Trump’s Unwavering Stance Against Media Bias
Donald Trump, the former president, is well-known for his tenacity and refusal to back down in the face of adversity. His recent engagement with ABC’s Rachel Scott at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago was a clear demonstration of this trait. Scott posed an aggressive question to Trump, but he didn’t just respond – he stood his ground.
“Why should black voters trust you?”
This was the provocative question Scott directed at Trump. However, the ex-president didn’t just provide a simple response; he delivered a comprehensive answer that exceeded what was asked.
Trump’s Response Earns Praise
Greg Price, a spokesperson for the conservative group, the State Freedom Caucus Network, lauded Trump’s response as “masterful” on social media platform X. When you grasp the context of Scott’s questions and realize it was an attempted smear campaign, you might even consider Price’s praise as an understatement.
“First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner,”
Trump then proceeded to answer Scott’s question by highlighting his accomplishments during his first term: record-low unemployment rates among black Americans, revitalization of inner cities through “opportunity zones,” and securing crucial funding for historically black colleges and universities. These significant achievements often go underappreciated by mainstream media.
Addressing Scott’s Hostile Approach
“I think it’s a very rude introduction,”
Scott’s points weren’t entirely baseless, but they were so blatantly biased that they amounted to an attempted character assassination. The “congresswoman of color” reference pertains to a 2019 post by Trump on Twitter where he criticized the political opponents known as the “squad.” The “black district attorneys” Trump mentioned were Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and Fulton County, Georgia, DA Fani Willis, both of whom abused their authority to bring baseless criminal cases against Trump.
As for the “black journalists” Trump allegedly called “stupid and racist,” they were Abby Phillip of CNN, April Ryan of The Grio, and Yamiche Alcindor of PBS, three journalists known for their radical leftist views. Trump’s criticisms weren’t about their skin color but their politics, misuse of political office, and blatant violations of professional integrity.
Accusations and Clarifications
Scott also accused Trump of dining with a “white supremacist” at Mar-a-Lago. However, the dinner was intended to help Kanye West, and Trump claimed he was unaware of the other attendees’ identities. Trump knew the truth behind Scott’s accusations and wasn’t about to let her tarnish his reputation. His response was more courteous than it deserved given the polemic nature of Scott’s questioning.
Mainstream media outlets like Politico and CBS painted Trump as the aggressor in their headlines. But anyone with open eyes knows that Trump entered a challenging arena and stood his ground against an antagonistic first question.

Final Thoughts
The real question isn’t why black voters should trust Donald Trump. It’s why any American voter should trust anyone in the establishment media. Trump once again proved his strength as a leader by confronting the biased media and defending himself.
He highlighted his significant achievements for the black community, such as record-low unemployment rates and support for historically black colleges and universities – accomplishments often ignored by biased media coverage.
The hostile nature of the media should concern all Americans, regardless of their political beliefs. Trump’s bold response to Scott’s question shows he won’t back down, and all Americans should appreciate his resolve in the face of biased media.
