Maybe they're playing to fuck him up by asking proper, unscripted questions?

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
i think someone in the article put it best
If a super conservative white woman can’t get straight answers out of him, what makes you think that three black women are going to get them?”
It's still a true journalists job to try
Can't think of many true journalists in corporate media.
But I bet they can find a way to get him to say the N-word in front of a bunch of journalists if they try.
They're legit trying to get him to freak out and yell the racist sexist shit that's scrolling through his head all day.
Remember, he doesn't like nasty questions. Like : "What do you say to Americans, who are watching you right now, who are scared?"
This doesn't work. I hope they're not naive enough to think that'll work. It doesn't even matter what happens there. All Trump and his team want is the victory of him appearing there. They want the photo opportunity, they want the headline, they want to be able to say look the blacks love us. And they know nobody in their base is going to question it. They also know the vast majority of Americans won't check into the actual events
I Have A Dream
Important context for any here who might not read the article:
The outcry led to the NABJ president, Ken Lemon, and others defending the decision, saying that Black reporters should have the opportunity to question a political candidate.
“Every year, every presidential election cycle, we invite the presidential candidates to come,” Lemon said to NABJ student journalists on Tuesday. “We extend that to anyone who is a nominee and in this case we have two presumptive nominees. We invited both of them … This is an important hour. We have people whose lives are depending on what happens in November … This is a great opportunity for us to vet the candidate right here on our ground.”
It's the constantly giving him a platform and not pushing back on his BS. But a quick google confirms that pretty much all candidates have spoken except tRump until now. He skipped it last time.
Kamala should say yes, as well, with a tweet (ugh) that says "Any time, any place."
Ask him his favourite Bible verse.
The word "trump" never appears, so he's never read it.
‘It puts everyone in a really bad position’
Sounds like something you could say about nearly anything the man has done that impacts anyone other than himself.
Personally, I understand their concerns, but I also think in the end it's just going to be a good opportunity for Trump to show his ass and then strut around like he's done something we should all be impressed by. (as usual)
If he can refrain from saying the N-word I'll be mighty impressed.
I think he'll manage that, but I wonder how many times he will mention "the blacks" or "the coloreds." I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear a "you people" or two.
