I’m almost tempted to chalk this up to a deliberately controversial statement made by Trump, rather than a poorly thought out comment. Over the next few days, I have no doubt Trump will clarify his meaning. In the mean time, certain quarters are likely to attack him, and it will end up backfiring. What are Democrats going to say? Are they going to criticize Trump for saying he’s glad to have this guy’s support? If the do, they would be foolish.
Trump’s supporters know where he stands on these issues and aren’t going to abandon him over this. But when the dust settles, the publicity garnered will have offered Trump an opportunity to demonstrate that he’s open to anyone who supports the MAGA agenda, black or white. The Democrats can keep the radical, racist black vote. Trump’s going after a different sort of black voter who’s open minded enough to recognize that the Uniparty, Dems and Reps alike, have sold them down the river like they have the rest of us.
I think you are on the wrong thread to employ any sort of reason or common sense.
But kudos for the noble effort! :)
