Donald Trump said he would “fire” the ABC News journalist who grilled him about his past comments during a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on July 31.
During his appearance on Adin Ross’s livestream on Kick on Monday, Trump was asked for his reaction to the event, which his campaign appeared to cut short by 30 minutes when it was clear that he led the session off the rails.
“This woman starts talking … about racism, and I said, ‘You didn’t even say hello to me,’ and I’m doing them a favor by doing this,” Trump told Ross on Monday. “I’m doing this out of respect to the Black community.”
Aww, poor widdle baby doesn’t own all of the media. 🥺
This may be a ridiculous statement, as are most he makes, but it’s still vital to recognize that what he’s saying is, should he make it back into office, he would do whatever he could to control the press. He’s already been on that since the beginning with his “fake news” bullshit.
Don’t get complacent. He’s dangerous.
“won’t someone rid me of this troublesome reporter?”
But we are lucky he’s so, so dumb.
