UPDATE 1 in comments: tRUMP is a POS racist and bigot
UPDATE 2 in comments: Trump interview at Black journalists conference
tRUMP has been vying for the black vote since 2015, and this has to be his most concerted effort ever. He has Tim Scott on his VP short list after all... *CRINGE* tRUMP says to his black audience that he was indicted for them and feels his struggles as a criminal with 91 criminal indictments means he is just like them… discriminated against… and that Biden is the racist and it gets even WORSE! (He has moved on from being like Nevalny, a martyr for his cause and Lincoln, who was shot)
"When I did the mug shot in Atlanta, that mug shot is No. 1,” he said, adding: “You know who embraced it more than anyone else? The Black population.” That the black audience clapped, laughed and cheered as though they were not the butt of tRUMP's racist jokes and were being mocked, is frightening. He made fun of Obama and told the audience they wanted a white president...
Although I am trying to boycott CNN I watched this clip and was astounded when the black tRUMP strategist tried to make a 'black men need trump speech (5:05)' ... as though what tRUMP says about them does not matter because he specifically will help black men...and hey, he identifies with us! Trump gets black people! But then, they played more of his racist "speech" and the tRUMP strategist mutters "oh GOD."

'That's the way he talks'
The black and white Daily Kos Dems have some words...
Previously on FOX:
“[Trump] somehow survives, which must drive his opponents crazy, because even the sneaker thing. I was on social media last night. Very interesting as you see Black support eroding from Joe Biden,” the Fox News co-host declared based on tweets he read.
“This is connecting with Black America because they love sneakers!” Arroyo added. “They’re into sneakers… this is a big deal, certainly in the inner city. So when you have Trump roll out his sneaker line, they’re like, ‘Wait a minute, this is cool!’”
Dear God! It is even worse in person!
If that makes black people vote for tRUMP, then the MAGA minion mental illness in America is worse than I thought. https://www.thedailybeast.com/fox-news-raymond-arroyo-says-black-people-will-vote-for-trump-because-they-love-sneakers
Reminder VIDEO 1989: tRUMP in an interview saying well educated black people have the greatest advantage for jobs… over a white person … and he says he wishes he were a black person to get the advantages tRUMP perceives them to have. WTAF? https://www.msnbc.com/11th-hour/watch/trump-in-1989-well-educated-blacks-have-an-advantage-over-whites-84805701889?cid=sm_npd_ms_tw_ma
The Republican party has barely moved from it's racism for the last 50 years... but they have hired black people to try to quash reality.
“You start out in 1954 by saying, “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can’t say “nigger” … So you say stuff like forced busing, states’ rights.” -- Lee Atwater RNC Chair, 1988. Atwater, Manafort and Stone… founded a firm together of dirty trickster slimeballs, 2 of whom are still undermining the USA and all it says it wants to stand for… and behind the scenes as a dirty trickster strategist firm they influenced peddled money from the newly formed HUD, but skated the charge! HUD was formed to help poor people get housing, especially black people. Ausio woth more here: https://youtu.be/X_8E3ENrKrQ
What has changed? You can replace Lee Atwater pandering to Al Sharpden and James Brown with CanDEATH Owens.
tRUMP’s lawyer Michael Cohen recalled tRUMP used to say about black people, Vanity Fair 2018: “Black people are too stupid to vote for me,” and suggested that all countries run by blacks are “s---holes,” Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen says in a new interview. “There’s no way I can let this black f-g win,” when referring to a black contestant on the reality show “The Apprentice.” “Only the blacks could live like this,” Trump once allegedly told Cohen when they were driving through a rough neighborhood in Chicago. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/11/michael-cohen-trump-racist-language
UPDATE 2
The not too distant past:
tRUMP has always sounded as though he wants to go back ... before Civil rights.

Misogynist and racist tRUMP on FOX implies that world leaders will walk all over Harris because of ‘how she looks.’ “She’ll be like a play toy,” he said. “They look at her and they say, ‘We can’t believe we got so lucky.’ They’re going to walk all over her. I don't want to say as to why,” Trump said. “But a lot of people understand it.” A campaign spokeswoman of course denied he was talking about her biracial identity or her lack of a penis. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/07/30/trump-harris-play-toy-comment/

Today felt like a culmination of the mountain of racism and bigotry coming to a head. He has become so emboldened that he obviously did not think he would get pushback, even from a group of black female journalists who tRUMP especially loves to demean. He was wrong...
Watch:
Trump speaks at Black journalists conference
Read:
After being well over an hour late and then demanding he not be fact checked, ABC's Rachel Scott starts an interview with tRUMP rather contentiously, asking some hard-line questions about his ACTUAL racist statements in the past. He called her nasty, his favourite word for any woman he views as disloyal to him and does not kiss the ground he walks on.
He falsely claimed VP Harris Harris, who has long identified as Black and attended a historically Black university, used to identify as Indian “She was always of Indian heritage,” Trump says of Kamala Harris, the first Black woman and Asian-American to serve as vice president. “I didn’t know she was Black.” and then, “all of a sudden, she made a turn, and she became a Black person.”
When tRUMP questions whether Harris passed the bar exam as tRUMP has been harping on her failing it the first time… “She passed it,” Scott says, which likely pissed off tRUMP as he asked not to be fact checked…
tRUMP talks about illegal immigration, pitting the Black population against immigrants. “People in this room and people outside this room are going to be losing their jobs to people who came into this country illegally,” he warned. The room is full of Black journalists. “What exactly is a Black job, sir?” ABC’s Rachel Scott says. “A Black job is anybody who has a job,” he says off the cuff nonchalantly… not understanding how ridiculous and racist he sounds.
When asked about many RW saying that Harris was a “DEI hire and will he set that record straight,” tRUMP asks several time what it means even after being told! When asked whether HE thinks Harris was a “DEI hire, “I really don’t know,” Trump says.
Kadia Goba, a Semafor reporter, asks tRUMP about police officer ‘immunity from prosecution’ that he has vowed to give police as he courts their vote, after the police shooting of Sonya Massey. Trump skirts an answer and Goba is presses for specifics as a good journalist should.
Trump’s interview ended abruptly as Harris Faulkner started to ask a question about Project 2025... https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-interviewed-national-association-black-journalists-convention-chicago/story?id=112435331
