April Ryan, White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks, asked the Donald Trump during a press conference if he would hold meetings with the Congressional Black Caucus for assistance with creating his urban development policy.

Trump then responded by asking Ryan to arrange a meeting between him and members of the Congressional Black Caucus, then added, “Are they friends of yours?” Because all of us black folk must know each other, right?

As insulting was, he tried to clean it up but it’s hard to come back from the statement. From his tone to his arrogant disposition, it was a bad look.

See for yourself, are we just in our feelings?
