Can't read the second part of the article because it's behind the paywall, but in terms of the question asked, I'm not clear why Kamala Harris has to respond. Other than to do what she did yesterday in her speech in Houston: "same old story" and "the American people deserve better than this" She has to play *her* game.... she doesn't have to play his, to the extent there's an actual strategy in anything he said.

We really do not appreciate the guy enough

For a senile old man, seems like he got a lot of **** done here

She deserves so much more than this...

https://apnews.com/article/trump-black-journalists-convention-nabj-1e96aa530e88013ed6f577feaf89ccb6 Comments from campaign staff in 2020... four years ago. Are we really debating this folks? Come on.

Maggie almost sounds sad that she didn't take the bait....

I honestly cannot believe we are having this conversation, but the reality is that it's only because of the need to engineer backward a response to something idiotic Donald Trump said. David Byrne said it best.... same as it ever was... same as it ever was...

He's being funny, but he highlights the main theme of the Trump era: Trump says something insanely stupid, something people who otherwise support him know deep down, is stupid... and then instead of addressing what he said head-on, they take what he said and work *backward* to engineer a convenient explanation of what he meant. It's happened so many times in the past years Isn't it old? Some people will support him no matter what, but for the rest of us, doesn't it get exhausting? Do we really want four more years of this ****?

Tariq doesn't care, so it's NBD

Any comment Tigeraholic?

The obsession these guys have with identity politics is almost pathological

Agreeing with what?

Maybe he speaks for a few, but the laughter in the crowd of NABJ members to the responses I heard speaks louder.

Meanwhile...

I don't know if he's a crazy Trumper or not. I don't particularly care. Do you think Tariq speaks for the entire community?

Do you feel that you know how all the black people feel?

This campaign has a weird obsession with identity politics. Strange ****

I would add that the previously scheduled debate that Trump has backed out of was set to take place on ABC.... and that in the course of this interview, he attacked Scott's colleague George Stephanopoulos, who was set to host the debate. Calls into question whether that debate will happen....

He's gotten a relative free pass from the press in this election cycle... The comments at the top where he attacked Rachel Scott and ABC were really striking.

The video... Worse than the quote itself imo

Yikes

NC being in play is no longer a myth

Beyond the weird angle, I do wonder whether Trump's age starts to become more of an issue going forward.... it was easy for him to duck those concerns with Biden in the race, but he now has an opponent who is much younger and more vigorous than he is. And who will likely outwork him on the campaign trail. He also just sounds like **** whenever he talks.... I saw a few clips of his appearance in Minnesota this weekend and a clip of him being interviewed by Laura Ingraham yesterday and he sounded like a drunk who was slurring his words. I know people will say that he's always sounded crazy, but he never used to come across like this in 2016 or 2020. We assume nothing matters with the guy, but IDK, I don't think the contrast in this current race does him any favors.

I agree, the focus on how Kamala Harris laughs and talks is definitely weird.
