Trump is on track to recieve the largest percentage of the black vote of any Republican in recent history. That is very big trouble for Biden and the democrats.

CEO Robert Johnson is worth $600 million dollars, and it's in his best interest to support Donald Trump.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_L._Johnson

Trump's tax cuts increased Robert Johnsons after-tax income by 14.3% (while middle class Americans after-tax income was increased by 1.5%.)

Trump abolished the Estate Tax, a tax that only effects the richest 0.2% of Americans. This policy will give Robert Johnson's children $100's of millions of extra dollars.

And the Trump tax cuts gave Americas largest corporations a 11.3% average effective tax rate (while the average small business got a 19.8% effective tax rate.)

I don't blame him. It is true, Black people have struggled in this country to beat the racism and set backs hurled at them over the centuries, and in the past few decades they are now the group that is rising fastest to being successful millionaires, business owners and entrepreneurs, and the last thing they need is Biden's expensive taxes to hit them so he has the revenue to pay for all of the illegal's welfare he is promising.

I'm a woman who is successful and owns a couple of small businesses, and the biggest thing that keeps setting me back is the democrat's taxes and BS regulations. One of my businesses is I buy homes and remodel them and sometimes I flip them, most times I rent them out, and the biggest set backs is waiting for the inspectors. I don't mind inspectors coming in to make sure things are right, but what the problem is is that I have to have a separate inspector for each part, and have to pay a permit and other fees for each section and instead of having all this done on one day, they make me wait because they want to expand the times. One day for the electrical inspections, and then I have to wait up to 10 days for approval so I can bring in the next inspector which could be the plumber, then I have to wait another few days for that to be approved before I can work on the next project and have that inspected. Seriously, I could tear down a house and put a new one up in less than 6 months if I didn't have to wait for permits and approvals. Instead, it takes me close to 18 months to complete a project because of all the red tape. I imagine this is the same crap that goes on with our roads and why it takes forever for them to be fixed or updated.

You who ? Who is you? Do I think he is a racist. Not in the same way some see it. I think he is like those who think there’s a super race - higher in mentally, or physically, financially and he hates those that don’t meet his standard of greatness. Do other races fit that criteria- only some. That’s my personal views - policies this fed training he did an EO to remove. Why?

Mutual interests such as maintaining the tax rate on capital gains and tax avoidance, etc.

Robert Johnson hasn’t been a billionaire since his divorce.

If I recall, he became a billionaire at about the same time that he sold BET.

Noted is that he still supports a $14 trillion reparations plan.

The essence of my post is that he is a wealthy individual who favors a high degree of certainty.

Although the Covid-19 recession may have put a dent in the revenue generated by his numerous hotel holdings, I am sure that he is still considered in the 1%.

I certainly approve of your ingenuity in responding. It is not exactly snark, but it is certainly off topic. You suppose to divert the topic to tax policy and yet another us versus them conversation.

Mr Johnson specifically answered the question about why Trumpand not Biden by saying "regulatory" issues were a known with Mr Trump, the he knew what to expect from Mr Trump, not Mr Biden.

Clever, but no diversion of what Mr Johnson is on topic. Now, sit down Mr Chad.
