I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals, from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama, saying that they were not born in the United States, which is not true. You have told four congresswoman women of color who were American citizens to go back to where they came from. You have used words like "animal" and "rabbit" to describe black district attorneys. You've attacked black journalists, calling them a loser, saying the questions that they ask are "stupid" and "racist." You've had dinner with the white supremacists at your Mar-a-Lago resort. So my question, sir, now that you are asking black supporters to vote for you, why should black voters trust you after you have used language like that? Well, first of all, I don't think I've ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner, first question. You don't even say, "Hello, how are you? Are you with ABC?" because I think they're a fake news network, a terrible network. And I think it's disgraceful that I came here in good spirit. I love the black population of this country. I've done so much for the black population of this country, including employment, including opportunity zones with Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, which is one of the greatest programs ever for black workers and black entrepreneurs. I've done so much, and, you know, when I say this, historically black colleges and universities were out of money, they were stone-cold broke, and I saved them, and I gave them long-term financing, and nobody else was doing it. I think it's a very rude introduction. I don't know exactly why you would do something like that. And let me go a step further. I was invited here, and I was told my opponent, whether it was Biden or Kamala, I was told my opponent was going to be here. It turned out my opponent isn't here. You invited me under false pretense. And then you said, "You can't do it with Zoom." Well, you know, where's Zoom? She's going to do it with Zoom, and she's not coming. And then you were half an hour late, just so we understand. I have too much respect for you to be late. They couldn't get their equipment working, or something was wrong. Mr. President, I would love that you could answer the question on your rhetoric and why you may be a black woman. I have answered the question. I have been the best president for the black population since Abraham Lincoln. Better than President Johnson who signed the Voting Rights Act. Can you just start off a question-and-answer period, especially when you're 35 minutes late because you couldn't get your equipment to work in such a hostile manner? I think it's a disgrace. Let me just ask a follow-up, sir, and then we'll move on to other questions here. You believe that Vice President Kamala Harris is only on the ticket because she is a black woman. Well, I can say, no, I think it's maybe a little bit different. So I've known her a long time indirectly -- not directly, very much. And she was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black? But you know what? I respect either one. I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn, and she went -- she became a black person. Just to be clear, sir, do you believe that she is -- I think somebody should look into that, too.
