Trump didn't create "opportunity zones" for black people. He didn't fund historically black colleges. He didn't pass a crime reform bill. He didn't denounce white supremacy. He just lied about these things and you believe him.

Where are these opportunity zones? Where are these educational opportunities, where was the crime reform, a fantasy. You are taking a known lier at face value. Why? I can just easily dismiss anything you say because Trump accomplished nothing all empty words.



Here's a list of the grants provided to opportunity zones.

Signed a bill instituting permanent funding for HBCUs.

>And under the Trump administration, federal funding for HBCUs has increased by more than $100 million over the last two years, a 17% increase since 2017.

The criminal justice reform bill was called the First Step Act.

Trump basically neutered every single thing you mentioned. It's a total joke, shooting down these bills then taking credit for them.

Use your critical thinking skills.


First you said he didn't do them, now you're admitting he was publicly bragging about helping black people. Progress.


Yes I admit he's a liar. Publicly he said both things. He just lost this election because his words were just empty nonsense designed to confuse.


We've come a long way. We started with the idea that he had said Nazis are fine people. We debunked that totally. Now we're all the way down to the much smaller claim that even though Trump consistently and publicly signals his support for black people you believe he is lying. Progress.


I just now believe people like you will support without question any comment he makes. It's just the type of cult-like brainwashing that I'd expect. Who cares if he openly praises police brutality? He "publicly signals" something else!

Listen to yourself talk. He a 100% said Nazis are fine people, you were debunked. As Trump would say "You know it, I know it, everybody knows it!"


Here's my compromise position.

Because of what Trump has done regarding Yemen he is a war criminal who deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life.

Also, he never once said Nazis are fine people.


Hey if you really honestly believe you're right why are you compromising? Progress :)
