tRump's $500B Black America Plan

I'm amazed there's been so little commentary on this.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-plan-for-black-america

TRUMP 2020 CAMPAIGNPublished 8 hours ago
Trump $500B Black America plan designates KKK, Antifa as 'terrorist organizations'
The plan calls for making lynching a national hate crime


The president is expected to tout the plan as “a bold vision that we can and will achieve over the next four years.”

The president’s plan, according to the campaign, will increase access to capital in Black communities by almost $500 billion, help to create 500,000 new Black-owned businesses, and help to create 3 million new jobs for the Black community.

What a hoot.

Fox News obtained a copy of the "Platinum Plan." It states that it will “prosecute the KKK and ANTIFA as terrorist organizations and make lynching a national hate crime.”

The president’s plan also vows to make Juneteenth a national holiday.


He held a hate rally in Tulsa a day after Juneteenth. Harris and Booker already had a bill for anti lynching. A day late a a dolllar short.

hopefully, it won't be one of those holidays where only bureaucrats and postal workers get the day off, like Presidents Day or Columbus Day. I hope business will adopt it, too.
