That's a rather mean-spirited statement.

I hope you know that Trump isn't really running for President, he's just using it to grab the media's attention and promote himself, as usual.

Exactly. He might have a show on the back burner... Waiting for the sheep to eat it up.

Oh I know that, some people in here don't. Its all about attention. Plus he's smart and wouldn't unintentionally word his statement like that.

Here's what I think he's doing. He's throwing a trial ballon up in the air. Right now he's getting some traction. I actually think his ego is big enough that he will run if the mania gets big enough BUT ONLY AND ONLY IF HE CAN SUCKER THE PUBLIC TO FRONT THE MONEY FOR IT!

Trump will NEVER finance an presidential election campaign with his own money.

It doesn't matter if he has a good relationship with blacks or not, more than likely the blacks will overwhelmingly vote for Obama, and some of those because he is 1/2 black.
Never mind that Obama is ruining this country at record pace, as long as they have one of "their people" they'll vote for him.

There are plenty of White Americans that would NEVER vote for ANYTHING BUT THEIR PEOPLE.

After all it was Sarah Palin who said "WE NEED TO TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY"


Black Americans on the other hand have supported presidential candidates they felt had their best interest at heart regardless of skin color.


So What's Your Point?

I'm trying to picture Obama saying, "I have a great relationship with the whites".
He would not. He labeled his own grandmother a "typical white woman". That he would even make the race distinction about the woman who took care of him as though he was her own, after his own parents basically abandoned him, is telling enough.
