April Ryan asked a question of Trump about the inner-cities, during this so-called presser and included a mention of the Congressional Black Caucus. Trump (paraphrasing) said he'd be glad to meet w/ them and could she set up the meeting? There is so much wrong w/ this, but I had not seen this posted any where else. For those of you who don't know, April is non-white.

(5,060 posts)His bigotry is glaring... he obviously assumes every black person must know every other black person... it's no different than the kind of bigotry my Chinese friend talks about all the time: "Hey- your Chinese, do you know the Fong's in San Francisco?"
His lack of self-awareness is staggering...
