This is like something out of The Onion
Donald Trump is starting to fall behind in the polls and he’s starved for attention, so he decided to do a live interview with the National Association of Black Journalists. To say that it went poorly for him would be the understatement of the year. It’s not just that he came off terribly. It’s that it was so on the nose, it reads like a headline from a satire site like The Onion.
Trump got on stage with three Black female interviewers and an all Black audience, and tried to make the case that Kamala Harris isn’t Black. No really, this is what he did. Trump tried to argue that Kamala Harris is actually Indian not Black, and then he claimed that she only decided to become Black recently. Again, Trump actually said this. To Black interviewers. At a Black conference.
We’re about to see a lot of contrarian hot takes about how this debacle somehow helps Trump. It always happens whenever Trump really blows it. But the cold hard reality here is that this went so poorly for Trump, his handlers had to jump in and end the interview when it was barely half over, before Trump could make it even worse for himself. What we saw play out today will only serve to cost Trump votes. Now let’s run up the score.
