The Media doesn’t have a clue.

Is this supposed to make Trump look bad, again?

LOL

It was awesome - Trump really called out the Black Caucus for refusing to meet.

This part was great. He told how he’d set up the meeting, but Keith wouldn’t return his calls...

In short, he asked if she wanted to be part of the solution, or part of the problem.

Yup, the Black liberal agitators got fried in this question. The reporter got stuned and beebered.

Exactly.

And if that reporter is smart, she’ll take him up on his offer let her mediate.

She was going for a gotcha moment, and he flipped it on her.

It left her speechless.

He added, that he had a planned meeting set up, and the Black Caucus person backed out.

Heh heh heh...

Egg meets face!

He asked a black reporter if she wanted to set up a meeting, because that black reporter asked if he would meet with the the congressional black caucus.

Did you read the CBC member’s tweets in the story? Same infantile racist BS you’d expect. The CBC is not interested in curing the problems of their constituents. What would a professional race baiter do for a living should Trump clean up the mess they’re largely responsible for?

That is exactly what Trump was doing. I was very impressed. He came up with it very quickly and honestly. Does she want to help?

I think she declined the task because she knows the Cong. Black Caucasians (as El Rushbo describes them) are a bunch of race hustlers who DO NOT want to SOLVE any race or black unemployment problems. They want to keep the problems, and bitch about ‘em.
