Need more proof that Donald Trump hates black people? Well, Bob Woodward’s got it in his new book.
According to the media, anyway:
When asked if he had a responsibility to understand the “anger and pain” felt by Black Americans, President Trump said, “No, I don’t feel that at all,” according to Bob Woodward. https://t.co/BBMB5gGqDX

When Bob Woodward suggested that they had a responsibility to better “understand the anger and pain” of black Americans, Trump essentially mocked him. “You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn’t you? Just listen to you. Wow. No, I don’t feel that at all.” https://t.co/UfwTk5w00q

In Woodward’s new book “Rage,” Trump says he knew the coronavirus was “deadly” and worse than the flu, and says he feels no responsibility to better understand the anger and pain of Black Americans.
Well all right, then.

Trump on whether he felt any responsibility to better understand anger and pain of Black Americans this summer:
No,” Trump replied. “You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn’t you? Just listen to you. Wow. No, I don’t feel that at all.” https://t.co/sFOa40b8EL

Woodward asked about White privilege and suggested they had a responsibility to better ‘understand the anger and pain’ felt by Black Americans.
“No,” Trump said, his voice described as mocking and incredulous. “You really drank the Kool-Aid, didn’t you?” https://t.co/tJHANGbCeG

You get the picture.
It just happens to be a false one:
Read the ACTUAL question and try to tell me that journalism isn’t dead. pic.twitter.com/aZOQouyoOM

This is so messed up. What Trump ACTUALLY said is that he doesn’t feel like he’s isolated in a white privilege cave that he has to come out of to understand black pain.

This is straight up propaganda. Many of these outlets didn’t even include the question in the article.

Donald Trump has a knack for sticking his foot into his mouth. But, without fail, the media insist on shaming him for things he didn’t actually say.
And all the MSM will frame it as dirty as possible because they know most of their readers will only see the headline and run with it. They won’t take the time to read what was actually asked.

The word “responsibility” doesn’t appear in the question or the answer but it appears in every article.
This isn’t journalism. It’s misdirection.

The media may not understand why their reputation is in the toilet, but it’s pretty clear to the rest of us.
It is precisely this distortion of Trump’s message that has become so predictable now. I admire you for having the endurance to read their drivel. I get nauseous.

And they can’t understand why people call them the enemy of the people. Absolutely disgusting, unethical behavior from so-called “journalists” here. https://t.co/su16jUV8Fh

The corrupt media laments division while they actively stoke it.
It’s kinda funny that one thing that Americans agree on is that the press is crap.
