he has a right to stand up for himself, but the execution was ridiculous, embarrassing, and racist.

Not to mention that he agreed to take questions from journalists at the event but barely answered any questions put to him. Utterly embarrassing.

I wonder if she did the code switching thing when putting black guys in jail for weed.

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 asked are quote, stupid and racist.

You've had dinner with a white supremacist 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?

Except that listing specific, public examples is the equivalent of saying “have you stopped beating your wife” while also playing historical footage of you beating your wife.

My undergraduate degree is in political science and sociology, Burt. I have a reasonable grasp of rhetoric.

In this case, the journalist presented things that Trump has verifiably said or done and asked why voters would - on the basis of him having said and done those things - trust him to be their president.

So again, when you said:

...which part of the question from the journalist represented corporate propaganda?
