Trump Tells Black Voters That Democrats Take Them for Granted

President Donald Trump appealed to Black Americans to help re-elect him, telling them in a speech Friday that Democrats -- whom African Americans are poised to overwhelmingly support in November -- take their votes for granted.

“They want to take the Black voter for granted and they have taken the Black voter for granted,” Trump said in a speech in Atlanta on Friday where he announced a plan to promote economic policies to benefit Black Americans.

“I did more for the Black community in 47 months than Joe Biden did in 47 years,” Trump said, promising to create 3 million jobs for Black people, open 500,000 Black-owned businesses and start a “national clemency project” for people serving unduly long prison sentences.
