Donald Trump offered a “new deal” to African Americans in a speech at the McGlohon Theatre at Spirit Square on Wednesday afternoon, packing hundreds of supporters into the former Baptist church, an unusually small arena for the GOP nominee.“Today I want to talk about how to grow the African-American middle class, and provide a new deal for black America,” Trump began. That “new deal” rests on three pillars — “safe communities, great education, and high-paying jobs” — and one principle: “America first.” Trump’s pitch to African Americans has been drawing some support. The most recent poll in Pennsylvania showed Trump winning 29% of the black vote, and 30% of the Hispanic vote, in the Keystone State. “Here’s the promise I make to you: whether you vote for me or not, I will be your greatest champion. We live in a very divided country, but I will be your greatest champion,” he said. “Our opponent represents the rigged system and the failed thinking of yesterday,” he said, adding that Hillary Clinton’s campaign represented pessimism. “She’s been doing this for thirty years, and for thirty years it’s only gotten worse.” Trump’s voice, slightly hoarse, brightened when he described his “movement” — “there’s never been anything like it in this country,” he said. He described the opportunity for change in the political system as “once in a lifetime. ”He went on to describe the many sacrifices made by African Americans for the country — and the dire state of the community today. Now why I say this is the first deal for black America, is simply because this is a road map for true success and safety for Americas black communities. Like Trump has stated before politicians only express care for black America during political season, and black America doesn't see them for the next four years. Politicians since the 1960's have promised black America change during political season, but they have never shown up to help black America...And since then black America has only experienced torn down communities and despair. Black America it is time for a change and to give something new a chance, because the Democratic plantation has never ever delivered on their promises...And remember that Trump is not a politician, and has helped black America on multiple occasions since he's been a man of business. It's time to make Americas Black communities great for the first time in American history, and Donald Trump has just expressed his hope for black people in America. Donald Trump has the back of black America like no other political leader in history since Lincoln. Black lives don't matter to the Democrat plantation...Only they're votes do.
