No, they won’t. Those people are disingenuous, at best. How about the crowd cheering him when he calls out their bullshite? There’s two sides to every coin, and the people you’re worried about weren’t voting for him anyway.

Whenever he does something like this, a while lot of names I don't recognize suddenly show up to tell us they love Trump and think he made a mistake.

Whenever the concern trolls emerge, he's right on track, guaranteed.

He had done so well up to this point to remaining calm and reasonable/middle road to independents. The clips that will be blasted all over the net from this will hurt him with the group he needs to win.


How can anybody who's paid any attention to the news cycle of the past 8 or so years, really think anything he said here is going to even be any sort of story at all by the end of tomorrow?

Has anyone been declared "weird" TODAY?

The "black vote" is a completely overrated red herring outside of really two swing states: Georgia and North Carolina where the black population is 33% and 24%, respectively. In the other swing states there simply aren't enough black voters to overcome white voters...if the white voters overwhelmingly supported a candidate. In Michigan the black population is 16%. 11% in Pennsylvania and Nevada. 7% in Minnesota and Wisconsin. 6% in Arizona.


Incredible how the media makes a tiny minority seem like the majority and it almost seems like gives them the power of the majority.

The Hispanic population has overtaken the AA population.

Asian population will overtake AA population in the next decade.

That’s the point. Trump does not have to win the day; he just wants to peel off 15% or 20%. That wins the election.

The problem is typically that black voters go Dem at something like a 95% clip, meaning a 19-1 vote advantage for every 20 blacks turned out.


May not make the complete difference in a national race but it sure gooses the Dem numbers significantly if they are bussing black to the polls.

Black people only make up 13% of the population. I'd be surprised if even half come out and vote. They help in a few swing states. I think Trump will get 15-20% of the black vote. I also think he can get down to 10% yet still win the election. Hispanics (even though I think pandering like that is pathetic) is where it's at, as far as minorities. Trump does much better with hispanics.

I have to agree with you. There’s nothing that he can say or do that’s ever gonna change their perception of him….you hate him or like him….that’s just the way it us.

Waste of time. The black vote isn't winning or losing him this election.

Today did nothing but hurt Trump because it will produce news clips for white women to be told how bad he is.

He really should fire whoever is in charge of his campaign. He's constantly on the defensive.

He won 2016 by doing exactly this. The country is tired of the lack of transparency. Biden or Kamala haven’t done anything like that interview in the last 4 years.

When Trump goes on offense, he wins. The people are tired of weak leadership

I heavily disagree. If he can get black men to wake the hell up enough to start taking 20-25% of the vote, it completely changes the dynamics of this election.

To go up there, unprepared for what his team should have known they were going to throw... Not having pre-packaged responses


"Yeah, I've made comments, but my comments were never about the race of a person, they were about the individual person and their actions"

"On the flip side, why don't you ask the same question of your dem overlords... Do you remember when Biden called blacks super predators or when Kamala laughed about locking up blacks in California for low class drug charges and smoking weed herself.... When I on the otherhand helped commute many drug sentences while in office"


Would have shut them up with those two responses...

Vivek has been talking with trump.. absolutely loved how he turned the DEI question back to the reporter and she seriously could not answer it - that’s 100% Vivek

Man that's what makes Trump who he is and why his voters love him. It started with calling out the Republican party in 2016, then the media. Black people (along with everyone else) have been way more successful in every category under Trump than Obama or Biden/Harris. He's just calling it like he wants to, no pandering. The people that scream at the sound bites were never going to vote for him. Many will watch the entire interview and agree with much of what he says. I didn't like the way he answered every question either, but I never do.

the moderator never gave a definition of DEI just what the accronym stood for.

I was soooooo hoping he would repeat "You kept me waiting 35 minutes. However, I will extend you the courtesy of taking all the time you need to define it for me. Please take your time."
