During a question and answer panel at the National Association of Black Journalists conference in Chicago, former President Donald Trump responded to inquiries about why Black voters should trust him despite his past controversial remarks and associations.
When asked about his past racist comments towards members of congress, political rivals like Nikki Haley and Barack Obama, and his previous connections to racist elements within the MAGA movement, Trump defended himself by stating that he had never been asked a question in such a negative manner before. He also criticized the questioner for not greeting him properly and accused the network of being fake news.
Trump expressed his love for the Black population of the country and claimed to have done significant work for their benefit. His comments were met with mixed reactions, with some expressing disappointment over the organization's decision to invite him for an interview.
The National Association of Black Journalists faced criticism for their choice to host Trump, with prominent members publicly voicing their concerns about the decision.
