Joke of the month?
President Trump asserted Wednesday that he has done more during his tenure as president “for our Black population” than former vice president Joe Biden has done over four decades in public service — adding that the only Republican president to have done more was Abraham Lincoln.
Trump’s comments, in morning tweets, came a day after Biden delivered an address in which he promised to secure the nation’s unmet promises to minority Americans, drawing a sustained contrast with Trump as he vowed not to “traffic in fear and division” and “fan the flames of hate.”
Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, is increasingly seeking to distinguish himself from Trump by portraying himself as sympathetic to the anger in the streets over the police killing of a Minneapolis man, George Floyd, and generations of other abuses.
“In 3 1/2 years, I’ve done much more for our Black population than Joe Biden has done in 43 years,” Trump tweeted. “Actually, he set them back big time with his Crime Bill, which he doesn’t even remember. I’ve done more for Black Americans, in fact, than any President in U.S. history, with the possible exception of another Republican President, the late, great, Abraham Lincoln…and it’s not even close….
Note…
That’s why he has had to hide in his basement, have fencing put up around his one and get the Army and tear gas to walk across the street to a park and hundreds of thousand around America and the world do NOT agree with his statement?
Joe Biden has been going to talk to black folks….
Republicans always love lecturing the 90+% of African Americans who don’t vote for them that they are voting the erong way.
Trump is just a little more explicit is all.
“What do you have to lose ? ”
Well, now it’s pretty clear to most voters of color.
He NEVER HAD them….
Now he may losing more of the white ones….
Typical Donald Trump fucking things up….
Trump is the result of 40 years of Republicans’ race strategy. He is them and they are him. I read someone saying that their callousness is matched by his shamelessness, They have the perfect mouthpiece for their policies.
His racism goes back to when he and dad owned apartment complex’s in Queens , NY and discourages minorities from moving in…
Yes …
He’s been a racist for a LONG…LONG TIME….
He was a Democrat back then. And the Democrats sure took his checks and went to his weddings for a long time. (and of course Trump in 1999 went out of his way to accuse Pat Buchanan of being all kinds of racist/anti-Semitic/anti-gay, now he cites him frequently for support.)
The Republicans I have supported have explicitly expressed the need for racial equality and progress. Under Trump, the party has turned their back on their legacies or their position within the party. That is not the fault of those traditional mainstream Republicans.
No….
But staying silent or carrying the water for Trump IS WRONG…
Props to those who have spoken out against their party leader…
