Donald Trump said he would “fire” the ABC News journalist who grilled him about his past comments during a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists convention on July 31.

During his appearance on Adin Ross’s livestream on Kick on Monday, Trump was asked for his reaction to the event, which his campaign appeared to cut short by 30 minutes when it was clear that he led the session off the rails.

“This woman starts talking … about racism, and I said, ‘You didn’t even say hello to me,’ and I’m doing them a favor by doing this,” Trump told Ross on Monday. “I’m doing this out of respect to the Black community.”

and I said, ‘You didn’t even say hello to me,’

It's a media interview, you're not coming over to her house for a friendly chat.

I didn't watch but based on Donald claiming she didn't say hello I assume that she did say hello.

I don't remember what she said, but it was a basic cordial welcome a journalist would give.

Edit: I can't find exactly how he was introduced, but this is what he said after she asked him her first question:

“I don’t think I’ve been asked a question in such a horrible manner,” Trump replied. “You don’t even say hello, how are you.”

She didn't say that to you because she wasn't having a friendly chat with you, dumbfuck.

Found the whole thing that includes when they are walking out on stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgod-nqFEEc

Edit: There was a bit of hot mic somewhere nearby so you could hear a little bit before he sat down:

RS: "Hi Mister Trump, just take a seat over there, thank you."
DT: "Uh, how are you? How are you?"
RS: "Good"

Music dies and mic turns on:

RS: "Mr President, we so appreciate you giving us an hour of your time. I want to start by addressing the elephant in the room, sir. A lot of people did not think that it was appropriate for you to be here today. You have pushed false claims about some of your rivals from Nikki Haley to former President Barack Obama saying..."

He has those weird psychological tricks, like standing funny, having a long tie, and the handshake thing. Getting people to say "hello, how are you" to him is probably one of those, and he's upset that she sidestepped it.
