“Well, this is Black History Month, so this is our little breakfast, our little get together,” President Donald Trump said.
To kick off Black History Month Trump hosted a “listening session” on Wednesday for his African American supporters and administration members including Dr. Ben Carson, secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and Omarosa Manigault, who focuses on public engagement for the White House.
The day began with a breakfast event that was open to the media, where Trump shared limited knowledge of Black history. His opening remarks focused onslamming the media and talking about the presidential election and “inner cities.”
