(Daily Wire) Former President Donald Trump blasted the “rude and nasty” questions from moderators during his Q&A session at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Conference in Chicago on Wednesday, and celebrated the event as a victory.
Trump sat down with ABC reporter Rachel Scott, Semafor reporter Kadia Goba, and Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner for an interview that got off to a contentious start when Scott focused on Trump’s past negative comments about black Democrats and asked the former president why black voters would trust him.
“The questions were Rude and Nasty, often in the form of a statement, but we CRUSHED IT!” Trump wrote on Truth Social after the event.
Trump responds to biased ABC journalist: “First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever been asked a question in such a horrible manner. You don’t even say, ‘Hello, how are you?’”

Throughout the interview, Scott went on the offensive and often spoke over the other moderators while she attempted to grill Trump on numerous topics from abortion and January 6 to comments made by his running mate JD Vance. Later in the Q&A, Trump said it was a “disgrace” that Scott began the interview in a “hostile manner.”
