“Hillary Clinton supports open borders, which means many things, but it means people pour in and take your jobs, whether you like it or don’t like it, they take your jobs”.
But, in the rousing speech held at the Summit Sports and Ice Complex in Dimondale, Trump took the opportunity to speak directly to a demographic he polls poorly with – African-Americans.
“Look how much African-American communities have suffered under Democratic control”, Trump said. (This statistic is wrong, according to PolitiFact; the actual percentage is around 27.9%, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.) “What the hell do you have to lose?”.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has made a direct appeal to African-Americans to abandon the Democratic party and vote for him.
If elected commander in chief, the NY real estate mogul-turned-reality TV star-turned presidential hopeful said, “We are going to work closely with African-American parents and students in the inner cities – and what a big difference that will make”.
“Well, you also have to look at what Trump has said and done himself, not necessarily being, as you put it, demonized”, Brown replies.
In four years, Donald Trump predicts, he’ll get more than 95% of the African American vote. “The inner cities of our country have been run by the Democratic Party for 50 years” which has only produced economic and social strife, the Republican presidential candidate said.
The Republican nominee was speaking in MI.
Donald Trump told African-American voters to give him a shot at the presidency, asking what they’ve got to lose.
The billionaire tried to level with black voters and suggested voting Republican for the first time might help their situation.
The African-American community has given so much to this country.
Before on Friday, Mr Trump declared that a veteran political operative who led his campaign for the previous three months, Paul Manafort, had stepped down.
Speaking at a rally in the critical battleground state of Virginia, Trump declared that the “GOP has to do better” and wants to do better in its outreach to black voters. “Trump’s pledge to build a wall, whether or not he actually builds the wall, he’s going to do something to ban illegal immigration”.
