The former president is as desperate as ever to seize power any way possible.
Who is advising Trump on how to speak to Black folks? He made yet another attempt to garner support from Black folks—but insulted us instead.
This time it was at his rally in Atlanta Tuesday (Oct. 15). Trump stated that people of color who plan on voting on Vice President Kamala Harris in November may have some mental problems. Yes—he really said that.
“Any African American or Hispanic– and you know how well I’m doing there – that votes for Kamala, you gotta have your head examined. Because they are really screwing you. They are really screwing you,” Trump said during the event.
Are these mishaps or intentional? Apparently when he’s not slinging sneakers, taking photos with rappers, saying Black people can relate to him because of criminal persecution and popping up at Black churches filled with white people, Trump chooses to denigrate us to garner our support.
A New York Times/Siena College poll published Saturday (Oct. 12) found that 78 percent of Black voters said they would back Harris in the election, compared to a meager 15 percent who said they would support Trump.

Another Times/Siena College poll of Hispanic voters published that same day showed 56 percent said they would vote for Harris, while 37 percent said they would vote for Trump.
