Trump Takes The Stage In Chicago And Things Quickly Take A Turn As Ex-President Scoffs At Host’s Question

I cannot believe he openly behaved like that.

Scandal-plagued former President and Republican 2024 presidential nominee Donald Trump made an appearance before the National Association of Black Journalists in Chicago, where he was slated to be an hour-long question and answer session, only for Donald’s people to cut the exchange short at just a little past the halfway mark after the ex-president promptly made a fool of himself within just the first few minutes.

ABC News’s Rachel Scott opened the Q&A session by rattling off a disturbing laundry list of Donald Trump’s almost endless transgressions against Black and POC Americans, ranging from the obnoxious conspiracy theories about President Barack Obama’s place of birth to his infamous demand that certain American lawmakers “go back” to where they “came from” to his infamous meeting with one of the nation’s most notorious white supremacists at his Mar-a-Lago resort.

After airing out his dirty laundry, Scott simply asked, “Why should Black voters trust you?”

The former president effectively flew off the handle:

I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner. A 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. I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country, I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country.

I think it’s a very nasty question. For you to start off a question and answer period especially when you’re 35 minutes late … in such a hostile manner, I think it’s a disgrace.”

The NABJ conference Trump interview was moderated by three journalists: ABC’s Rachel Scott, Semafor’s Kadia Goba, and Fox News host Harris Faulkner, and sparked a lot of backlash from Black journalists.

Ultimately, Trump’s Q&A was cut off by his team at around the 30-minute mark after he had multiple outbursts and was even booed and jeered by the crowd.
