Lemon: Black Male Support for Trump Is ‘Aspirational’ — ‘They Want to Be Like Him’
Breitbart ^ | 09/17/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 09/18/2024 6:09:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Former CNN host Don Lemon said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that some black men are supporting former President Donald Trump because they want to be like him.

Host Joy Reid said, “You did recently speak with a lot of black men supporting Trump. I have to ask you about it. Here it is.”

Lemon said, “I have been talking to a lot of black men who say they’re supporting Donald Trump. Who are you voting for?”

After several black men answered Trump, an unidentified man said, “I think the reason why the money he gave away last time he was in office is what they’re looking for again.”

Reid asked, “What do you make of that? What do you make of black men, as disdainful as Trump is to black people?”

I don't see the problem. Dem party has been holding them back for decades with welfare so why not try to be like Trump.

Black males wanting to be like Trump is no surprise; they sure don’t want to be like the homo Lemon is.

Better they want to be like Trump than a lover who can’t keep a job like you.

Black men, Latino men and Asian men respect strength.

They naturally look up to Trump.

Far too many white men have overdosed on estrogen.

Sounds like little Donny the Lemon doesn’t think black men should aspire to be rich and successful unless they can run, jump and play little boys’ sports games. Personally, I’d prefer that they aspire to be rich and successful without all the LeBron showboating and physical injuries. Yeti Reid and Donny Lemonhead don’t want it that way. They prefer angry young black men who they can scare with their “white boogeyman bedtime stories”.

Not recalling any disdain for black men, plenty for Pelosi though.

I think most men want to be like Trump. Strong, smart, rich, charismatic, loved and admired. There is nothing wrong with that. Men used to be portrayed like that in movies. Even young males knew that’s what they wanted to be like when they grew up.

How is Trump disdainful of black people?

I know it’s a liberal meme that Republicans are racist and sexist and all of that. But what laws or policies of Trump are racist?

Correct. They don’t want to be a mincing little faggot like Lemon.

I always figured that black folks for the most part couldn’t identify with the the Warren Buffet way of working hard to make a pile and not enjoying it. Donald Trump is “Really Rich”, and he is not ashamed to enjoy being really rich.

Some of Trump’s conspicuous displays of wealth, in my opinion, border on self-deprecating, and though Trump loves himself plenty and has plenty of narcissistic tendencies, DOES NOT do it at the expense of appreciating other people. He has a “Richie Rich” schtick, and is happy to mic it up with hawking every product under the sun, WWWE, and reality TV.

Trump is loving life. Loves his country. Loves the good people in it. Wishes well to other countries without wanting to be responsible for their well-being. He has made many bad choices in personnel in party because, despite his sharp elbows in business, he is NOT jaded and cynical, and has gotten taken by those who were dishonorable, hypocritical, and in some cases a little crazy (Scaramucci).

Getting dangerously close to the truth, they are (white envy).

Trump reminds me of the 1940s men who came back from the war. They were strong and capable...and KNEW it. They drove the country and it absolutely thrived for the next three decades.

It is not so much they like Trump. They don’t like the policies, giving jobs and benefits to illegal aliens, etc.

I knew this in 2016. Trump was kind of the ultimate rapper’s fantasy lifestyle, lots of cash and bling, beautiful women, flashy accessories, riding in style from one swank party to another. I was mildly surprised he didn’t get more of the black male vote then.

“What do you make of that? What do you make of black men, as disdainful as Trump is to black people?”

Reid and Lemon and black leaders, and many democrat leaders, are the ones trying to define Trump's policies and feelings towards blacks and women and the LGTBQ+ community. Reid and Lemon and most democrats have gotten away with their definitions of what Trump is up to, but, thinking black men appear to not be listening to that krap.

Independent 'thinkers' cannot be hoodwinked, and it makes Reid and Lemon become insane and wanting to string up those 'stupid black men'.

Oh, the horrors! Says Reid.

A lot of them said I liked [Trump] because he gave me the stimulus check. I am like, that did not come from Donald Trump. His name was on it. It came from a Democratic Congress and Nancy Pelosi.

The bad news: I'm glad Lemon cleared this up because that stimulus check was simply an attempt to buy votes and it helped to drive up inflation. The good news: They think Trump did it, so the Dems didn't even get credit for it.

These two a@@clowns work for the demonrat (white) owners of the govt. plantation- built around making totally dependent people in their voting block. Notice how the “reason” is the money “given” away by Trump— not the tools for independent generation of their own income. Getting out of the trap of welfare Statism the dems need to control all Americans.

Ben Carson has spoken eloquently about this- in front of many audiences, including the ultra morons on The View (calling Behar a huge liar to her face- on live tv, in fact). Lemon and Reid are trying to manipulate defeatism on black people. Generationally this is no longer working on them, and they are freaking out.
