Donald Trump don't give a damn about nobody but his self y'all scared to say that

[gloriahohman]

How disgusting and disturbing is this toxic spew from the Yeti...OMG wake up people!!!!

[davn]

Why am I the ONLY one who wants tr*mps trial’s televised? Yall know they about to be a hilarious shit show?

[_GeneralMechanics_]

The majority of the audience weren't even black.

[sandragibbs]

The country is being laughed at because of you donald!!!

[colerainfan]

He can lie to this group as well as any, so why not!

[coldgin]

I can't believe there is such a thing as black people supporting trump. You really need to do your research on the Trump family and how they treated black Americans.

[mattl]

I wonder if trump told them that if they don't vote for him, then they ain't black 😂 oh that was Biden? Yikes

[briangandee]

It was an outright lie that he brought more money to HBC's.. and no one is brave enough to call him on that.. pathetic..😢

[matthewa]

Pray for these people. They need Jesus more than most

[humangeneric-]

and by speak, you mean babble incoherently.

[marih]

I'll be looking for a LIST of every black politician in attendance, so I know who NOT to VOTE for!

[Frances]

Please, people, go find the full speech anywhere you can. See how the racism just spews out of his mouth. This reporter didn’t touch on any of it. Shameful reporting.

[doyilookidoyilooki]

He has said that America is being laughed at by the world. He will not talk about the role he has played adding to the many reasons they are laughing.

[LKCLifer]

I'm so proud to stand hand in hand with black Republicans. We stand stronger united, and the Demoncrats know this. MAGA 2024 🇺🇸

[harveycasey]

What did he say while he was up there? Something about black folks should like him because he has 91 criminal charges against him. WTF?!

[wendymartin]

There is video that shows more white people in the audience, lmao

[c.atoffer]

I knew a wine maker who sold a very nice red wine named " Black Republican" asked him why that name? He said "do you know how hard it is to find a Black Republican" Go figure!

[ljthirtyfiver]

“Look at my African American over there”

[FredrickMJones]

If you are African American, how many of you would have a job with the convictions and pending charges trump has? Also, since when did men who identify as women wanting to play sports become a major issue? If he wants to talk sports, how many of you can recall how many times the President said anything about the 1st amendment as it pertained to Kapernick? That's how many votes he should get from our community.
