Donald Trump tried to give remarks in which he didn’t offend entire races, religions, or other broad swaths of the American people tonight. Unfortunately, Donald Trump with a teleprompter still offended and disappointed.

What do you call a white man who has a sense of ownership over black people?

“We will take care of our African-Americans.” Donald Trump
Roger Simon @politicoroger Trump: “We are going to take care of our African-American people” Translation: Trump still doesn’t get it.
Luke Russert @LukeRussert 1. Not all African-Americans live in the inner city 2. Inner cities are not all populated by AAs 3. “Our” pic.twitter.com/YhG6dg3oEW
PublicPolicyPolling @ppppolls Trump musta gotten an early look at our numbers coming out tomorrow showing PA voters think the Phillie Phanatic is more qualified than him
Lisa Mascaro @LisaMascaro That appeared to be the attempted debut of more presidential-adjacent Trump. Oh, except for the ppp-pp thing.
Arianna Huffington @ariannahuff Only @realDonaldTrump would be given credit for giving a good speech because it was devoid of any outright racism. #lowbar
Gideon Resnick @GideonResnick The last time everyone thought Trump was getting more presidential was when he had the restraint to not call Cruz “Lyin Ted”
Jonathan Chait @jonathanchait Trump’s “Our jobs are getting stripped like we’re babies” line makes sense. Babies are like 100% unemployed.
Zeke Miller @ZekeJMiller Trump essentially trying to pretend the last two weeks didn’t happen
Marc Caputo @MarcACaputo Not just “many in GOP,” it’s all of us who wonder if this can/will be sustained.
Nick Confessore @nickconfessore Trump speech tonight: In conclusion, America is a land of contrast.
Amanda Carpenter [email protected] No Republican should pretend like that Trump speech mitigated any of the concerns they had pre-speech. Don’t be cheap.
Matt Viser @mviser Quite a contrast in the New York tabloids tomorrow
Douglas Heye @DougHeye Trump speech didn’t mitigate any concerns of GOPers. Take away the TelePrompTer and his next eruption could be any minute.
