Trump accuses black reporter of asking 'racist' question

President Trump on Wednesday accused a black reporter of asking a “racist question” when she asked whether he has emboldened white nationalists by declaring himself a “nationalist.”

“I don’t know why you would say that,” Trump told Yamiche Alcindor, White House correspondent for PBS NewsHour. “That’s such a racist question.”

The president called himself a “nationalist” during a rally in Houston, Texas, last month. He urged the crowd then to embrace the word and said that “it should be brought back," while his opponents have said Trump is using a racist dogwhistle to please white supremacists.

During his post-election press conference Wednesday, Trump questioned how his use of the phrase could encourage white nationalists given the support he said he has from black voters.

He was beyond ridiculous yesterday.

Funny though when he was corrected about his "approval" ratings among AA's.
