@dystopian..

The guy said, as he took the stand, not the stage. Freudian slip of epic proportions.

@leemcclelland2618

Notice that the WAY he refers to black folks screams an attitude that thinks they are manipulable things. Thats genuine Trump. Thats what he is.

@russellcrea9701

Why didn't the news report include his comments that Black people like me because of my 91 felony charges?

@randypickett137

Everyone missed something very important about his speech. Trump is “woke”, he said that black people have been treated really bad in this country. He’s “Woke” and that’s what needs to be trending.

Most gangsta President in history, we all know he is being unfairly persecuted, just like people of colors, we need to help him!

@jerardjackson8329

We're those black men the black faces he could see when it was to much light in his eyes

@audiblechaos328

Well that was embarrassing. Both of the interviewees seemed like they didnt know what to say and were forcing their opinion out lol

@michael6362

Nobody showed up

@adahn1876

Funny how majority of the audience was white...

@darkgardenrecords9264

Cut the checks… while y’all still can.

@Ms_Sharpie

BCF...Trump probably thought he was speaking at the Buy Crappy Footwear conference.

@Shalom388

He has my vote I took the police on a high speed chase and I'm black and iam definitely buying his sneakers

@southendbos

Nauseating. That audience isn't smart enough to know they're being played and used.
