Trump calls upon pro-Democratic black vote to switch to his camp

AFP, Atlanta
President Donald Trump on Friday sought to crack Democrats' solid hold on black voters, telling a gathering of African-Americans in Atlanta that the left has taken them for granted.
Trump hammered home his platform of fighting illegal immigration and using trade wars to rebuild the manufacturing base, saying that this especially benefits black communities.
He touted rock bottom unemployment of 3.2 percent across the country — even if it remains higher for blacks at 5.4 percent - and appealed to the "vital role of African-American churches.”
"For decades, the Democrats have taken African-American voters totally for granted," he said in Georgia's historic state capital.
"They're nice to you just before the election and then they forget about you," he said. "They get your vote and they say 'bye bye.'"
The launch of a “Black Voices for Trump Coalition" aimed to build on the president's bid to reverse decades of hostility from African-Americans to his Republican party.
The reality is that Trump is overwhelmingly opposed by black voters. While they comprise less than 14 percent of the overall population, their fierce loyalty to the Democratic party makes them a potent force in presidential elections.
In his 2016 triumph, Trump won only eight percent of the black
vote, compared to 88 percent for his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
And deepening that traditional Democratic-Republican split is fallout from Trump's repeated controversies on racial issues.
For years, he brazenly promoted the hoax conspiracy theory that then president Barack Obama, the first African-American to win the White House, was not born on LIS soil and therefore was illegitimate.
Early in his presidency, he caused uproar when he appeared to fail to condemn a march by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia, saying there were "fine people on both sides."
More recently, he attacked a revered black congressman, the late Elijah Cummings, by describing his heavily African-American city of Baltimore as "rat and rodent infested."
A Quinnipiac University poll in July found that 80 percent of African-Americans think Trump is racist.
"Black Americans have never had a better champion than President Trump," said Katrina Pierson, a Trump 2020 reelection campaign advisor, predicting that the new "black voices" coalition would help him to a second term.
As part of the charm offensive, Trump announced Friday on Twitter that he would be hosting the winners of a pro-Trump talent show dubbed #MAGACHALLENGE. Showcased in the tweet: a right-wing black rapper.
