First of all anyone who doesn't know Trump's into evil racist shit by now is unreachable and that seems like a moot point to me. But again the message of this event is not in the people who watched it. It's the victory of Association. Trump to his base; see the blacks had me in to tell them the truth and now they know how it really is. That's going to be the message. And there are going to be a few racist that he's going to reach with this who might not have voted before. People who weren't inspired by the idea of voting against old man Joe Biden are going to be paying a little more attention now.
Liberals and leftists have never understood this about conservative politics. Conservatives completely control narratives. Actual events actual facts never matter. That's exactly why for instance they wanted that audio testimony of Joe Biden when they already had the transcripts. Same exact thing. It's not about what's actually said it's about the easy picture the easy sound clip the easy message. You can't give them easy openings. You have to make them work for it. When they have to sell their people on facts and arguments and policies they fail.
