It should take more than slogans to vote for someone. Trump had plenty of them, but we are still waiting for the great, wonderful health care plan to be rolled out. Infrastructure? Tax cuts for the middle? Putin put in his place (our enemy)?

His "look at my African-American over there" comment.

And then he also said "Blacks are too stupid to vote for me".

Being Black, this kind of stuff doesn't sit well with me.
Well, Trump's support from blacks is higher than any "republican" in a while. Nothing that you will ever hear from the Fake News.

Granted I wouldn't label Trump a traditional neo-con ("republican"), it's still interesting.

And those numbers are very misleading. Alot of Blacks stayed home and didn't vote. The same Blacks who vote Republican voted for a Republican this time. Some Blacks who would have voted Democrat stayed home this time, because both candidates were horrible. Black support hasn't risen, some Blacks just didn't vote this time.

I'm not talking about votes per se, I'm talking about approval ratings. Yes, votes, too, I guess.


I believe it is higher than most republicans in a very long time.


I'm not really trying to argue with you, just pointing that out.

Actually, approval of Trump is quite low among Blacks. About 92% of Blacks disapprove of Trump. Link to that poll: https://civiqs.com/results/approve_p...rican-American

THE President Trump? You really about the opinion of a pathological liar who has declared bankruptcy four times, been divorced twice, and has affairs with porn starts whom he then buys off? You need better friends.

No, it sure isn't that simply. How do you know President Trump isn't lying at you? Or if he isn't, that he won't change his mind about you later. I'm not about to be foolish enough to trust Trump.

Actually, by appealing the law, Jackson's Womens Health Org created the mechanism to reverse Roe v Wade.

Many blacks don't care about policy it's all about them and their race. They conveniently ignore Biden's remark of "if you didn't vote for me, then you ain't black" all the while they take things out of context of any supposed racial remarks that Trump has made.

Let's face it, they believe the lies of the Democrats that the Republicans are racists and they love the socialism of the Democrat party which serves them personally and to hell with what is best for our country as a whole. It's all about me, me, me with these die hard, party hack blacks.

Trump did many good things for blacks while in office but they completely ignore that.
