I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can. My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.
He's not going away.
Haberman's book is out based on interviews. I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting. Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with. LOL
Quote
“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”
Trump is mentally ill. Holy heck, Trump was confused and was agitated while he told rambling lies. He was overtly rude to one of the women on the stage.

What do you think?
I watched the entire Q+ A: attack, attack, attack and hostile to an audience where one WANTS to get election votes. Only nice to Harris Faulkner/Fox + then complained couldn't hear her questions.

ANYBODY THAT HAS A JOB. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. ANYBODY THAT HAS A JOB. AND THEY ARE TAKING THE EMPLOYMENT AWAY FROM BLACK PEOPLE. THEY ARE COMING IN. THEY ARE INVADING. IT IS AN INVASION OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE, PROBABLY 70 MILLION..
Q: We're talking about people who were seen beating police officers and dragging them down the stairs on January 6. They're on video. You would pardon those insurrectionists?
Trump: You know nobody died that day. You do know that

Trump watched for 3+ hours police being attacked...
What a despicable person, not fit to be our 47th President.
It was crazy. At one point he said that lots of the journalists there were black. WHAAAT? Was he confused about the group he was addressing?
He projects his disqualifying character flaws onto others. "Nasty" indeed.

Too bad Harris didn't show up to add the conversation. ...
What a missed opportunity to discuss important issues regarding blk Americans issues in their community. A great chance to tell the potentially next POTUS up front and in person the areas that are most important to blk Americans. Instead it was a trick to get Trump there and used the opportunity to cast him a racist and to shrill for Harris. Just another example of how one sides uses blk Americans and exploit them for their vote.

" it was a trick to get Trump there"
"To cast him as a racist"
It sounds like you believe that Trump was a victim in that Q&A event. It reads like you believe that Democrats used black journalists to make Trump look bad. It's almost like you think that those black journalists have no autonomy or authority on their own and the DNC planned that whole event to make Trump look bad.

That's weird.
Victim? LOL
blk journalists that are democrats missed an opportunity to really help their community instead peddled race grievance. I'm not sure if they were democrats or not. I imagine they were.
The event was planned a while ago and it was also to include the democrat nominee. Harris didn't show up. There was no notificati9n to Trump that the democrat nominee wasnt going to be there. Truck in the literal sense? Maybe not, convenient? Absolutely.
"Weird"? This seems to be the new dem buzz word. All in sink with eachother. Apparently you got the memo as well? . I guess :Nazi" has played out?

Democrats' new line of attack on Republicans? 'You're being weird'
The democrats are the party that tell us that blk people are victims and need government handouts. Or that they cannot get ID to vote. Or special programs to get into college and universities. Parade around blk people as trophies of their inclusiveness.
Too bad Harris could'nt discuss all the blk men she put in jail for minor Marijuana crimes? Or her refusal to shorten prison sentences?

Maybe next time.........
Black journalists who are conservative missed an opportunity to help Trump demonstrate that he's not a racist and can discuss policy that might motivate blacks to vote for him.
So it wasn't a trick? Maybe the only reason Trump showed up was because he thought Harris would be there? Why else would Trump accept that invitation an attend that event, eh? Is that why Trump was so agitated during that Q&A... because nobody told him Harris wasn't going to be there? His team didn't confirm the specifics before putting him on the stage? Is that why Trump was in such a bad mood?
Yep. Trump is weird and his running mate is even weirder while they emulate the language, strategies and behavior of historical fascists and nazis. It's all true.
Harris is proud of her law and order focused personal professional history, as she should be. She talks about the reality that she's a prosecutor running against a felon on the regular. It's quite a contrast to the criminal heading up the self proclaimed party of "law and order", don't ya think?

The black 1 conservative on the panel didn't have a change to get a word in and the interview was dominated by 1 woman.
Well if Trump didn't show up it would be because he's.. .........racist of course.
So that leads to disingenuous intentions or potential trickery. Don't show up = racism
Show up= exploit racism, make Trump into a racist.
They were 30 + minutes late and seemed quite unorganized. Perhaps that's why Trump's team wasn't informed that Harris is a no show?
Apparently even the Biden administration at one time painted her as an "opportunistic hypocrite".
Quote
Eventually, her most memorable moment — her exchange with Biden in the June debate over busing for school desegregation — turned into a mess when Harris flubbed the follow-through. She offered a muddled, shifting answer that allowed Biden's campaign to paint her as opportunistic and a hypocrite
Quote
She pushed for programs that helped people find jobs instead of putting them in prison, but also fought to keep people in prison even after they were proved innocent. She refused to pursue the death penalty against a man who killed a police officer, but also defended California's death penalty system in court. She implemented training programs to address police officers' racial biases, but also resisted calls to get her office to investigate certain police shootings.
It's a shame she couldn't make it to clear this up for the blk voters. It's a shame the women on the panel didn't asks more important questions for the potentially next POTUS.

Trump did a question and answer with black journalists.
