President Donald Trump plans on making a stop in Atlanta to try to drum up some support for his re-election campaign, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The Black Voices for Trump coalition launch is kicking off Nov. 8 with a 3 p.m. rally at the Georgia World Congress Center. During the rally, Trump is expected to address the black unemployment rate and highlight a program in the Republicans’ 2017 tax-cut legislation that encourages investors to put money into underserved communities.
“Black Americans have never had a better champion than President Trump,” Katrina Pierson, senior advisor at Donald J. Trump for President Inc., wrote in a statement emailed to Newsweek. “The Black Voices for Trump coalition will be a national effort to mobilize and empower Black Americans who support President Trump to help get the message of ‘Promises Made, Promises Kept’ into communities across America.”
She added, “Under President Trump, unemployment for African Americans has reached historic lows and nearly 1.4 million new jobs have been added for African Americans. Black Americans’ strong support for President Trump will ensure a second term for the President.”
A senior White House official said Atlanta was selected for the launch because it is the center for African American life and culture in the United States. The official also highlighted Metro Atlanta’s fast-growing African American population as a contributing factor.
Trump is working hard for the "Black" vote (I hate the terms Black, White, blah blah - just a way to pigeonhole and divide people). No Democrat candidate can match his energy.
I fully support Trump and trust his judgment in executing his plan to clean out the Swamp. Many times I question Trump's statements and choices - but many times it works out in our favor in the end. He knows more about things than I do so I give him the benefit of the doubt. Doesn't mean he can do no wrong, just that he is doing yeoman's work for our country and so far has shown incredible patience, timing and knows how to operate in the real business world. I think he needs our unceasing prayers for guidance and protection.
