I'm clearly 77 years old and have probably been around a lot more black folks than most, since I did business consulting with all types of businesses, including black-owned ones. And every business I worked with had black execs, as many were military-industrial businesses.
You're likely right about a portion of the black men, but the opportunity at that event was the chance to influence black women.
Maybe he should have taken the Romney approach of sniveling and groveling? It worked so well for old Mittens.
I didn't say that, either. You can give a good strong answer without trying to turn the questioner into dust when you're trying to influence undecided voters.
Do you believe Trump ever uses too much ammo for any situation?
When an interviewer starts with 2 minutes of berating him and calling him a racist, his response was perfect. Everyone agrees how perfect it was. In the history of answers, it was the most perfect answer and everyone says so.

Democracy WAS almost lost on J6. I guess you like fascism and the end of the Constitution.

I know more about the issues than ANYONE voting for the OrangeTraitor
Your mental acuity is right on par with the other Dems on this board. You'll fit in nicely.
First thing you'll want to know is that your leader here is a guy named Thomas. He's originally from Ohio, but currently resides in Michigan. He holds an accounting degree from a distinguished junior college and is an expert on deductibles and the oil & gas industry. Oh, and if you want to get on his good side, send him a couple dozen donuts. He has a voracious appetite. You're welcome in advance.
You left off one of his area's of expertise. Everything. He knows everything.

I don't know why the ONE thing I pointed out that Trump could have handled better is getting so much pushback, probably from people who didn't even watch the whole interview live.
It was a good interview for Trump. He made a lot of decent points. The audience was engaged, both positive and negative at times. He did well, and certainly better than Kamala, who failed to show.
The only criticism I have is when the first questioner came at him with guns blazing, he could have responded in a way other than firing back and trying to obliterate her, and he went off into a diatribe about Kamala's blackness.
Also, he failed to answer maybe 5 other accusations the questioner made.
IMO, if he had kept the tone he had at the beginning of his RNC speech's first 20 minutes, JUST FOR THIS ONE QUESTION, I think he would have scored more points with the audience, which is not actually the NABJ, but the black population as a whole.
Instead, he fought fire with fire, and IMO, that works a lot, but not for every single moment. I just think a calmer response, and a more detailed answer about the actual topics brought up, would have disarmed the questioner. Pretty much like JD Vance did in the video above.
Instead, we now have this giant brouhaha about that one moment, which the leftist MSM is using to its advantage right now, and that deadens the message he put out for the rest of that event.
BTW, I didn't just see that interview with Faulkner on MacCallum's show, I watched Faulkner's entire hour show earlier today. She agrees with me about that one take. The question was rude and unfair, but Trump didn't help himself by firing back with an all out personal attack on the interviewer, and on Harris' blackness, while ignoring the other accusations in the initial question.

RE: National Assoc. of Black Journalists To Host Conversation With Trump
So, I just watched the interview. Trump didn’t bring his A-game, it’s true, but he’s no worse off, either. Better to show up and mix it up with a skeptical audience than to skip it entirely.
I’d guess that 95% of all Black voters (and more than 99% of non-Black voters) won’t watch that interview at all. But a lot of them know, or will know, that Trump showed up in person and faced the music, while Harris skipped out. Not bad and now on to the next thing.

I agree with that. I just wish he had cooled his jets on that one question, stayed above the fray, and not given the left a talking point that basically obliterated the rest of his message at that event.

No pushback from me brother against anything you said. I was curious what others observed who were at the convention. I didn't watch it live but I caught most of the highlights. The most interesting thing for me is the fact that Harris was also invited. Trump actually showed up unlike Chameleon Kam. He's not everyone's cup of tea but at least he gave an opportunity to be heard unlike the running coward in pantsuits.

How is this not a stfu comment, eric? I’d expect it from a Trumplet, but not from you. 3A is dead-on correct in this observation. (I know that it hurts him more than a little bit to hear this coming from, but that’s the price of playing.).
JD Vance just offered a masterful example of how to hit the important point without ANY unnecessary verbal splatter. I had not seen that clip, and am appreciative that 3A shared it. +3
No one expects Donald Trump to turn into Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy or JD Vance. He is, sadly, stuck in the “sub 80” camp when it comes to public speaking. But he’s been doing this long enough, and he asked for the chance to do it again, that he should be at least passable when it comes to dealing with the press.
I happen to think that DJT has improved greatly in this regard. I also happen the think that he has done more good than harm in showing up to the Black Journalists’ attempt at a political mugging.
But I also think that he’s got a long and treacherous road ahead of him. And pretending that he can just take a verbal whizz and not lose important ground is a false notion. Donald Trump needs to be at his very best at every appearance. And I think that anyone who supports him has a duty to speak up, not ignore it, when he is not.
B.t.w., I hope that this clip gets WIDE coverage. But you know it won’t. Why not? Because the press knows that if they wait just a day to two, Donald Trump will say something that gives them an easy excuse to bury it.

Its not a "stfu" comment because all I did was point out that he had basically repeated the same comment close to 40 times in 48 hours. It was a polite nudge to say "you might be over drilling your point here, we all get it".
I would never tell TripleA to "stfu" because I have a lot of respect for him as a poster. We agree on almost everything else and I enjoy and appreciate his posts. He's one of the best posters on the entire board.

RE: National Assoc. of Black Journalists To Host Conversation With Trump
What Trump did when Rachel asked the loaded question about Kamala is the reason people like him. There's not a Trump the politician and Trump the person personas. Trump is real.
Did anyone else hear the crowd during that answer? Some clapping some laughing but no booing why?
The reason is Trump just said what everyone else was thinking, especially black folks. Read X, look at Instagram, check out the independent podcasts or anywhere else you can read what the people's reaction was not something filtered through the white news media.
I look at Trump the same way I looked at Steve Spurrier when he was coaching at Florida. A reporter would ask,
"Coach why did you score 63 points on Georgia"
Steve would answer " Because we couldn't score 70"
None of the polite BS.
Look how the NABJ started. No pleasantries, just boom right into the attack questions. Heaven forbid a white guy respond in such a manner. Doesn't he know he's supposed to kiss our backsides and pander like Democrats do?
Something else interesting is if you read outside of legacy media you'll see they offered Kamala the same opportunity as Trump but she refused a live Q&A format, I wonder why.
