Summary

Melik Abdul, a GOP strategist and Black Americans for Trump Coalition member, criticized Donald Trump on CNN for blaming a D.C. plane crash on DEI policies without evidence.

Abdul expressed frustration that Trump’s focus on divisive issues, rather than economic policies, is making it harder for Black supporters to defend him.

He warned that Trump’s recent rise in Black voter support isn’t guaranteed.

    Hi! You must be new here.

    Also…

    He warned that Trump’s recent rise in Black voter support isn’t guaranteed.

    Your support one way or the other doesn’t matter any more. You’ve doomed us all unfortunately.

    It’s too bad stupid people were also allowed to vote.

      whole reason why education is not funded properly and why even Democrats are against regulations that are pro Mother Earth

      people remaining after voter suppression laws are the ones who will eat anything the Republicans or Democrats based on their check writers’ opinions put on the menu

    Trump’s focus on divisive issues, rather than economic policies, is making it harder for Black supporters to defend him.

    An IQ of at least 2 digits, some knowledge of history and a re-checking the color of your skin in the mirror every once in a while should make it even harder for black people to support Donald Trump.

    Big “he’s not hurting the people he’s supposed to hurt” energy.

    Also, really hard to feel any sympathy and respond with anything other than

    Because we all fucking knew this is what he was going to do. Anyone who supported him and is surprised doesn’t necessarily need to be laughed at, but I’m not exactly going to be very sympathetic to them getting the shit we knew was coming. They’re just mad that it wasn’t chocolate ice cream they opened up for…

      This is the answer. This dipshit is on national TV 100% because he was duped by a con-man. A con-man that over 75 million people saw for exactly what he was. If this guy, and everyone who stupidly follows him, didn’t see it, that’s on him & them.

    It’s hard to wrap ones head around the concept of “Black Americans for Trump” as an idea. Can you get anymore racist than current times GOP lead by Trump? What did those people expect? Getting spared from the new Nazi regime for being bootlickers?

    Nah, you made this hard for us. Every vote for that man made it harder for all of us. I am baffled how many people thought they would be part of the “in group.”

    24 “News” networks are not news. They’re basically reality shows at this point. We need to all stop treating them as news. Yes this guy is a dumbass. Moving on.

    I’m as shocked as you are that the first tool Trump reaches for is scapegoating. You’d think after a decade of blaming problems on minorities he’d come up with some new msterial.

      Why would he? Behavior like that has worked out well for him most of his life. Not only that, but it’s an election winning strategy.

        You know, when there’s a “Black People for the guy who has a extremely well-documented history of discriminatory behavior towards non-white people that he undoubtedly learned at a young age from his dad” group and they help you win elections, you can pretty much do and say whatever you want. Stockholm syndrome’s an especially vindictive bitch when a whole country has to deal with the repercussions!

          After the Central Park 5, it’s mind boggling that any black person would ever vote for him.

            RIGHT!? I mean, ignore the lawsuits against his dad and him for discriminatory practices as landlords or the long-debunked shit he said about Saudis celebrating 911, or the constant categorizing immigrants as “murderers and rapists.” Seriously, short of wearing a fucking white hood, what more does a guy need to say or do to be universally seen as what he so clearly is? Burn a cross on the Elipse?

            He still claimed they were guilty when they were proven innocent.

              I mean, they WERE guilty. Of being non-white.

          And the best part is the media will cover for them by saying it’s “economic anxiety,” just as they did in 2016.

      Wait? A decade? Doesn’t he have a documented history of doing this since the 70s?
