President Trump traveled to Chicago on Wednesday to deliver remarks at the National Association of Black Journalists conference.
Watch the interview LIVE:
The question and answer session began with a reporter accusing Trump of lying and attacking the Black community.
President Trump sat quietly and patiently as the host spoke. Then, as the crowd watched, Trump responded to the reporter’s accusations.
“Well, first of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump said, prompting applause from the audience. “You don’t even say, ‘Hello. How are you?’ Are you with ABC? Because I think they are a fake news network. A terrible network.”
Trump continued, “I think it’s disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the Black population of this country.”
He went on to highlight his accomplishments: “I’ve done so much for the Black population of this country, including employment, including opportunities….”
President Trump reiterated his frustration with the reporter, “That was such a rude introduction. I don’t know why you would do something like that.”
