At NABJ event, Trump lights his outreach to Black voters on fire

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : What's more, there was some polling evidence that suggested those efforts were paying off, and Trump was poised to fare better in communities of color in 2024 than any other modern GOP nominee.
51% : Indeed, it didn't come as too big of a surprise when the former president's aides pulled the plug on the appearance and Trump left the stage before the end of his scheduled appearance -- though he continued to go after Harris' identity in the hours that followed the event.
45% : The larger question isn't whether Trump is relying on racism -- again -- to advance his quest for power, because the answer is obvious.
39% : "I've known her a long time, indirectly," Trump said, referring to the Democratic vice president.
35% : As The Washington Post's Colbert I. King summarized in his latest column, "As offensive as all that was to the Black men and women staring in his direction, Trump knew it was getting a belly laugh with his crowd, who can't get enough of that stuff.
28% : But after the GOP nominee actually started speaking, Trump not only made matters far worse, he also validated the concerns of those who warned the NABJ that it was making a mistake by giving him a platform in the first place.
27% : "Common sense suggests Trump did not earn any support yesterday from communities of color, but by all appearances, they weren't the intended audience for his offensive antics.
21% : Trump expects voters to believe that the vice president "happened to turn Black," which is every bit as wrong and offensive as it seems.
19% : Trump concluded, "Is she Indian or is she Black?"The unscripted comments were obviously racist.
