Donald Trump allegedly said, “the Blacks” hate him despite “all this stuff” he’s done for the Black community.
A book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender includes a section about a time when Donald Trump accused the Black community of not liking him and claimed he made political moves during his presidency to benefit Black people, seemingly suggesting that his alleged good deeds should have won over the community.
“I’ve done all this stuff for the Blacks-it’s always Jared telling me to do this,” Trump told an associate on Father’s Day 2020, according to the book. “And they all f— hate me, and none of them are going to vote for me.” According to Yahoo! News, the excerpt comes from Bender’s book titled “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost.”
In addition to that revelation, the book also details the rise and fall of Trump’s relationship with his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Kushner was Trump’s senior advisor who pushed for criminal justice reform and tried to bridge a connection between the leaders of the Black community and the White House.
The book goes on to detail how Trump allegedly blames Kushner for pushing criminal justice reform only for it to not result in more of the Black community supporting him. It also includes Trump’s move to call in aggressive force on peaceful protestors, his private thoughts after viewing the murder of George Floyd and more. “Frankly, We Did Win This Election: The Inside Story of How Trump Lost” comes out August 10.
“I’ve done all this stuff for the Blacks—it’s always Jared telling me to do this,” Trump said to one confidante. “And they all fucking hate me, and none of them are going to vote for me.”
