WASHINGTON -- Donald Trump thinks the United States will not see another black president for some time because Barack Obama has "set a very poor standard," the billionaire businessman, entertainer and Republican presidential candidate told ABC News on Sunday. Trump -- who has questioned whether Obama was born in the United States and was once sued by the Justice Department because the management of his apartment complexes allegedly discriminated against black tenants -- also thinks he'll win the black vote.
Trump responded to a question on the show about a tweet he sent last year saying America would not see another black president for generations because of how poorly he thought Obama had done.
"He has done nothing for African Americans. You look at what's gone on with their income levels. You look at what's gone on with their youth. I thought that he would be a great cheerleader for this country. I thought he'd do a fabulous job for the African American citizens of this country. He has done nothing," Trump said.

I think we should add a Trump rule to the GOP nomination process. Every election cycle we must have at least 1 candidate that is wealthy enough that they can finance their own campaign and therefore does not have to give a damn about fundraising. That seems to be the only time we can ever get anyone to speak things that aren’t carefully prepared and guarded so as not to offend anyone.
bttt
As a black guy, I think this is among Trump’s most brilliant chess move. He nails it.
Of course, the state-sponsored media and all the pundits are gonna play the ‘R’ card as their ‘trump’ card (pun intended). Good, when the black low-info voter hears that, they’ll wanna know what he said. And here’s the kicker: They can’t disagree that for most black folks, life sucks even more since they fool has been in the WH.
As I’ve said before, just because you don’t see that in the NYT or hear it on CNN, doesn’t mean every black person is in lock step.
All many folks hear is that 90+% of black voted for this treasonout, terrorist loving, anti-christian, pro-muslim, anti-gun, baby-killing, sodomite loving, illegal immigrant importing liar; most of which they found out about AFTER his re-election.
if the media wants to run with this all week, its a good thing for the Donald. You because NO ONE, GOP, DEM, black, white, etc can say one this the white house has done to actually HELP black people.
Trust me, folks. Most black people see him as more gay than [half]black these days, anyway.
My prediction: No matter what the Donald does Thursday, they’ll try to spin something into a negative - and probably wont’ report on an any other candidate if they can get away with it.
Col West is a good guy.
I’ve been saying this for years. And it has nothing to do with his record.
It’s that every time he’s in trouble his critics call everyone a racists. American’s want to be able to criticize their president without fear if being called a racist.
Wow, not TOO much bias in that article, except all the incredible bias.... like citing a LAWSUIT that Trump was discriminatory in his housing leases. Not a VICTORY in the lawsuit, just that the lawsuit was brought.
The news media is an avowed enemy of truth.
Thanks jimjohn. That’s encouraging news.
And good for everyone.
It would be a natural reflection of human interest distribution and would kill the commies.
Trump continues to talk straight at his challengers and detractors. And, they are bewildered by it.
unfortunately probably a true statement
(although Obama has proven zero credentials to being even an American, more or less genuinely anyone who’s experienced ‘the black life’ —— AND he’s impoverished millions of black American citizens in his 6.5 years to date... and he’s created tons and tons of new anti-black racist sentiment among millions of people who previously did not harbor such attitudes)
yet, the black Americans will get the blame for O
very unfair but....that’s the way things work
private response ...
VERY well said....
And there it is. After Clinton it appeared our registered voters were inclining toward conservative candidates.
Then the liberals changed the rules and stole the country. And every time we've seen a positive change, they change the rules again. And the Repugnants simply stand by mute while somebody cuts off their balls.
Hopefully, we have no RED Presidents either.
I kinda hope they do call him a racist just to see him tear them a new one.
yep....lots of popcorn and iced pepsi....gonna be a good show from now to Nov 2016...
As to the headline title ...
I have made that comment to myself a few years ago.
“They’ (the invisible ones) wanted a black president, and they got a mullato. The shape of the nation is self-evident, so, they had their wish, ho-hum, now, let’s get back to making America great, again.
He’s right
“thought he’d do a fabulous job for the African American citizens of this country”
I’ll simply label it staggeringly naive...or startlngly stupid
or it could be a new way to pander....
