In her dispatch on the event, Jane notes that Trump didn't even bother to show up and instead spoke to attendees via telephone about his planned tax cuts for businesses.

Lmao, asshole literally phoned it in

There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?

planned tax cuts for businesses

Well, at least Trump spoke about the key issues the black community face and showcased how his platform will enable them to have a better future.

Trump lied an awful lot tonight. Sorry that you fell for it.

[–] dogslayeggs@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Whoosh!

The point of that post was that tax cuts for businesses is NOT the key issue for the black community

NOT the key issue for the black community

Thank you, this is a much better and clearer way to state what I meant.

I was being sarcastic. Also, he didn't even lie, he just talked about an unexpected topic as he isn't "the biggest fan of black people."

[–] JimSamtanko@lemm.ee 14 points 4 months ago

My guess is that he didn’t even dial the number.

You slightly misquoted the next line of the article, but that's okay as I see it's not part of the direct quote
