Trump makes a lot of careless i.e ill-considered statements, but it doesn't make any difference if everything he said had been carefully plotted out and vetted beforehand.
The media hates all Republicans and will use any statement made or not made by a Republican president to depict Republicans as haters, mysogynists, homophobes, racists, etc.
On this matter Trump can't be blamed. Might as well say what's on his mind, he'll get attacked no matter what.
Case in point, watch his meeting with West. Now, an impartial media would praise Trump for meeting with a well-known, black ...uh..."entertainer" to supposedly try and solve problems in the black community.
Instead, according to the "experts" on black matters, West is an Uncle Tom and probably mentally deficient, and Trump is just pandering to black voters.
In short, Trump (or any Republican president) won't win with the liberal media.
Lowest black unemployment rate in many years? So what..."Trump is just a nasty racist."
Why? "Because he just is" shrieks the media.
If Trump didn't meet with West or Jim Brown, then what would he be? According to the media a nasty racist who refuses to meet with top black entertainers to help solve black problems.
Liberals are increasingly just leftists who don't want any peaceful agreements with conservatives. They're coming closer and closer to declaring outright war on conservatives.
