I guess you didn't hear his long rant last night about the horrible conditions in every inner city.crimsongulf » 02 Aug 2019 6:33 pm » wrote:Eleyesha has not a single accomplishment to his name and DJT told the truth. Even Eleyesha is on video calling his district drug-infested. There was nothing racist, it was simply a true statement that the left has a problem with.
How many millions and probably billions have been thrown at his district and not one single thing has changed.
Inner city is code for black.
Isn't he supposed to be the president of the whole country, or is he just the president of rural America?
During his campaign and in his inaugural address he promised to fix the problems in cities like Baltimore or Chicago.
In late summer 2016, the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump embarked on what he claimed was an appeal to African American voters.
In August, Trump traveled to Michigan for an event that was part of the push, though reporters noted that his speech was actually given in a predominantly white suburb of Lansing.
“What the hell do you have to lose?” Trump said, addressing his question to black voters.
The point, he said, was that African American communities were already a shambles, and their condition could only improve. The remarks drew shocked reactions at the time.
Three years later, as the president attacks Representative Elijah Cummings, a Baltimore Democrat, the answer to his question is clear.
Trump has sabotaged a law that guaranteed health insurance for many African Americans.
He has undermined protections for voting rights.
His Justice Department has stopped going after police departments that discriminated against African Americans.
He has rolled back environmental protections.
Beyond policy, he has used rhetoric that suggests the citizenship of African Americans and other minorities is conditional and less than that of white Americans.
