Trump: Democrats "should be worried about the African-Americans because they're going to lose them"

President Donald Trump said his party plans to woo African-American voters ahead of the contentious midterm elections next week, and that Democrats should be "worried."

"I mean, we have the best numbers we've ever had. And I sometimes jokingly say, 'It's going to be awfully tough to beat me in a debate when I have the best numbers ever produced,'" Trump said Monday. "So I think they should be worried -- they should be worried about the African-Americans because they're going to lose them."

Trump made the comments Monday night in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, who asked him if his White House meeting with rapper Kanye West helped increase his poll numbers.

Still sounds like a bad joke.

His "best numbers ever" among blacks must mean he doubled his approval with blacks, from 1% to 2%.

Is he really that delusional or does he think things will happen because he says so?

Please, someone, just make him go away. It's unbearable!

Last time I laughed that hard was at a Richard Pryor, live on stage video.

Rump, you’re no Richard Pryor, but I have to admit, THAT was funny!!!
