Trump says his criminal indictments boosted his appeal to Black voters - eviltoast

Former President Donald Trump claimed Friday that his four criminal indictments have boosted his support among Black Americans because they see him as a victim of discrimination, comparing his legal jeopardy to the historic legacy of anti-Black prejudice in the U.S. legal system.

Trump argues he is the victim of political persecution, even though there is no evidence President Joe Biden or White House officials influenced the filing of 91 felony charges against him. Earlier in the week, Trump compared himself to Alexei Navalny, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s top domestic rival, who died in a remote Arctic prison after being jailed by the Kremlin leader.

“I got indicted for nothing, for something that is nothing,” Trump told a black-tie event for Black conservatives in South Carolina ahead of Saturday’s Republican primary. “And a lot of people said that’s why the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against, and they actually viewed me as I’m being discriminated against. It’s been pretty amazing but possibly, maybe, there’s something there.”

    Fox news told him black-voters like him because of this golden sneakers…

    So in his brain right now, he thinks black-voters like him,

    Thinking why that is, he knows black people historically were treated unfair by the court system, and apparently he is too,

    So he thinks himself a genius with smart gene’s that he linked those two thoughts together, and thinks that’s another reason why black-voters must like him.

    He’s been spitting out everything he can hoping some victimization will stick… Jew prosecution, Navalny, etc. Dude’s a moron, and I still can’t believe there are people dumb enough to be fooled by such low effort manipulation.
