Donald Trump said he would “fire” the ABC News journalist who grilled him about his past comments  during a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on July 31.

During his appearance on Adin Ross’s livestream on Kick on Monday, Trump was asked for his reaction to the event, which his campaign appeared to cut short by 30 minutes when it was clear that he led the session off the rails.

“This woman starts talking … about racism, and I said, ‘You didn’t even say hello to me,’ and I’m doing them a favor by doing this,” Trump told Ross on Monday. “I’m doing this out of respect to the Black community.”

    Ross — a 23-year-old streamer with a mostly young male audience of more than 1.4 million Kick followers and 4.4 million YouTube subscribers — fawned over the former president during a 90-minute stream and gave him a Rolex and a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped in images of the former president.

    A dumpster for a dumpster fire.

        Cue campaign finance violations and ensuing endless litigation and appeals that ultimately goes nowhere slowly. Sigh

        A Cybertruck with a special wrap that showed Trump right after he was shot.

        Because that’s totally what I’d want, a Cybertruck with a picture of me bleeding on it.

          It’s also been speculated that this is the same Cybertruck that he shot with a gun several months ago for a video, with the wrap covering the bullet holes.

          This dumb fuck cheaping out and giving his idol a second-hand gift is funny on its own, but knowing that it might be full of bullet holes is just poetic.
