The room where Trump is speaking is at full capacity. The fire marshall is not allowing anyone else in. Many black individuals are expressing upset feelings about not being allowed in over non-black attendees.

I'm wondering how much they paid the Blacks to attend. Bet they had to pay for their own tshirts, too.

He's delivered 110%, even delivered on promises he didn't make.

Back in 2016, the phrase was, "Look at my African-American over here":

11. That is the most on-brand thing ever

Like holding an event at a HBCU and only inviting a token handful of students to a fundraiser full of old rich white people (I'm sure those students were THRILLED to be there, lol) while telling everyone else to stay in their dorm rooms. He can't even pretend convincingly for one short event that he isn't racist AF.

12. That's the joke: Trump's views on black issues are informed by other white people.
