Here's the full exchange on the insane first question at the #NABJ convention by ABC's Rachel Scott....
Scott: "I want to start by addressing elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswoman of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like animal and rabbit to describe black attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a losers, saying the questions that they asked are, "stupid and racist." You've had dinner with a white supremacist at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So my question, sir, now that you were asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that?
Trump: "Well, of all, I don't think I've ever been asked the question so -- in such a horrible manner, first question. You don't even say hello, how are you? Are you with ABC? Because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network. And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of country. I've done so much for the black population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones with Senator Tim of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs and done so much. And, you know, and I say this -- historically black colleges and universities were out of money. They were stone cold broke, and I saved them. And I gave them long term financing and nobody else was doing it. I think it's a very rude introduction."
Scott: "Excuse me!"
Trump: "I don't know exactly you would do something like that. And let me go a step further. I was invited here and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden, Kamala, I was told my opponent was going to here. It turned out my opponent isn't here. You invited me under false pretense and then you said you can't do it with Zoom. Well, you know where's Zoom? She's going to do it with Zoom and she's not coming. And then you were half an hour late. Just so we understand, I have too much respect for you to be late. They couldn't get their equipment working or something was wrong."
Scott: "Mr. President, I would love you to answer the question on your rhetoric --"
Trump: "I would I think it's a very nasty question."
Scott: "-- and why you believe that black voters should trust you with another four years."
Trump: "Again why I have answered the question with another. I have been the best president for the black population since Abraham Lincoln. That's my answer. That's my answer."
Scott: "Better than -- better than President Johnson, who signed the Voting Rights Act?"
Trump: "And for you to start off the question and answer period, especially when you're 35 minutes late because you couldn't get your equipment to work in such a hostile manner, I think it's a disgrace. I really do think it's a disgrace."
Trump also pointed out that Kamala Harris has previously identified herself as Indian, until she decided to start pretending to be black.
Speaking of Kamala's "chameleon-like nature," Kamala is now lying about all of her far-left positions.
Or, as the lying Regime media puts it: She's "calibrating" her positions to appeal to a non-woke-California electorate.
AP first, then David Strom's commentary:
First, Harris is running for president while serving under President Joe Biden, meaning she's linked to anything that happened -- or will happen -- on his watch. She inherits accomplishments like limiting the cost of insulin but also the administration's struggle to prevent illegal border crossings.
Second, Harris has baggage from her own failed campaign for president before she became Biden's running mate four years ago. During that Democratic primary, she backed an array of progressive proposals that Republicans have highlighted to paint her as "dangerously liberal."
Harris has already disavowed some of her earlier positions, such as a ban on fracking and support for single-payer healthcare. And she's pledging to keep some of Biden's promises, including no tax increases on anyone making less than $400,000 a year.
See what Chris Megerian, the White House reporter for the Associated Press is doing here?
It's called "making s**t up" and asking us to eat the sandwich he puts it in. This isn't "calibration." This is the weird Vice President and Democrat candidate lying through her teeth and expecting us to believe it. And she is selling the lies using the brainwashing power of the weird mainstream media who have a weird fixation with Coconut Kamala.
Harris is claiming she's better on the border than Trump -- as she simultaneously disowns her role as Border Czar, and instructs her servile Regime Media operatives to deny she was ever Biden's "point person on immigration," as he called it when he announced he was putting her in charge of the border.
"I hope they run all their ads on immigration because it will remind the American people every time they turn on their television sets what a complete and utter failure this has all been," he said.
"I mean, if they were so proud of their record, why is [Harris] working so hard to erase all evidence from the internet that she was the border czar?" he added.

And speaking of shapeshifting lying grifters and paid Regime whores: You'll never believe this, but Super-Conservative Charlie "3-Wives" Sykes says that NeverTrumpers, who depend on funding from liberal billionaires to keep their mansions and yachts in good repair, find supporting ultra-liberal San Francisco radical Kamala Harris "remarkably easy."
I'll bet! The mortgage on a mansion ain't cheap!
Sykes writes in Regime Newsletter "The Atlantic:"
We�ll find out soon whether Never Trumpers can truly align around Harris, or if policy-related infighting will get in the way. Some Republicans may sit out the race in a cloud of above-it-all righteous irrelevance. But at least the staunchest members of the movement seem to be cohering around support for Harris. For Never Trumpers who have been in the political wilderness for nearly a decade now, this is not the time to quibble over tax rates, the Green New Deal, fracking, or pronouns.
These are "quibbles," Ultra-Conservative thrice-married Charlie Sykes says.
Harris is far from their first choice, but when your kitchen is in flames, you reach for whatever extinguisher is at hand. You can worry later about washing the dishes or whether you need a new garbage disposal. Put the fire out now.
