Unfortunately the people those votes elected have not done much to help the black community.

At times Trump is his own worst enemy. Using all encompassing statements because "Something has to be done" and then having to clarify what he meant. Her doesn't use healthy terms when he's describing things at times.

However I disagree with you here
"he's clueless of how business works in the real-world."

He does know how business works in the real world. He's in it. I think you just did a Trumpspeak yourself.

That's not what he said.

Hey, by the way, let's look at some comments from Trumps spokesperson. I guess clowns attract other clowns. Funny stuff !!


Katrina Pierson, the national spokesperson for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, on Sunday defended her call for a "pure breed" president by arguing that she was a "half-breed" like President Barack Obama.

In 2012, Pierson had complained that both then-GOP nominee Mitt Romney and Obama were not "pure breeds" because their fathers had not been born in the United States. She has also quipped on Twitter that Obama was refusing to help the black community even though he was the "head Negro in charge."

lmao...Although the words weren't the best to be used, she was talking about having TWO NBC parents. Nothing about race.

Actually, that is no more true than the fact that every time a NeoCon wants to avoid a claim of racism, they use the excuse that someone is playing the race card.

Blacks being mowed down by cops: Sometimes true, sometimes not, but rather than discuss the facts, blame it on the race card.
Unemployment higher in the black community: Maybe due to racism, maybe due to lack of motivation, maybe due to longstanding societal issues, but why even debate it, when you can say it's not even real, it's just the race-card.
Cops pulling over black drivers at a higher rate than whites? Maybe (I think the stats bear it out), but who wants to waste time looking at the cause, when you can just discredit it with the race-card.

And most importantly, if you're the one getting better job offers, better pay, better treatment in society, and less fear of your fellow citizen, why would you (not me) want to challenge that. It's not real, it's just people playing the race card.


Maybe the "libs" do play the race card too much (I'm not sure, but maybe), but it's absolutely certain that the #1 defense of any racial concerns is "it's not real, you're playing the race card". God forbid you shold take an honest look and try to solve the problem, rather than justify your position.

It came from the top.
Trump always told everyone who would listen that ALL business decisions were his and his alone.
Of course he tried to weasel out of it when he was challenged in court, but everyone knew that discrimination was a hallmark of the brand.

As has been noted, Google is your friend.
Anyone who is really interested in the history of Trump's business and other practices can find it easily enough.

And that's a big problem. It's mind boggling to me he didn't know the facts. (Granted I read some strange things in this forum that people think are facts which are not remotely true.) Often enough the crime is committed by someone you know or hangs in "your" circle. Generally speaking peoples circle of friends are similar in appearances.
Then he corrects himself. Another example of him "evolving" I guess.

I love how you have to lie and say I support Trump. Truth is treason to some.

FYI, though, Mr. Falsely Testify Lover re tweeting out false information is no where near the same thing as a racist tweet. Just those that falsely play the race card will try and say he's racist.

Okay so she is defining the birth requirements to be President. What's your point? Oh that's right you have nothing yet again.

- He took out full page ads calling for the death penalty for Black teenage suspects, who were later exonerated for the crime they were accused of.

- John O'Donnell, former President of Trump Plaza Hotel and casino, wrote that Trump once said " Laziness is a trait in Blacks. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

Although Trump called O'Donnell a disgruntled employee, he did NOT deny the quotes attributed to him, in fact, he said in a later interview:

“Nobody has had worse things written about them than me,” Trump says. “And here I am. The stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy’s a ****ing loser.

- His unprecedented attacks on the sitting President, who also happens to be the 1st Black President (at least partially so), for everything from his religion to his nationality.

- He does not call out his supporters for blatant racism. Evidenced by his failure to immediately disavow David Duke and the KKK (who are responsible for the lynchings of approximately 3,500 Blacks, with the most recent being 1968), or condemn physical assaults against protesters.

Then there's this quote:

- “And if you look at black and African American youth, to a point where they’ve never done more poorly. There’s no spirit.”

...and this one:

- “Sadly, because president Obama has done such a poor job as president, you won’t see another black president for generations!”


Need more?

Just because he says "He has a great relationship with the Blacks." Doesn't mean its true. Unless you count Omarosa and Ben Carson...which most people don't, because they suck. Lol
Reposted for all the Trumpets that continue to ignore the truth.
Thank you mik1680 for spending your time to educate the ignorant.
