COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump claimed Friday that his four criminal indictments have boosted his support among Black Americans because they see him as a victim of discrimination, comparing his legal jeopardy to the historic legacy of anti-Black prejudice in the U.S. legal system. Trump argues he is the victim of political persecution, even though there is no evidence President Joe Biden or White House officials influenced the filing of 91 felony charges against him. Earlier in the week, Trump compared himself to Alexei Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top domestic rival, who died in a remote Arctic prison after being jailed by the Kremlin leader. “I got indicted for nothing, for something that is nothing,” Trump told a black-tie event for Black conservatives in South Carolina ahead of Saturday’s Republican primary. “And a lot of people said that’s why the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I’m being discriminated against. It’s been pretty amazing but possibly, maybe, there’s something there.”
No, besides his assuming black people will feel aligned with him because he has a mug shot he also had nothing but nice things to say to a cheering crowd.
Calling Biden a racist...multiple times.
Saying he worked with the black community to build.
Because of the bright lights he can only see black people.
So if you can ignore the fact checking and then the commentary watch that.

Off topic but I wonder what this crowd thought about “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black” and “poor kids are just as talented as white kids” and “they’re gonna put y’all back in chains”.

In their attempt to ridicule that which is irritating to them, they unwittingly bring themselves down to the same level of that which offends them. Fascinating, I wonder if anyone has ever conducted a study of this type of behavior?
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

If I remember correctly Biden was taken to task for those and the crowds didn't cheer and laugh along with him.

Yeah, he didn't say that it was a FOX network person but I mean the whole mugshot thing has to be nearly as bad.
"You like me because we have both been treated very badly by the justice system! I had to take my private jet to a nearby state and get my photo taken which I then used to sell shirts and make money. Exactly the same as black people have been treated in this country! Also, back the blue."
Or something like that.

That's exactly the point. Trump says dumb shit all the time, and yet you guys still ascribe statements to him that he didn't even make.
If you think the mug shot and playing the victim and the shoes is why he's gaining votes with blacks then you are all off your rockers. All you have to do is take a look at the news in Denver, Chicago, NY and so on and you're light bulb in your brains might go off.
AKA a lot of people said he shouldn't have said that, some tried to say what he "meant" and in the end it didn't hurt him politically as he won anyway.

Biden received 92% of the black vote in 2020. So no, he was not punished at the ballot box. Can Biden get 92% of the Black vote in 2024?
Polling says not even close as Biden immigration policies have hurt his base of not only Blacks but Hispanics.
The issue of sanctuary city policies is hurting those cities and states.
Voters did well under a Trump economy, but under Biden illegal immigrants are literally doing better than voting citizens.
Biden can attempt to buy young votes who are also less supportive of Biden in the polls versus 2020.
We will see if Biden or a replacement can earn back the trust of these voting groups, but time is ticking as now 8 months away from the election and the middle class is heading to lower class and lower class are flat our hurting under Biden's economic policies. In the past liberal cities could also bail under poor economic performance, but like I said, the liberal cities have chosen to spend more money on illegal immigrants housing, food, cash card, health insurance and other benefits leaving less money for those already below the poverty line.

More leftists spreading disinformation. With Trump being such low hanging fruit it's crazy you guys continuously have to resort to fake items to disparage him.
