in their universe, lewis said "trump bad".
trump countered with "but you're black and your district is stereotypically black"
lewis responded, in their universe, with "yes, i'm black, but blacks districts can look a bit white too, and yes, i'm black"

that's not a punch back, in fact it's a further win for trump. he not only derails "trump bad" topic, but he also further establishes his tribal identity and his critics' tribal identity, which is part of the game that benefits donnie.
