Why Trump Was At the NABJ Today

Do not be fooled. Trump had no intention of being decent and answer questions in order to gain black voters.

He has all the votes he needs. He has no need to gain any voters. He was there to take the opportunity to be the center stage attraction. Remember, it is all about him. In one of his books, he says: "I am the show, and everyone else are props."

Today, the props were the black journalists.

Trump seized this opportunity to disparage VP Harris at every turn.

This was not about getting more votes for himself. It was about sewing seeds of doubt into those that may have considered voting for Harris.

I think you mean, he's locked in all the votes he was ever going to get. No one new will be voting for him on the strength of that.

@SW-User Most people are voting for her because of her identity. They certainly aren’t basing their support on anything other than that.

@Askeladd At the end of the day, I don't actually care. FAR more people are going to vote for her, than Trump :)

Deal with it.

@SW-User lol okay, Elwood.
He has all the votes he needs. He has no need to gain any voters.

Wrong.

And he sowed no seeds of doubt about his opponent, but he surely drove people from him.

@SomeMichGuy Trump told a group last week that he had all of tbe votes he needed to win. He didn't need more.

With this in mind, Donald Trump appears to have a counterintuitive rhetorical habit. The New Republic noted:

On Fox News Thursday morning, Donald Trump had a weird instruction for his supporters: they don’t have to vote. “My instruction: We don’t need the votes, I have so many votes,” Trump said on Fox & Friends before going on a rant about how much support he has in Florida.

If the phrasing sounded at all familiar, it’s not your imagination. The day after last month’s presidential debate, for example, Trump held a rally in Virginia and told attendees, “We don’t need votes.”

A week earlier, the Republican spoke at a far-right conference and said roughly the same thing. “I tell my people, I don’t need any votes,” said Trump, who added: “We don’t need the votes.”

@JSul3 Well, probably not for Florida, no. He's still comfortably ahead there, though less than when it was Biden.

"He has all the votes he needs."
Are you SURE about that?
Or are you just repeating exactly what he's saying?

@Ynotisay So....just another one of his lies?

When do you know when he isn't spouting mendacity?

@JSul3 I don't know. I asked you. Are you sure he has the votes or are you repeating what he said?

Trump is the Putin lover.

"Vote this time. You wont ever have to vote again!"

@sunsporter1649 I have no issue there.

How about that prisoner exchange done today by Biden and our allies with Putin?
The largest exchange since the cold war!
Alliances and friends matter.

Thank you President Biden! America and those families thank you!

There's an interesting article and video at the Daily Beast about Trump's appearance at the NABJ.

Look for it with these words - Al Sharpton: Trump Race-Slurred Harris to Rile up White Base
