Wrong. The original tweet was deleted so Donnie's staff could correct the spelling of Dwyane Wade's name. Smh

All I got from this post was: "Stop being brainless pawns blacks, vote Republican."

And then you wonder why you garner 6-7% of their vote.

Also, you can't declare bankruptcy on crime, so I fail to see how Trump's problem-solving methods would help combat the issue.

What truth? I've lost track with all the rather odd claims going on - is it that AAs will vote for trump? You seem to be saying that if clinton is elected "this will get worse". What exactly will get worse? And, while you're at it, how about some facts to back up your assertion?

Dwayne Wade's cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!

"Trump took that theory a step too far Saturday morning when he took advantage of a tragedy out of Chicago involving the cousin of Bulls legend Dwayne Wayde. Wayde’s cousin, Nykea Aldridge, was shot and killed in Chicago on Friday, leaving her four children motherless. She was walking down the street with a man when shots rang out, aimed at her friend, and she was struck in the head and arm. Wayde tweeted:

Donald Trump decided he needed to step in, because in his delusional world, this isn’t a case of senseless gun violence, this is just another example of how the black community needs him to come save the day by adopting the Giuliani approach to crime: Lock as many people up as young as possible and clear the streets. He thinks for some reason that will win him the trust and votes of the African-American voting block, which polls show couldn’t be further from the truth.


It is exactly what he has been saying. Democrat run things are cesspools.
Educate the inner-cities and be done with this ignorance and death.

Of course it is. Trump isn't going to suddenly grow a conscience.

It's all about using people, and their tragedies, to promote himself. He couldn't even spell a name correctly. All he cared about was getting on Twitter and getting attention. All he cared about was using a family's grief to promote himself.

He will learn, on election day, how disgusting that is. He will also learn he cannot use the black community to promote his doomed-for-failure campaign.

And, since it is exactly what trump has been saying, there is nothing wrong with it!

It's unbelievable. Every bit of this presidential election, I just can't believe the country is in this situation.
Somehow this kind of thing has to be prevented in the future, maybe with very intense psychological testing for anyone running for President, before they get this far.
The personality flaw of true narcissism or sociopathy may be very successful in this guy's level of business due to the kind of ruthlessness that is probably inherent to it I suppose. But for a President, or anyone running any country, it's a dangerous flaw.
I can't wait till this nuttiness is over with and we have our President, and can just get on with the work of so much that needs to be addressed responsibly.

Default Her name was Nykea -

Her name was Nykea Aldridge, age 32 and the Mother of 4 children. She was pushing a baby stroller down the street at 2:30 in the afternoon when she was shot 3 times and killed. This would be shocking if it wasn't a daily occurrence in Chicago - Homicide Watch Chicago - Victims||Chicago Sun Times

"Senseless" Definition --(especially of violent or wasteful action) without discernible meaning or purpose.

It happens on an almost Daily basis - how can it possibly be called "senseless"? There has to be a reason for the never ending People Violence who use a tool called a gun to shoot up their neighborhoods. How can none of the family members or acquaintances of these Violent people NOT know they have these guns and prowl the streets day and night shooting at people? How can they hide indoors and ignore what is going on? They KNOW it's a Gang War - that not "senseless", it has purpose.

Heckling and gunfire as police investigate shooting: 'We’re just playing' |Chicago Tribune 8/26/16

This is what Law Enforcement has to deal with in the War Zone of Chicago - WHY do the habitants of this War Zone want the Status Quo to continue? Why do they think this is a JOKE? Why is it more important to the Leftists to Trump-Trump-Trump-Trump & ignore the real issue ...... 32 year old Nykea Aldridge was gunned down at 2:30 in the afternoon and nobody cares about that except her Family. It's treated as a Political Club to beat up the Racist, White Nationalist, KKK opponent of Hillary Clinton who IS the Status Quo Candidate in the party that also Ignores the War Zone in Inner Cities. How is that War Zone really working out for the inhabitants?

The homicide rate under Reagan and HW Bush was nearly double what it is today

If they couldn't fix the problem, what makes you think a doofus like Donald Trump could?

There are probably people who would say that it has fallen only because of reagan and HW, and obama simply inherited the good trend and is claiming credit for it. They should be along to say that any minute now.
