while pledging to make Juneteenth a federal holiday

On Friday, President Trump pledged to increase economic opportunities for Black Americans with a $500 billion measure aimed at creating 3 million new jobs and 500,000 new black-owned businesses, according to Forbes.

"I'm here today to announce a brand-new plan to deliver more opportunity, more security, more fairness, and more prosperity to Black communities," Trump said in his address at a Georgia campaign event. "We call it the Platinum Plan, and that's a contract with Black Americans."

The event featured two of Trump's most prominent Black supporters, Ben Carson, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Herschel Walker, the former NFL player.

In his speech, Trump described himself as a friend to the Black community who would make investments in treatments for kidney disease, diabetes, and sickle cell. He also pledged to continue the economic gains that occurred under his administration before the coronavirus pandemic reached the US.

[MineralMan]

3. Yeah, folks are going to buy that crap...

23. I think its a ploy

to goad Joe Biden into one-upping Trump by calling for reparations. I don't think Joe will take the bait, he's managed to avoid stepping on any land mines so far. It's just Trump's bullying way on display.

[OhNo-Really]

4. From the guy who reneged Paris & Iran Deals

And rolled back Clean Water Act,
attacks peaceful protestors,
bans POC immigrants,
cages children
And cheers White Supremacy

And lies 24/7

What % Of POC will believe this desperate boondoggle?

I’m guessing 0%

15. ... after 2030. Putin's whore is the fine print president

[Tom Rinaldo]

6. Remember the new "Middle Class Tax Cut" he announced he would enact weeks before the 2018 midterms?

He planned to introduce that bribe immediately after the 2018 election. Trump's idea of a bribe is to promise there will later be a bribe that never actually is delivered.

7. He thinks Black Americans are BooBoo the Fool.

Well, the few who support him are, but everyone else, nope.

[Brother Buzz]

8. Soon come, he'll start lying and tell us he was proposing this years ago....

[smirkymonkey]

9. I'm calling bullshit.

[Afromania]

10. nah buddy, no thanks.

[UCmeNdc]

11. Biden should come out with his own proposal for Black and Latino voters

Nullify Trump's proposal. Brag about it too!

[ProgRocknProgPol]

12. I don't know how long it has been up, but there is such a proposal on Joe's campaign page

https://joebiden.com/racial-economic-equity/

Unlike with Spanky, I believe Joe knows his plan inside and out and can summarize it well during the debates if it comes up.

[UCmeNdc]

16. I wonder if Trump saw this and suddenly announces his plan?

At any rate Biden needs to buy advertisement in Black and Brown areas to make sure people know about his plans and how his plans will benefit them. You better believe Trump will hype his plan even though we know it is all a lie. Just something to deceive voters into voting for him.

[beachbumbob]

13. lol, done nothing for 4 years and now he has a plan? Like with healthcare that we still don;t have

black americans are not stupid

[BComplex]

21. But this shows that HE thinks they're stupid! That anyone would believe this liar in chief?

Not a chance.

[uponit7771]

14. lol, he thinks sane or informed people still believe him

[stillcool]

19. Such a fool. If he hadn't...

tweeted so much, he might be able to con someone, but he's put all doubts to rest.

[GeorgeGist]

20. Why not a TRILLION?

[BComplex]

22. LOL!! Yeah...if you're going to tell a whopper, make it count!!
