Yep.

Former President Donald Trump professed to be honored to have the support of Black Lives Matter on Truth Social Wednesday after a co-founder of the organization’s Rhode Island chapter endorsed him on Fox & Friends on Tuesday.
In his post, Trump praised Mark Fisher as a “great guy” and suggested that he had done more for Black people “than any other President” with the possible exception of Abraham Lincoln.
“Spoke with Mark Fisher yesterday, a great guy, very honored to have his and BLM’s support,” declared Trump. “I have done more for Black people than any other President (Lincoln?), including 10 year funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, where they had none, Opportunity Zones, Criminal Justice Reform, and much more. Thank you to Mark!”
During his TV appearance, Fisher blasted the Democratic Party for its “duplicity” on racial issues and argued that Trump’s critics had not “educated” themselves.
“Personally, I love the man,” said Fisher.
Black Lives Matter has oftentimes been criticized by other Republicans, who have accused the group of inflaming racial tensions, lying about law enforcement, and inspiring a number of violent riots in the months that followed George Floyd’s murder during the last year of Trump’s presidency.
In June 2020, Trump himself attacked the group, calling a plan to paint a “Black Lives Matter” sign in New York City a “symbol of hate” that would “further antagonize” police.
In an interview with Fox News later that year, Trump called the group “discriminatory” and mused that “it’s bad for Black people, it’s bad for everybody.”
Mark Esper, who served as Secretary of Defense in Trump’s administration, alleged in his book that the former president suggested that authorities shoot protesters amassed outside of the White House during the summer of 2020.

Yup. Well said.
If nothing else, he got his message out to the black community.
Yep.
and he knows he can get sway with because his cult is already tying itself into knots rationalizing his moves to the left this year.
Is English Trump’s second language? He literally said he was.
😂 God I missed you guys since the Meatball 👢👢🤡slide into third place.
The frenzy is made more delightful as not only are the Democrats in fits, you GOP losers are spastic.
Double Troll Mr.President 😂 A heartfelt Thank You!
Trump 2024
🇺🇸👍
Arent you tired of it yet? Tired of having to keep deluding yourself about what Trump really meant?
Very disheartening
Well, yeah... One guy from BLM endorsed him. Why wouldn’t Trump claim the whole organization. I’ll bet a paycheck Fisher didn’t have permission to speak on behalf of the entire organization.
Who? BLM?
The last time he was in office, Trump let BLM loot, riot, and grift billions of corporate dollars. He didn't lift a finger to stop any of it.
Why are you obsessed with Ron De Santis? Is it because your false icon was rage posting at 1AM last night about “Ron Sanctamonious” needing to drop out yet again? I’m guessing that Trump’s internal polling is telling a much different story than “muh 60 points ahead” lol. I don’t think he will get a “BLM bump”
The problem with DeSantis is that no black people support him and most white people don’t either.
So far, this thread is full of a-hole anti-Trump trolls who clearly haven’t bothered to listen to the actual endorsement.
If blacks want to leave the Democrat plantation and vote for Trump in ‘24, that’s
a good thing.
- unless you want Trump to lose - which I suspect is what’s really going on with this thread.
You must be mistaken. I saw all the forceful tweets he made and everyone knows what he says has the power of creation.
Next you’ll be accusing him of turning his office over to the HHS swamp during WuFlu. /s
LOL! Sarcasm tags are essential on these threads.
This thread screams TDS Fedzilla poo throwers..
Quite an opportunity for Trump to highlight a little Black Lives actually did matter to him in his 1st 4 years..
😉👍
