Donald Trump‘s appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists’ annual convention in Chicago Wednesday was meant to be controversial but it hit the rock bottom with the very first question when ABC’s Rachel Scott asked the former president why Black voters should trust him after how he had attacked Black journalists earlier calling them ‘losers’, ‘stupid’.She termed it as the “elephant in the room” after thanking Trump for his time and reminding him that a lot of people thought Trump should not be there at the convention.
“First of all, I don’t think I have ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, the first question. You don’t even say Hello! how are you? Are you with ABC? Because I think they ae a fake news network and a terrible network. And I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country. I have done so much for the Black population of the country, including employment…” Donald Trump said.

“It was very rude introduction,” the former president said adding that he was invited to the convention under a false pretense that his opponent — whether Biden or Kamala — would be here. “And I don’t see my opponent here,” Trump said.
“I have been the best president for the Black population since Abraham Lincoln,” Trump said.

ABC’s Scott, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner and politics reporter Kadia Goba of Semafor interviewed Donald Trump at the convention.
‘Is Kamala Harris Indian or Black’
On a question on whether Trump supports the Republican term of referring to Kamala Harris as a DEI hire, Trump said, “How do you define DEI?” He had a small altercation after the journalist said DEI stands for diversity, equity and inclusion and Trump wanted a full definition. Then Trump was asked whether he thought vice president Kamala Harris was only on the ticket because she is a Black woman.
“I have known her for a long time indirectly, not directly very much. 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.
“So I don’t know, is she Indian or is she Black?” he went on. “She was Indian all the way, and all of a sudden, she made a turn and she became a Black person.”
‘What is a Black job’

Trump said addressing the Black journalists that millions and millions of people across the border are trying to take Black job. On being cornered to explain what a Black job is, Trump said anybody with a job is a Black job. “They are taking the employment of the Black people. This is invasion,” Trump said adding that Kamala Harris is allowing it to happen.
