I watched part of the rally. One thing that continually impresses me about DT is his speaking. He doesn’t make “speechy” speeches, it’s like he’s having a conversation with the listener. He seldom checks his notes or teleprompter. Once in a while he’ll make a little goof, but - like a professional - he just keeps going and you barely notice it. His caring and investment in a better America are what stand out the most. And, unlike a lot of scaredy-cat GOP, he will totally GO THERE. He’ll give them some of their BS back and not just sit there quivering because SOMEBODY USED BAD LANGUAGE OMG.
It’s easy to see why statists and socialists hate him so much. They can’t breathe or make a move without their handlers and their script.
Trump also reached out to the Black and Latino communities in a way most GOPee politicians would not. He reinstated and tripled funding for HBCUs after Obama zeroed that funding out. He also signed into law the 2018 tax bill that ensured numerous economic empowerment zones in distressed areas, some of which helped out Black urban communities. It wouldn’t surprise me if some Latino areas, such as East L.A., benefited from these zones as well. He also signed the First Step Act into law, which evened out the penalties for crack cocaine vs. powder, ending a disparate impact in federal drug sentencing for Black people.
If he had been re-elected, we would have seen him attempting to implement his Platinum Plan, which was intended to foster up to 500,000 new Black-owned businesses. In the summer of 2020, he announced a similar plan for the Latino community. Meanwhile, the GOPee was probably sitting back, muttering “why bother; they’ll never vote for us,” and all that.
