Not a trick
Anyone who thinks that Trump’s decision to pardon boxer Jack Johnson and commute the sentence of the unfairly sentenced Alice Johnson wasn’t part of a greater plan is delusional.
True. Trump seems hell bent on correcting injustices where ever they may be. Jack Johnson was 1 of 17.
He doesn’t really have to do much
BS. Trump’s pro-business policy together with the tax cuts have resulted in record low unemployment for Blacks.
Anyone who thinks that Trump didn’t gain some black votes by those actions last week doesn’t understand the power of connecting with the disconnected.
True, but why is this a bad thing?
And now he’s considering pardoning Muhammad Ali, who doesn’t need his support, but that won’t stop Trump from claiming that he saved his reputation.
Pre-emptive discrediting of something that hasn’t happened.
It is one more distraction, among a series of distractions from federal investigations that Trump has tried. He also has tried threatening to fire people. Federal investigations = illegal deep state coup attempt He has even raised the idea of pardoning himself. No he didn’t. George Steponallofus got Rudy Giuliani to bite on a hypothetical which drove the news cycle for a week now.
And the NAACP didn’t march.
And the Urban League didn’t put out a statement.
And in Detroit, no one said a word.
Maybe blacks aren’t as stupid as you make them out to be Rochelle.
While the Democratic Party is sleeping, focused on winning November’s midterms rather than uniting behind a single 2020 candidate to challenge Trump, the president is wooing black voters with the help of Kim Kardashian who’s married to the Mad Rapper and has 60 million Twitter followers, many of whom are black.
He listens and acts, pardoning Alice Marie Johnson (black grandmother)
Donald Trump is succeeding at something few people thought possible. He is getting some black people to compare him to Barack Obama. Obama didn’t get Alice Johnson out of jail. Obama didn’t pardon Jack, even though Ken Burns asked him to and produced an entire documentary explaining why.
Why just some? Oh, implication is only stupid blacks would make such a silly comparison.
He is singlehandedly making people forget the strength and resilience and heart of the party that once tried to define itself as the place for the little guy, for the left-outs, for the have-nots.
Trump is exposing the democrat party reality, not a trick.
He is doing it by making people believe that he, whom Forbes describes as the first billionaire president in U.S. history, cares more about the little guy more than Democrats.
Article would be incomplete without a dose of class envy.
He is making people forget that the Democratic Party champions programs for the descendants of the enslaved while the GOP attempts to convince us that slavery wasn’t as big a deal as we have been taught.
Rochelle, silly girl the democrat party was and is the party of slavery.
Instead, he should ask Kim Kardashian for the names of about 100,000 other people, mostly black, in prison for long terms that were inhumane. There are plenty of folks who could deserve what he gave Alice Johnson.
“mostly black”? Ok, get off your butt Rochelle and compile the list of names with the documented injustice and send it to Trump for review. Don’t just include blacks, but everyone where injustice is worthy of commutation or pardon.
Donald Trump, who’s not the best businessman and, maybe not the best husband, is the best modern reality star of all time.
Just a reality star huh? A loser to be ignored? Presumptuous and wrong. You really do loath your black audience. You take them for fools who can’t see the truth for themselves.
And now he’s performing his biggest trick: convincing people that he cares more about black people than the Democratic Party. This, after he convinced poor people that he's better for them than any party.
Actions speak louder than words. Trump is a man of action. Rochelle, you are a woman hell bent on keeping blacks believing lies and firmly ensconced on the democrat plantation.
If they’re not careful, the Dems will look up and realize that the black base they’ve taken for granted for decades, might not be as enthusiastic as in the past. It’s not that they might vote for Trump. But they may not vote against him.
Define “careful”, increase their propaganda campaign of lies and empty promises?
That gives Trump his second term, and should give us all pause.
Why? More winning for blacks is bad because?
If that’s the only mistake I make this morning, I’ll take it.
Thanks for the correction.
Okay, lets do the math. If blacks make up 13% of the voting population, a 5% increase would be only a 0.65 point increase (plus the corresponding decrease of 0.65 points to the democrats) would result in a total delta of 1.3 points. I don't think any blue states Trump lost would fall within that margin. Even House and Senate seats in those blue states would have been unaffected (okay, maybe there were a few - I didn't look up the actual results).
The 25% increase would add 3.25 points to the republicans, subtract 3.25 points from the democrats, for a net 6.5 point swing. Now, assuming across the board racial make-up by state) that would be an impact that would have swung the results of from Clinton to Trump in Colorado, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, Virginia and Maine.
Food for thought.
Donald Trump is wooing black voters.
He absolutely is, and it's about time that a Republican is making an attempt to bring them back to the party of their freedom.
He doesn’t really have to do much: have the presidents of some of nation’s historically black colleges gather in the Oval for a photo op and watch them do it because their schools are struggling or dying.
It's not just a photo op. Trump wants them to succeed.
In Detroit ... many people still love Kanye West whether he thinks slavery was a choice
Of course that's not what Kanye meant. He meant that people don't have to continue to be slaves of the Democrat party. But they know that...
It is one more distraction, among a series of distractions from federal investigations that Trump has tried. He also has tried threatening to fire people. He has even raised the idea of pardoning himself.
It's not a manufactured distraction. He's doing this -- and a lot of good things -- while the left ties themselves in knots purporting this hoax of an investigation.
But, fearing little, he’s now working on his re-election campaign.
And the NAACP didn’t march.
Good
And the Urban League didn’t put out a statement.
Good
And in Detroit, no one said a word.
Maybe they see some good in what he's doing...
Donald Trump is succeeding at something few people thought possible. He is getting some black people to compare him to Barack Obama. Obama didn’t get Alice Johnson out of jail. Obama didn’t pardon Jack, even though Ken Burns asked him to and produced an entire documentary explaining why.
It's called getting off the plantation...
Donald Trump isn’t killing the Republican Party. He is killing the Democratic Party.
And it's about time a Republican worked to do this.
He is singlehandedly making people forget the strength and resilience and heart of the party that once tried to define itself as the place for the little guy, for the left-outs, for the have-nots.
The fact that you were fooled by this in the first place is hilarious... and sad.
He is making people forget that the Democratic Party champions programs for the descendants of the enslaved while the GOP attempts to convince us that slavery wasn’t as big a deal as we have been taught.
Championing the people that they enslaved themselves??? Really?
And no one is belittling the history of slavery. We know the Dems have never been called to atone for their sin and horrible past.
And now he’s performing his biggest trick: convincing people that he cares more about black people than the Democratic Party. This, after he convinced poor people that he's better for them than any party.
He convinced them because it's true. It's not a "trick".
If they’re not careful, the Dems will look up and realize that the black base they’ve taken for granted for decades, might not be as enthusiastic as in the past.
Hallelujah! It's about time!
That gives Trump his second term, and should give us all pause.
Pause? That people see the light and consider the great bamboozle that's been perpetrated on their lives and families? It's sad Ms. Riley, that you would wish that upon your people...
I will gladly take the votes of Blacks and other minorities who have removed the emotional shackles that the Dems have used to guarantee their votes for decades. It will make his victory bigger, and possibly effect permanent change in our electoral politics.
How DARE him to RELEASE the BLACK SLAVES OFF THE DEMOCRAT PLANTATION!!! ONLY the SMART ONES WILL GO!!
He may get a “secret” vote of blacks who will pull the lever for him, but aren’t quite ready to admit it.
If Trump could get his black vote up to just 15 or 20 percent, it would be a huge blow to the RATS. It would keep MI, PA, WI, OH, FL and NC in his collmn in 2020 and by bigger margins than in 2016. It even bring VA into his collumn.
He can deliver the death nail to the RATS by getting Hispanic support up to 35 to 40 percent. Then NV, CO and NM would fallinto his collumn in 2020.
Nice...Time for minorities to look at Republicans - no Conservatives and fight for the American Dream...
