In 2016, I had a straightforward question for Black Americans: “What do you have to lose?
Black Americans don’t have to ask what they have to lose in 2020. Instead, the question should now be, “how much more do we have to gain?”
As your President, I’ve done more for the Black community than Democrats like Joe Biden have done in 47 years, and we are going to do so much more. As part of our efforts, we’ve unveiled my second term agenda called the “Platinum Plan” for Black Economic Empowerment, to ensure even more Black Americans have the opportunity to succeed over the next four years.
The plan is built around the pillars of opportunity, security, prosperity and fairness. I’ve committed to adding 3 million new jobs for the Black community, creating 500,000 new Black-owned businesses and increasing access to capital in Black communities by almost $500 Billion to create an era of new prosperity and to finally close the wealth gap.
We are increasing access to capital and economic empowerment for the Black community as a way to build Black generational wealth.
I knew that I could do more for Black America than the Democrat Party has ever done because I am about action. In fact, it’s the Democrats who exploit the sympathies and trust of Black Americans with false promises and empty rhetoric.
Since I became your President, I’ve fought for all Americans. Unlike the D.C. political establishment, which looked out for only a small group of elites at the expense of working families — my Administration is empowering all Americans with an agenda that puts you first, because I care.
The unemployment and poverty rates for Black Americans hit record lows just before we were attacked by the China Virus. Wages are now growing faster than they have in over a decade, especially for blue-collar workers.
My Administration is fighting to stop illegal immigration, which hurts Black communities, protect school choice, giving parents more options to access better schools for their children, create new and high-paying jobs, and increase investment in low-income areas — these initiatives create unprecedented opportunities for long-forgotten communities across the country.
I was also honored to work with U.S. Senator Tim Scott to create the Opportunity Zones program established through the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which has already attracted $75 billion in new private investments and created 500,000 new jobs in struggling, underserved communities.
When it comes to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), it was my honor to be the first sitting President to invite all HBCU leaders to the White House, address the HBCU Week Conference and permanently fund these important schools through the FUTURE Act.
I am proud that we also passed landmark criminal justice reform to undo the damage of mass incarceration. This is helping people, who in many cases have served harsh sentences for non-violent crimes, to have a second chance at their American Dream. This is widely viewed as one of the greatest bipartisan victories in a long time, and a testament to what we can achieve together.
When there was increased violence and deaths in Democrat-controlled cities, we started Operation Legend, after young LeGend Taliferro and we are seeing results. When lawless criminals kept looting, burning and destroying Black businesses and communities, I said we needed peace, law and order in these same cities to keep communities, and families safe.
In Black communities across the nation, there’s been a reckoning to the reality that the Democrats have failed them for generations. D.C. Democrats are happy to leave urban communities mired with failing schools, no jobs and lost hope while wasting time and taxpayer money on baseless and partisan politics.
The truth is this: Democrats despise my America First agenda because it broke up their taxpayer-funded gravy train that enriched their friends and families, shipped jobs overseas, supported illegal immigrants and continued endless wars while leaving Black American families high and dry.
I will continue to work with any and all Americans who want to Make America Great Again by bringing back American jobs, improving our schools, building safer and more prosperous communities and reuniting families through meaningful justice reforms.
When I promised to stand for the forgotten men and women of this country—whether they live in Chicago or Charlotte, Detroit or Dubuque, or if they are black or white—I meant it. And that’s exactly what I’ve done.
So, I ask you to examine my record and consider voting for me to continue to fight for you, as your President, for four more years.
Thank you Mr. President Trump, for ALL that you have done for the black community.
Those blacks in the know, those really awake (or “woke” if you prefer), are fully aware of what your policy victories that concern NOT ONLY blacks, but patriotic Americans in general, have meant to the economic and social well being of Americans.
I refer to those blacks that still insist on advocating for the democrat party , as those still trapped on the democrat “plantation” – the word plantation specifically, and everything that word signifies and represents, is what the democrat and liberal party represents to black Americans today in 2020.
Being “black folk” is totally different than those supporting a liberal Marxist agenda (BLM) – they should be considered “crackfolk”!
Thank you Michael you are a American Patriot.
You will be one of many that will help our President help the black community. It’s long past time that we all wake up to the corrupt politicians that’s running these democrat cities. 🙏🇺🇸💙
This is just a last minute, political ploy of falseness that Donald Trump is “playing”-Again! It is infantile, desperate and corrupt-Fact like everything else Donald Trump and 99% of all politicians, they are men of lawlessness (2Thess 2:3-10). I don’t know what kind of “Christians” I am seeing writing these replies but your words show your fruit and it is by your fruit I see your heart—“crackpots” REALLY? THESE WORDS SHOULD NOT COME FROM A CHRISTIAN HEART. Words like these comes from a heart of sin-hatred, disgust and possibly racism seeping from darkness of your hearts. Be careful, you may not be saved……You may have backslidden and now have only a form of godliness remaining (religion and traditions).
FYI: I am not a Black American, I am a Christian first, of African heritage, second, who happens to live in America- third. Education: There are all shades of color with different deposits of melanin in the skin, My Right: I refuse this forced label. Let’s stop letting Satan lead us around by our fleshly & soulish senses, attitudes, desires, cravings, prejudices, feelings and repent. “For what shall it profit a man or woman if he or she gain the world (or hope to do so) and lose his soul. (Matthew 16:26) Lets NOT our trust in ANY man who will perish as we all will (Psalms 146:3) but in God who can destroy both the body and soul in hell (Matthew 10:28)
Love you and praying for you ALL- Do we ever need God’s intervention!
Our trust should be in God and not man. Don’t make Trump or any politician an idol. God hate idolaters. Make sure your heart is pure (Ps 124) and take the beam (plank) out of your own eyes then you will see clearly the speck in others’ eyes (Matthew 7:5) Finally, my friend,
3 Do not put your trust in princes (rulers, presidents, elected officials-saved or unsaved),
in human beings, who cannot save.
4 When their spirit departs, they return to the ground;
on that very day their plans come to nothing.
5 Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
6 He is the Maker of heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them—
he remains faithful forever.
7 He upholds the cause of the oppressed
and gives food to the hungry.
Who is making Trump an idol? His op-ed merely lays out his successes and what he hopes to do in the future. Every point stated above can be confirmed with just a little bit of objective research. BTW, it is not man’s right to judge. That privilege is reserved for God, and my mediator is Jesus Christ who sits on the throne and purchased me with his blood.
What a joke
What an idiot!
Tbh a lot more content and less condescension here than from the other side. I don’t trust any US mechanism of power, but I’m tired of being talked to like the Democrats talk to people. And the endless hypotheticals and insincere promises. And stoking fear without any intention of really doing better.
In the same spirit of the original message, I say… me too.
Grace and Peace to all.
Black people have been conned by Democrats for the last100 years, literally, and are starting to realize they have been used every election year. It was the Dems Thant held back legislation favoring minorities; it was Dems that fought against freeing black people from slavery during the mid and early 1800s only to be freed by a Republican, Abe Lincoln, and then Dems that fought to hold Blacks hostage post civil-War by denying them voting by tests; Dems did everything they could at the turn of the century through the to the 1950s, and then voted against civil rights bills until the 1960s when it was the Republicans finally pushed it through. Joe Biden supported the KKK and praised Senator Byrd, a KKK leader, when Byrd retired.
It was the Dems that broke up the Black family by making them dependent on welfare rather than give them real jobs. And then they divided them with Affirmative Action by telling tHem they could not measure up to other people and stifled them in poor schools, and now they want to perpetuated their poor schooling by not allowing choice.
Yes, Black people have been conned for years and are starting to realize it. Wake up America. Vote for Trump and turn things around!
Mostly everyone can hear but everyone can’t read don’t beful by sound of a man watch out for a man but his out in a letter that nobody sees until now wow trickery come all kind a ways I got my man
BIDEN
Once we’ve re-elected our beloved President…our country will come together as never before to kick COVID’s ass…and restore jobs, prosperity, and growth for ALL Americans! Let’s get this done on Tuesday, November 3rd! GOD bless America…land that we love!
Sounds like you have made him a “god” or at the very least an idol. The word of God tells us about how God hate idolatry. Are you sure you are a Christian?
DJT, Great letter. Write a similar letter to the legal immigrants in our country. Let them know you care and you want to protect them from the lawlessness and despair they have left behind.
It is blatantly obvious that he did not write this. There are no phrases IN ALL CAPS. Once again the soon-to-be ex-President tries to gaslight Black voters, failing to mention his laundry list of racist tweets and policies while touting all of his “action” for the Black community. This Tuesday we are choosing compassion over hate, promise over surrender, and leadership over tweeting. We are choosing Joe.
No we are NOT voting for Joe. You may be doing that. But you are ONE of the few. Trump has done so much for this country. WE LOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP!! Thank you Mr. President! God Bless You and God Bless America!
Go ahead and choose the man who said “Poor kids are just as smart as white kids,” “Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black,” “Unlike the African-American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly diverse attitudes about different things,” “You got the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” (That’s in reference to President Obama.)
Go ahead and vote for “Joe” and prove LBJ correct when he said he’d have black people (I cleaned it up) vote Democrat for 200 years.
One more thing. Did you know the Democrats created the KKK and Jim Crow laws, lynched 4,000 black men between 1867 and 1950, created the “separate but equal ” segregation of the SOuth that existed until 1964? Did you know robert Byrd, a Democrat Senator, for 41 years, was a Grand Kleagle of the KKK?
Enjoy your plantation. YOu’ve earned it.
That’s sad you think this way… As a courtesy you will choose the losing side but will benefit from the winning side of Donald J Trump. I pray YOU do some research and that God will have mercy on you for choosing evil over good. May God bless your MInD and eyes that Jesus will open them. Trump is America’s avenue to get back align with God.
The black vote is in a position to break the D party’s stranglehold on the AA community which they have held hostage for over 50 years. The president’s overwhelming support for the AA community’s economic, educational, and political development and transformation will be the story of the election that’s now just 2 days away. May it be so
I am a white southern man of 57 years. I have never seen a politician do for America what this business man has done. I voted for Trump in ’16 and will again in ’20. I’m in industrial construction and I worked all I wanted to during the last 4 years. I saw plenty of minorities on the sites I worked too. When people of any background have the opportunity to get up and go to work, it cuts way down bad behavior. Trump won’t even accept the salary he’s due. That’s somewhere in the range of half a million a year. To have a successful company or country you must invest in it. He’s doing that for all of us, not just minorities. Yea, I’d crawl over broken glass and rattlesnakes to cast my vote. You can put that in “Ripley’s believe it or leave it alone”.
You have my support, as that of over half the voting population. We are with you 100%. Win, then drain the swamp, starting with the alleged(?) Biden Crime Family, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler (the fool), and the useless senate nitwit (sorry I Joe Bidened his name). You are loved, respected and admired forever!!
That was well written, definately had a Trump vibe to it tho haha Four more years! 😀 👌 This man cares, about America. Thats all you need to know, he is gonna do whats best for the country he loves and that has made him great, and hes gonna make America great again!
Great job DW for showing this letter, I admire truth no matter what political stance one takes, but I’m certainly voting for the right party!
Bull shit he is not going to do shit once he wins it is only a lie
Sabrina, he’s already done it.
Hes already done far more than any democrat has done especially joe biden. Trump has been deeply involved with helping the black community for decades while Joe biden was fighting for segregation and wanting to keep black kids away from his white children. Joe biden has a deep history of tearing down black America he has never done anything good for them and doesn’t plan to. Ps Kamala isnt black and she also destroyed the lives of many black Americans keeping them imprisoned and using them for free labor and getting paid for them. She literally used them as slaves…
Where is your evidence? I am an African American with wide range of of education, travel and experience. I’ve lived over 50 years in this country and survived, tell me my friend where is your evidence of Trumps help for African Americans
Sabrina,
I highly suggest you stop listening to CNN and the other corrupt media, else you would know what amazing things Trump has done for ALL Americans. He is the least racist person in all of American politics. He is a man of honor, dignity, and respect. He was doing just fine making billions in private business; he gave up a lot to serve America, and he does it because he truly loves this Country and it’s people. He is not full of empty promises. CNN makes him out to be a liar but they are the evil ones, with an agenda of hate and division. Storos (aka author of confusion and division) is paying for these Antifa riots and then blaming it on Trump, but if you believe the Word of God, you will see that everything that is done in secret is going to be revealed publicly. That goes for both Trump’s good deeds, as well as the evil deeds of career politicians that have built multi-million dollar fortunes out of corruption and backhanded deals (how do you think they grew fortunes like that on $150,000 annual salaries?) My prayer is for righteous leaders to arise! Trump is a first born of many, because this has become the cry and the prayer of the American church – a church of united brothers and sisters, black and white sisters and brothers who have the same Father in Heaven, and under whose law are all created equal. So vote for the man who has done more for religious liberty and freedom than any leader before Him. He will protect you while the Democrats will sacrifice you on the altar of power and corruption.
The democrats have kept communities, particularly the white and black communities, apart for too long. One minute estranged from our black, brown, asian and native brothers and sisters is a minute too long. The identity politics of the left (and at times from the right) only serve the elite, ruling class of politicians by keeping us focused on hating each other, dividing us with the polarized two party system to keep us weak and helpless. They don’t want us unified, they don’t want us to make progress on our own, because then we wouldn’t need them anymore. Every American citizen has a future and stake in the America First Party. Not because we have no compassion for the rest of the nationalities or immigrants but just the opposite. If we want to fix the world, we have to start by cleaning our room, by fixing America First. We may disagree on this policy or that platform, but we all fundamentally agree… We ALL deserve better. No more incarcerations for victimless crimes, crimes without victims are, at their core, not suitable to be called crimes let alone justification for a ticket to prison. No more rules for me and not for thee; politicians and the elite use our world, country, and communities like their own personal playgrounds and us as their own personal playthings. All the while they tell us to do as we are told or suffer retaliation from the state, enforced by police that were supposed to protect us and every citizens rights. The misuse of law enforcement is the fault of the state not the officer, we need to understand that. In turn, the officer must understand that there is no excuse being complicit in the abuse of our constitutional rights and that upholding those rights are the single most important part of being an officer, state be damned. No more corrupt, career politicians. No more being told what to think, who to love, or how to be. We own this country, we command our commanders, and if they don’t like it… well, then it’s time to remind them, as is our duty. Thank you, Mr President, for throwing the division into disarray, and snapping us out of our indentity groups. I’m ready to stand with my fellow Americans, for all of our betterment, and get this country back on track. The world needs our strength, perserverance, our lust for freedom to lead them out of the darkness… I am ready; let us stand together and let us kneel for no man.
Despite the forces against President Trump the last 4 years; Bob mueller, spygate, deep state, FBI, CIA, impeachment, China virus, and so much more, he had accomplished more both domestic and foreign than not than Biden in 47 years or compared to any other president.
With his landslide victory by November 4, the success we will have for the next 4 years would be much more than the last 4.
Yes, Trump on steroid.
Yes, the most important election of our lifetime.
WOW another great big distraction! These men Trump Biden Harris they are all pawns in a game. “We The People” are not even playing the game we get to watch and pretend our opinion matters.
The real men who run the world are BIG CHILLIN and do not care about humanity at all. Wake the fuck up and do something for yourself seriously because no one else cares about you like you do.
