Good news black people living in America, Donald Trump really loves you.
We touched on that a little HERE, but to ensure everyone knows what I’m talking about I’ll go through the trouble of embedding the video.
Hey, look at my African-American over here.
Go on, skip to 37 seconds in:
He loves you – oh, and he’d love your votes too.
With that in mind let’s hear what CJ Pearson, a teenage political activist and National Chairman of Teens for Trump, has to say on TIME about why he supports the Orange Menace:
As a 14-year-old, I may not be able to vote in this election, but I am deeply invested in its outcome.
…many people in the “old guard” do not have the slightest understanding of the political philosophies of my generation.
I believe that the future of America is post-party politics. I hope that in 10 to 20 years, the near constant issue of partisanship will be a distant memory…
The policies of the Obama administration have done little to help people of color, yet Clinton has unwaveringly defended them at every turn. In a recent speech in Detroit, Trump pointedly said: “If Hillary Clinton’s goal was to inflict pain on the African-American community, she could not have done a better job.”
Trump’s message to young people of color is simple: what do you have to lose?
It’s here that one might interject, because everyone stands to lose if someone so ill-equipped for the role of president is voted in, but I’ll let CJ finish:
In my young optimistic eyes, after the last eight years of the Obama presidency, there is little left to lose. There is only room to do better, and there is only one goal: to make America great for every American.
Look, it’s obvious to anyone who pays attention that Hillary Clinton is not popular. She has a rap sheet of past indiscretions that cannot be overlooked, and even her most ardent of supporters might admit that her attempts to reach out to younger voters has been a cringe-fest.
But Trump, really? This CJ kid seems like he has his head screwed on straight, but for millions of other voters their reasons for wanting Donald at the helm are far more sinister.
P.S. if you’re wondering where that top image comes from, Roy Wood Jr wearing the wig, check out the rap video Trevor Noah and his buddies made using only Trump quotes.
