Donald Trump attended a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, where he faced rigorous questioning on his past statements and actions related to black Americans. Despite feeling attacked by the manner of questioning, Trump highlighted his contributions, such as employment initiatives, Opportunity Zones, and support for historically black colleges and universities. He claimed to have done more for the black population than any president since Abraham Lincoln. However, questions about his past comments calling black district attorneys 'animals,' telling Congresswomen of color to 'go back,' and having dinner with a white supremacist were not directly addressed. Throughout the session, Trump deflected criticism by attacking the journalists’ credibility and changing the subject to his achievements.
