"Not knowing how to attack a Kamala Harris, Trump appears to be melting down."

"This is a picture worth a thousand words of Donald Trump standing clueless on stage in Chicago at the National Association of Black Journalists after one of his campaign handlers had told ABC Newscaster Rachel Scott to end the event early."

“VP Harris has Trump on the ropes. He will never debate her because he’s scared of her because he knows she will mop the floor with him.”

"The photo shows Scott, in blue and two other Black journalists who were on the panel questioning Trump leaving the stage as Trump is left staring silently at the audience, which was hostile throughout. ...

Reports from Washington have said that the Trump campaign has tried to steer him away from attacking Harris on the basis of her race and gender.

That went out the window in Chicago today."

"While it’s tempting to believe that there’s a method behind Trump’s madness, this seemed to me like little more than desperate flailing from a guy who thought the presidential election was in the bag two weeks ago but now feels it slipping away along with his polling lead."

"Based on social media posts and statements by Trump surrogates, it is clear the campaign believes that focusing on Kamala Harris’s racial identity is a winning strategy. Only a white billionaire living in a bubble of sycophants would believe that strategy will increase his chances of election."

"Going up against a Black woman brings out the absolute worst in Trump. Hopefully Americans are smart enough this time to see his crude racism and misogyny for what it is. He’s certainly not disciplined enough to hide it."

The headline for Inae Oh and Julianne McShane's report at Mother Jones on Trump's appalling behavior at NABJ neatly sums things up:

"White Man Tells Black Journalists His Black Opponent Is Not Black"

"He also can’t grasp how a daughter of an Indian mother and a Black man can self-identify with two races and be recognized and celebrated as such by a diverse, multicultural American in which nearly 34 million people are now biracial.

When you’re all out of juice, you have to resort to what’s worked in the past. For Trump, that’s racism. He’s a one-hit wonder."

"Trump, a privileged white man, told a crowd of Black journalists that a Black-Indian woman running for President wasn’t really Black because she also identifies as Indian and then, somehow, only turned Black for the sake of opportunism even though she went to a historically Black college and pledged at a Black sorority. Apparently, he hasn’t met anyone biracial."

"Anyone in the press who said Trump had changed and become more serene and unified after his assassination attempt must resign. Please, just leave this profession. Find money and influence elsewhere. Also, anyone who remains in this profession, please finally pay attention to Trump and learn from your colleagues’ mistakes. This is what and who he is."

Remember Natalie Allison telling us he has a "new softness" and is spiritual now? I remember.

"This NABJ interview is a great example of why the people who demand that we deplatform Trump are wrong. People should see this! A grumpy, cruel, hard-of-hearing, race-baiting, asshole having to actually answer for his track record in an environment outside of his comfort zone."

As Nicole Lafond and Emine Yücel note, when Kamala Harris began her run, Republican leaders in Congress put out a memo urging GOP folks not to attack Harris on grounds of race or gender.

But no one seems to have given Trump that memo, as Lafond and Yücel demonstrate by highlightling what Trump said at NABJ yesterday.

"The only authentic truth for Trump is whiteness. White Christian people are the only ones who are entitled to real selves, which means they define who is and is not real. Trump is the fascist leader embodying the white volk, which means he’s entitled to define everyone else."

"Harris looks like his worst nightmare: a former attorney general of California in heels, slick, telegenic, with a corporate image and politics that have been largely in the centre – so that when Trump says 'She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country,' he sounds ridiculous."

"And while Harris has, to date, not been a particularly assured politician, she seems to know instinctively how to handle Trump. With a smirk that does more work than all of Clinton or Warren’s earnest attempts to debate him, Harris meets Trump at the demotic level and states the bleeding obvious: 'These guys are weird.' It works because it’s true, but also because she’s doing the thing Trump hates above all other things: she’s laughing at him."

"The campaign knew it was a disaster before it was even over. What was supposed to be an hour-long question-and-answer session was abruptly cut short by Trump’s campaign after just 34 minutes—'an indication of how much of a train wreck it was for him,' tweeted Axios reporter Sophia Cai, 'and also how good the questioning was.'”

"The media has done a great job overlooking Trump’s statements and cherry-picking one reasonable thing he said out of a pile of excrement proves he’s a changed man. But they’re really going to have a hard time with this one."

While Donald Trump has relied on Fox News and an army of MAGA Media loyalists to endlessly shield him from scandal after scandal, Biden had no such defenses in his arsenal when serious questions were raised about his age and mental acuity. ...

Contrast how the news media covered Biden's woes with how the MAGA Media has treated Trump in recent years."
