Many who saw the riots of the 1960’s and 1990’s say the current climate makes those days look like a picnic in terms of riots and protests. However, President Trump stays strong in his stance that things today are better than ever with his term for the black nation.
Although he is hated by many, Trump still has a strong base across the United States. “My Admin has done more for the Black Community than any President since Abraham Lincoln. Passed Opportunity Zones with @SenatorTimScott,” he writes, positioning himself alongside a legendary American figure. “Guaranteed funding for HBCU’s, School Choice, passed Criminal Justice Reform, lowest Black unemployment, poverty, and crime rates in history.”
Despite claiming that “the best is yet to come,” many were taken aback by his invocation of President Lincoln, who actively helped abolish the Civil War and ended slavery in America through the Thirteenth Amendment. Given that Donald Trump’s handling of the George Floyd protests have been divisive, to say the least, it’s likely that his words will be used against him by those hoping for change. Check out his tweet below.

There seems to be a split among people with the always controversial Donald Trump.
Trump called black NFL players sons of bitches for taking the knee to fight police brutality. He denied fair and equal housing to African Americans. He falsely accused President Obama of being born in Kenya and used that racist birther clout to run for President. Trump is racist.
