization supporting Black journalists. Trump is openly hostile to journalism, let alone to Black journalists. The very first words out of his mouth expressed utter contempt for the questioner, the media, journalism, et al, while he portrayed himself as the beleaguered victim. WTF?

Trump has nothing new to say, nothing of value to offer. He is a threat. He is deranged. How many times do we have to hear the same absurd narrative? Giving him a platform lends legitimacy to him. Treating his antics as entertainment trivializes the dire threat he represents. Using him as clickbait or for ratings is morally depraved.

[SunSeeker]

66. What a shit show. They let him lie and lie and lie, and they called him "Mr. President."

And they let him him get away with not answering questions, just like the debate. I am so sick of this shit.

[servermsh]

69. Correct!

This was terrible for Trump. It is not 2015 anymore, when the networks were unprepaed. This doesn't generate new voters for him.

[UCmeNdc]

72. Trump is not ready to be President. He is the worst.

Just look at how foolish he is. Trump talks like an uneducated man. Trump argues to hide his lack of knowledge.

[ecstatic]

73. so, in trump's mind, black people work jobs that random insane asylum

discharges or escapees can "steal" when they illegally cross over into the US?

And also, trump's comments about the importance of selecting a VP were yet another confirmation that trump is extremely self-centered and reckless. For a 78 year old fat and unfit presidential candidate to say the VP choice doesn't matter and has no impact? No words. That's a seriously dumb comment.

[Skittles]

74. I think it is awesome

that Trump's blatant performances for the cult are now just more evidence of just how racist, misogynist and fucking WEIRD he is

[FlyingPiggy]

75. Wow. That is horrific. He's so used to soft lobs & kid glove treatment, he doesn't know how to respond in neutral

Environments. It’s so sad. He tries to do his usual bullying and is being laughed at.

[Blue Owl]
