President Trump on Friday made a direct appeal to Black voters with a slew of targeted policy pledges if he's reelected in November, including making Juneteenth a federal holiday and prosecuting the Ku Klux Klan as a terrorist organization.
Trump, speaking to supporters in Atlanta, unveiled what he dubbed the “Platinum Plan” for Black voters, outlining what a second term policy agenda could look like for African Americans. The plan leans heavily on economic proposals, such as tax cuts for minority-owned businesses, further focus on opportunity zones that encourage investment in low-income areas and additional money for broadband and internet access to foster job and educational opportunities.
Certain proposals, such as making Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery, a federal holiday would require congressional approval.
The campaign event, hosted by Black Voters for Trump, featured several prominent Black public figures, including Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson and Heisman Award winner Herschel Walker.

Campaign promises are novel to you?
Dudes gotta get reelected, unless you think Harris/Biden won’t give away the farm and additional rights we are trying to hold onto.

This is how democratic election system works, ie different promises to different voter groups. If he wins the only thing he needs to worry about is his legacy. Helping descendants of slaves to become successful is a wonderful legacy to have.

Reckon he will declare Black Lives Matter as a terrorist organization? Not just yet... he will start with the KKK as low hanging fruit... But after the next round of riots when Derek Chauvin is acquitted... YEPP.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Good for Trump.
I don't have a problem with any of that. Yeah, Juneteenth is a stretch, but it's gonna take a push to get Blacks off the Dem plantation. The Emancipator in Chief, is making strides with Blacks. If it gets him re-elected it's a win.

There's many, many Caucasian Trump voters out there today that are out of work because of the COVID crap.
When is their half a trillion dollars going to arrive?
Pandering to blacks to the tune of a half trillion dollars while they're out rioting in the streets is a stupid, stupid campaign strategy.
Whoever recommended it is a closet Biden supporter.

What's with this KKK chit. The KKK is a few tiny groups that make noise. They try to make them sound like they are riding like they did after the civil war.
The older I become the more I am convinced that the voice of honor in a man's heart is the voice of GOD.

such as tax cuts for minority-owned businesses Wonder if that’ll stick around when the minority/majority statistics change...?

Trump's dotted that 'i' and he'll be the better for it with Blacks. Things are at a tipping point with Blacks and the Dem party, hopefully this will inspire more defection.

He declared Antifa a terrorist organization too.

Reckon he will declare Black Lives Matter as a terrorist organization? He can't do that until he prosecutes Soros and all his hate America front groups and documents how all this garbage is being financed. Guarantee BLM is right in there in the web.

Republican candidates can pander to blacks in every way imaginable and they won't increase the black GOP vote by .05%. On the other hand, Republican candidates can cause a lot more than .05% of their base to lose interest in voting if they spend a lot of time flagrantly pandering to blacks. Especially these days. It's a numbers game for Republican candidates. The numbers don't favor pandering to the black vote.
