Trump offended his Black audience. Mistake or part of the plan?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Sadly, that tactic is proving just as effective today as it was in the 1990s, and Trump is attempting to capitalize on it in the hopes of peeling off even a few Black votes.
48% : Here's the recap: Trump did a panel interview at the National Assn.
48% : "Trump was furious, and later told CNN, "There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.
36% : But Trump has made it clear that he doesn't like women who challenge him, whatever their race.
33% : First, Trump has updated his favorite "invaders" line with a new threat -- immigrants are now stealing "Black jobs" (and even "Hispanic jobs").
33% : "I've known her a long time, indirectly, not directly," Trump said.
32% : Andra Gillespie, a political scientist at Emory University, told me that Trump is trying to tap into the reality that there is concern in the Black community about the border -- a concern that is nothing new, but often overlooked.
32% : But Trump still owns the rhetoric (along with the implication that "Black" jobs are unskilled labor).
27% : Because Trump isn't out of control.
20% : Before he showed up on stage, there was controversy among Black journalists about whether Trump -- with his long and documented history of racist remarks and lies (think "fine people on both sides") -- should be platformed at the Chicago event.
14% : OK, on to Trump and that insane interview at the National Assn.
11% : At best, Trump was grabbing headlines that in recent days have slipped out of his grasp, with Harris and even his vice presidential nominee, J.D. Vance, stealing a spotlight he loathes sharing, Hancock said.
