Donald J. Trump, looking to amass as many votes as possible in the South Carolina primary, is increasingly trying to appeal to the state's black voters. In doing so, he appears to hope that any memory of his 2011 demand to see the birth certificate of the nation's first black president is a distant one...
"You look at African-American youth -- I mean, 58 percent unemployment."
"We have an African-American president and he has not done anything for the African-Americans in this country, and he got a free pass and he shouldn't have," Mr. Trump said...
"You look at African-Americans that are 30 years old, 40 years old, 50 years old. Take a look at their statistics, it's very sad."
Mr. Trump's hopes of appealing to black voters was clear in an ad he began running in the state on Friday... an endorsement from Jamiel Shaw Sr., a black man whose 17-year-old son, Jas, was killed... by an undocumented immigrant.

To the best of my knowledge, Trump has never denied saying that.

Thanks for your incisively intelligent and incredibly useful comment.
I still don’t get what that is all about. Neither you nor the original poster is writing clearly.
“Donald Chump - America’s first Orange President”
Trump-a-lump-a doopedy doo!
Your comment is useless without a credible source link.
The source is John R. O’Donnell, former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino. It’s in his book “Trumped.”
This what Trump had to say about O’Donnell:
“Nobody has had worse things written about them than me,” Trump says. “And here I am. The stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy’s a f***ing loser. A f***ng loser. I brought the guy in to work for me; it turns out he didn’t know that much about what he was doing. I think I met the guy two or three times total. And this guy goes off and writes a book about me, like he knows me!”
THIS is why he went after Cruz. To look consistent.
So someone once said that Trump said.....oh, ok. So you don’t actually have any proof that he ever said it.
If Trump promised them reparations the Trump cultists here would say “It’s about time we got more inclusive”.

So Trump is making a play for black voters? O the horror!
Sounds like O’Donnell has some sour grapes to grind.
Oh, no. Not at all....AAAALLLLLLL the polling says Trump is the worst candidate against Hillary! or Sanders. In fact he loses to the petrified remains of Spuds McKenzie by 10.459 points......
Trump is fishing around for general election votes, but he won’t get them from blacks.
It actually smacks of a little desperation.
Every Black voter in South Carolina should cast their vote on Saturday in the SC primary for Donald J. Trump!!! Not only have African-American been betrayed, abandoned, deceived and used, not only by POTUS Obama, but, by the CBC, the NAACP & the entire Democrat Party!!!
Truth & Fact: African-Americans are worse off today, seven years into the Obama POTUS term!!! Wise up Black folks....you guys have been used and abused by your very own chosen leaders!!! Vote for DONALD J. TRUMP!!! DJT is proven job producer....across the board. Hillary & Bernie will bring you zilch for jobs and opportunities!! Those two folks have never created one real job in their entire lives!!! Don’t be fooled again!!! GO DONALD TRUMP!!!
The Code Pinkos love him too.
Code Pink are cheaters.
