Donald Trump addressed a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists Wednesday where he was asked to explain his earlier words about “Black jobs.” His answer didn’t clear anything up.
Trump was initially asked by Fox News’s Harris Faulkner, who sat on the panel along with Rachel Scott of ABC News and Kadia Goba of Semafor, what his message was at the event. He began by talking about the so-called crisis at the U.S. southern border.
“A lot of the journalists in this room I know and I have great respect for, a lot of the journalists in this room are Black,” Trump said, drawing laughter from the audience. “I will tell you that coming from the border are millions and millions of people that happen to be taking Black jobs.”
“What exactly is a Black job, sir?” Scott asked him.
“A Black job is anybody that has a job. That’s what it is. Anybody that has a job,” Trump said to more laughter from the audience. “They’re taking the employment away from Black people.”
Don’t link to X.
You mean Twitter.
He deadnames Vivvy; we deadname Birdsite. Thems the brakes.
They should have kept pushing him on the “black jobs” question.
They should have kept pushing him on everything. He got away easy time and again by shouting and antagonising and talking over the interviewers.
They should have pused him off the stage.
We know what should be done.
Just do the math and have him answer.
“If a black job just means employment isn’t that just a job.”
Trump:
1.) “Yes”
Follow up:
“Then why say Black Job?”
2.) “No”
Follow up:
“Then what is a black job”
It’s all fruitless anyway, he will meander directly into talking about how immigrants “are bad.”
The dood is weird. I’m telling you.
I suppose he could have tried to say it was any job done by a black person. That might have gotten him out of that.
