Donald Trump is renowned for his tenacity and refusal to back down in the face of adversity. His staunch resolve was on full display during a recent encounter with an antagonistic interviewer.
At the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, ABC’s Rachel Scott confronted Trump with an acrimonious question: “Why should black voters trust you?” But as always, Trump didn’t just answer the question, he delivered a powerful response that went far beyond what was asked.
Greg Price, spokesperson for the conservative group State Freedom Caucus Network, praised Trump’s response as “masterful” on social media platform X. It’s clear that Scott’s aggressive questioning was nothing more than a smear attempt — but Trump handled it masterfully nonetheless.
“First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said.
“You don’t even say, ‘Hello, how are you?’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they’re a fake news network …”
Trump then answered the question by citing his first term when unemployment among black Americans hit historic lows, “opportunity zones” were implemented to revitalize inner cities and vital funding was found for historically black colleges and universities.
These accomplishments during Trump’s tenure are undeniable facts that the mainstream media refuses to acknowledge. Despite their significant impact, these achievements go unnoticed by many, especially those leading black groups such as the HBCUs.
Trump further criticized Scott’s confrontational approach, calling it a “very rude introduction.” It’s clear from this exchange that Scott’s questions were not based in an unbiased search for truth, but rather aimed at character assassination — an attempt as deliberate and premeditated as the attempt on Trump’s life in July 2020.
The real question is not why black voters should trust Donald Trump; it’s why any American voter should place their trust in the establishment media. The answer to that is painfully obvious — and nobody knows it better than Trump himself.
