Why do folks continue with this lie. Democrats are for border security. They are against building a wall because they believe it will not be effective. The two are not the same.
should the fencing around the White House be permanently removed? It's there because it deters people from walking up to the building.. how bout at Bill Gates home, or Mark Zuckerbergs? they must be idiots to believe it would deter people from entering their property. Why put fencing around their homes?

Actually it is not.....indicative of anything.

But I don't suppose I can explain it if you think otherwise.

Fencing around the White House or Gates/Zuckerberg is less then a mile long. The southern border is over a thousand miles long. To explain the difference between the two is useless for those lacking logic.

These stories of growing support for Trump by blacks are not to entice anyone to hop aboard. The purpose of them is to report on the contrary to popular belief claimed and reported by at least 90% of the media and entertainment industries.

Example: 90% plus media and entertainment claim that Mustangs have no back seat. So stories are presented that show Mustangs do in fact have a back seat. The purpose is to report on the contrary to popular belief claimed and reported by at 90% of the media and entertainment industries. And in these two instances, facts have been proven but yet there are still some out there who don't accept these proven facts because it doesn't fit the narrative they want.

I'm black and I know about 13 black people who like Trump and all of them are black Americans.



I know probably a thousand black people who are not....


My 13 plus your 7 is 20. I literally do know at least 1000 black people. So 20 out of 1000 is 2%. Not huge lol. And FWIW I think probably 5-7% of black people like/support Trump enough to vote for him in 2020.

On the bold it is always funny to me that Trump supporters have actually told me to my face (at the gym of all places, but it was on a cardio machine and not when I was squatting 250lbs lol) that I should be "happy" for Trump "giving blacks jobs..." I've been employed for over 10 years straight lol. Trump didn't give me a job. Black people are always getting jobs and have always worked. It is funny to me that people who repeat this stuff, including Trump himself - that blacks wouldn't or didn't have job before him - are actually showing their white supremacy ideology when they say that. FWIW I told old white guy at the gym to get the F out of my face. He actually bothered me to talk to me about what Trump was doing "for blacks" when I had my headphones in last week.

So WHY are the monthly job creation numbers for Trump's 1st 2 years LESS than Obama left him with in Obama's last 2 years. Monthly job creation has gone DOWN under Trump compared to what it was during Obama's last 2 years.

So what policies did Trump promote . I'm genuinely asking .

The economic opportunity zone thing is nice, but it technically already existed. He is just promoting it more than Obama and he even stopped doing that after about 2 months , but what other policies can he lay claim to ?

Or like the back seats of a Mustang, they are there, but they serve no practical purpose allowing that the GOP is a Mustang.

Two of my drinking buddies when I'm home in Florida are black.
They have a visceral loathing of Clinton and thought Obama was a bag of hot air.
They gave Trump the benefit of the doubt last time and will probably do so again next time unless a strong Democrat emerges with similar economic and trade policies as Trump.
They're withering about those who have declared so far.

If Republicans can peel off 5-10 percent more of the black population the Democrat party is finished.

They don't need 50 percent
