Former President Trump on Wednesday clashed with an ABC News correspondent at a convention of Black journalists, slamming her “disgraceful” questioning after she asked why Black voters should trust him with another term.
Yes, Trump, let the hate flow through you. Unleash your racism in a flood of glorious hate for all the world to watch on the television, and show the world who you truly are.
Outbursts of uncontrolled anger are a common symptom of alzheimer's/dementia beginning to degrade the prefrontal cortex and the brain's emotional regulation.
Yep. I have an acquaintance with early-onset Alzheimer's, and he has posted a lot about how emotionally disregulated he is. He's fine in writing but he has warned his friends that if they visit him in person, he won't be like they remember him.
“I think it’s a very nasty question,” Trump said. “For you to start off a question and answer period especially when you’re 35 minutes late … in such a hostile manner, I think it’s a disgrace.”
It's just his way of saying, "I'd rather not answer that."
This was also my take-away from a similar article I read earlier. Why not simple ask, "such as?" or, "yes, please remind the voters what you've done for Black Americans."?

•Trump passed a significant criminal justice reform measure, but his administration has worked to undo it
• Black employment gains before the pandemic were real — but not the result of Trump’s presidential term
• Trump’s claims on poverty don’t tell the full story of racial disparity
• The mechanism for funding HBCUs has very little to do with Trump
Trump does indeed deserve some credit with criminal justice reform. It's arguably the only good thing he did in four years. It's certainly nothing to give any credence to "best since Lincoln".
The First Step Act, which passed with overwhelming support from Republicans and Democrats, takes modest steps to alter the federal criminal justice system and ease very punitive prison sentences at the federal level. It affects only the federal system — which, with about 181,000 imprisoned people, holds a small but significant fraction of the US jail and prison population of 2.1 million.
Essentially, the law allows thousands of people to earn an earlier release from prison and could cut many more prison sentences in the future.
Can we even be certain that the criminal justice reform was not just his way of making things easier for himself, as a criminal who would eventually face justice?
Like during early COVID Trump was asked what he wants to say to Americans that were scared, he replied that the reporter was nasty or something similar. He can't handle any questions that are outside of his line of thinking.
The Forbes channel upload on this has some comments that reminded me it doesn't matter what he does or says... people just follow him blindly. What's the quote? About him shooting someone on a corner and not losing a single vote....
