Trump just showed up in front of an audience of Black journalists to woo them with his eloquence. He was supposed to be talking for an hour but his campaign manager yanked him after 35 minutes. Here's a snippet of how it was going...

@th3j35t3r

he can't handle it. it's a changed game now and donOLD isn't flexible enough to change.

his brain is calcified and unable to cope.

@holon42 @th3j35t3r

the words we're looking for that best describe the current position of DON OLD are:

"YOU CAN'T HANDLE
THE THE TRUTH!"

@QueenOfEverything

yeah, he's always gotten away with mouthing off, but now he's being held accountable for his words.

can't cope. insults are his reflexive response.

this time it's not going to work for him, but against him👌🏽🤣🤣🤣

He was never going to win them to his side. This was scheduled for one reason: Take the spotlight.

It's far more important for him to dominate the news cycle than win an intellectual argument. His supporters aren't "the sharpest tools in box."

The racist component is for his base, also.

He's not looking to win votes: he's looking to win the election. His only chance is through legal (and illegal) BS, supported by the corrupt "supreme" court.

@danalan @holon42

Great perspective... that also explains his opening comeback: “I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner. A first question... Are you with ABC, because I think they’re a fake news network, a terrible network. I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country, I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country.”

This was pre-scripted for him to offend intentionally.
