Trump argued that "the left" is using racism to deflect from a booming economy.
"It continues to be pushed by the left because when that talk ... about what this president has been able to do in two and a half years in this country, Martha, it is so hard to fight against it when you have the best economy that we've seen in decades, almost ever in this country," Trump said.
Trump also ripped Democrats for their border policies.
