Donald Trump stepped up his push for non-white voters Monday, asking bluntly how much more crime would have to occur until African-Americans and Latinos would support him.
"Look how bad it is getting!" Trump tweeted. "How much more crime, how many more shootings, will it take for African-Americans and Latinos to vote Trump=SAFE!"
He then added this tweet, "Inner-city crime is reaching record levels. African-Americans will vote for Trump because they know I will stop the slaughter going on!"(continued)

He won’t stand up for the anthem?
What?
I love it
Now their self enriching self proclaimed minority leaders will say Trump is being racist ending their family wealth preservation scheme.
Huh?
What you do is target the gangs as terrorist organizations and kill them all.
The leader in the Philippines is trying something like that.
Bet it works.
Who will be the first Mediot to call this racist?
Pray America wakes
Trump needs to pivot to the economy, energy, and state’s rights issues. I’m glad he’s talking about the abysmal failure of the Democrooks at exploiting the black vote, but he’s overdoing it. Give blacks an option to either crap or get off the pot, and to be Americans rather than clinging to this fairy-tale that they should have their own subset “African” culture when no black person alive today has nothing in common with Africa.
I can remember but a few very short periods that I was without a job. Nobody ever told me I had to work. Figured that out myself. I like my lifestyle, which can’t be supported on the public tit and I’ve never considered selling drugs....... again, my lifestyle doesn’t work in jail. So I’ve worked my entire life.
There are two things absent in my lily white, upscale neighborhood; Crime and cops.
Blacks are responsible for their condition, not me.
Neighborhood safety, local economy and schools are what matters to most, if not all, residents who live in the worst parts of either the south or west side of Chicago. I highly doubt they have the Constitution in mind when just trying to survive every day can take an effort. Most will care about energy only as it relates to gas prices. As far as economy goes, they want to see jobs in their neighborhoods. The only way that happens is to convince business owners that the neighborhood is safe and will not get robbed and/or shot.
They want safe neighborhoods, vacant buildings buzzing with business activity, and their children attending good schools. Trump is not overdoing anything. He is doing what other GOP candidates should have done a long time ago by going in to the inner cities and courting the black vote.
Restore law and order, prop up the economy and give children school vouchers and Trump will win at least 20% of the black vote. He does that and he will the White House in a landslide.
LOL. I like your style. I try to tell the idiots over at The Guardian that if you mind your own business you can go throughout life without talking to a cop. Or at least, not meeting them until a parent dies and they must be called along with the ambulance and undertaker. They don’t believe me.
Sunday when I had the tv on for noise, Lockup - Extended Stay was on. One soundbite that perked my ears was the commentator saying that most gang crime in Boston boiled down to 300 families. Cousins, brothers, sisters, uncles, etc. I wonder if that is true in other urban areas?

I trust that you are not a black man. It isn’t arguable that young black men working , paying their taxes, keeping their nose clean, and “minding their own business” can’t say the same thing walking down a street in a big city, which is just not right. The right way to end THAT kind of “discrimination” is to find the criminals and lock them up for a VERY long time (like, for example, 50 years). That way, people in the neighborhood won’t be afraid to testify against them. Unlike a lot of wealthier people, they can’t move. A few examples of that and violent crime would drop like a brick.
I’m also wondering if the Feds under Trump can pursue the same lengthy-sentence “civil rights violations” against these idiots that were used in the South in the 1960’s, getting ahead of weak-kneed liberal state judges and weak state sentencing. There’s no doubt that poor woman who was gunned down pushing a baby stroller had her rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness violated. So did her children.
*I* too want safe inner cities. I hate having these festering sores in our nation. It’s always been very sad, most of the people in the bad neighborhoods have no choice but to live there. To me, talking about the inner cities sends a national message to those who are sick of the same old status quo, black AND white. Oh yeah, the old civil rights movement was black AND white too.... until Martin died and his dream died with him.
The sad truth that DJT has hit upon is that violent crime in our cities could be largely eliminated. But we tolerate it and to a certain extent the status quo is profitable. So the slaughter continues.
Nope. economy and states rights issues people already are voting for him. While feeling good about speaking to people who agree with you already is nice, Trump knows better. Speak to states rights voters gain 0 votes (Which is moving backwards). Speak to 100 inner city blacks and get 20 votes.
He’s not preaching to the choir. Good on him: if we do what we’ve always done, we’ll get what we’ve always gotten.
