Top ESPN analyst and sports commentator Stephen A. Smith made a hilarious mistake during an interview Thursday with President Donald Trump.
As the two spoke for nearly an hour, the focus turned to the black community. The president then pulled out a sheet of paper containing a list of what he’s done for black Americans and started reading it.
“The black community is the biggest beneficiary of what I’ve done,” the president said. “I did criminal justice reform. I did things– I saved the historically black colleges and universities. They were out of business.”
“I have a list of things that I wrote here,” he added.
The mistake Smith made was allowing the president to continue.
“I’ve got nothing but time,” Smith told the president. “Read the list.”
Smith said this about 26 minutes into the interview. Trump then started reading from the list and continued nonstop — naming one accomplishment after another — for nearly five whole minutes and counting.
President Trump was listing off so many things he has done for Black Americans that Stephen A. Smith had to stop him because it was taking up too much time. https://t.co/8IRnZ1yXwS

Trump started by talking first about historically black colleges and universities, known more broadly as just HBCUs.
“In September 2026, the Department of Education announced another $174 million that I personally approved to HBCUs, bringing the extra funding above what Congress approved to more than $612 million over a two-year period — money that the Democrats fought me on,” he said.
He moved on to talking in the third person about the SAVE America Act, which he argued would have greatly benefited the black community.
“President Trump’s historic push, the SAVE America Act… safeguards black voices, ensuring illegal votes don’t drown out the disenfranchised black communities,” he said.
“Thanks to President Trump’s Trump Accounts Initiative, 100 percent of black newborn babies now have exposure to the stock market, closing a longstanding fiscal divide,” he continued. “And they’re getting $1,000 from our government when they’re born.”
As Trump continued speaking nonstop, Smith kept fidgeting around his chair, likely scheming for a way to respectfully interrupt the president.
But the president, who was just getting started, moved on to talking about the military.
“President Trump secured a tax-free $1,776 warrior dividend, of which the black soldier — is a big percentage of our military — got $1,776 as a dividend,” he said.
“The Trump administration lowered the backlog of veterans waiting for VA benefits by 70 percent, reformed the VA loan program, and largely many of these loans are going to black soldiers and black ex-soldiers from the military,” he continued.
“I did that!” the president added.
Eventually, Smith had had enough.
“Mr. President,” he said, interrupting Trump about four minutes later. “I got something to say.”
Hilariously, the president continued talking right over him.
“President Trump’s working families tax cuts made opportunity zones permanent,” he said, reading from his list.
“I did opportunity with Senator Tim Scott,” the president added, prompting Smith to try to cut him off again.
“I understand,” the ESPN host said. “I want to get to the point though.”
“But I have three pages,” the president fired back.
“I understand it, but…,” Smith replied.
“You wish you didn’t ask me this question,” Trump hilariously countered.
“No, not at all,” Smith responded. “I just don’t want to take all my time on that.”
“I’d rather do that,” Trump said.
“I got you,” Smith replied. “I got some more questions.”
A large share of social media commenters responded to the clip by suggesting that Smith pose the same question to former President Joe Biden.
One social media user added that, from the looks of it, Trump did more for black people than all of his recent predecessors.
“Donald Trump has done more for Black Americans than Obama, Biden and Kamala Harris whose greatest achievement is sending black men to jail for minor offenses like smoking marijuana and laughing about it,” the social media critic opined.
They likely weren’t wrong!
