Trump appeals to black voters: What do you have to lose?

Donald Trump is facing a new backlash for his attempt to get black voters to vote for him in the November election. At a campaign rally near Lansing, Michigan on Friday, Trump asked what African Americans have to lose by voting for him. Errol Barnett reports from Washington.

What they have to lose is their lives!

Biden: “You ain’t black”
Trump: “What do you have to lose?”

We have gained a lot.  Black unemployment level is now the lowest it has been in about 45 years.

[tylerarrington]

He’s right we don’t have jobs and thanks to him black employment rate is at an all time low

[kk]

Wow!!! Now it is 2018. The unemployment rate for black Americans has dropped, record lows, same for Hispanic. Trump is the boss.

[lawdhavemercy]

All these people who are supporting him after he just made a racist remark to the black community is disgusting

[jobnyangacha]

He said this to a predominantly white crowd... How does that make sense?

[DavidStewart-npcj]

This is his pitch for the black vote? I cant wait til he courts me with the Puerto Rican vote? "Your island sucks, its in debt, there's no jobs, its not a state, what do you have to lose?" At least i am half-white, so i am only half offended. Haha

I'm starting to like him more and more. He speaks the truth in an unpolitical way.

[thatbemefool]

Everyone missed the “UNDER DEMOCRATIC CONTROL” part 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[shaydior]

We lost a lot when u became president... this so racist even if it is true sad for u to say.

[inboxnews]

52% unemployment. What do they have to lose?

[casienwhey]

the amount of bias in this report against trump is amazing. They won't even attempt to be objective when it comes to anything he says, so much for journalistic integrity.

[nerfhsh]

i wonder if anyone came here from the meek mill song

[JuanJDuenas]

none of trump’s claims were examined. this was just coverage about manafort. if that’s what they wanted to cover, mentioning the rally was completely unnecessary

[mellochello]

All everyone can say is unemployment rates lmao. Black folks ate opening their own businesses now. It's too late. We have our dignity to lose

[kamp]

"Is already being called ignorant and heavy handed by his critics"

uhh.. you are his critics.. LMFAO!

[franzabananza]

OMG!! Errol Barnett!!! Wow!! I’m just now finding him again at almost 30, he used to be on Chanel One news when I was in middle school.WOW how crazy!

[mrrandom]

Well 3 years later, people realized that not only they had nothing to lose but they had all to win.

[Jake-Day]

Trump speaks the truth and some can't handle it.
