uh, like, everything.
Washington (CNN)Donald Trump on Friday continued his outreach to African-American voters, presenting them with a stark question: "What the hell do you have to lose?"
Speaking in Dimondale, Michigan, Trump lamented the collapse of American manufacturing and criticized free trade deals as he laced into Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, saying they had taken black voters for granted.
"You're living in poverty, your schools are no good, 58% of your youth are unemployed -- what the hell do you have to lose?" Trump asked the audience.
He accused Clinton of wanting to give jobs to refugees rather than unemployed African-Americans in the US, saying they have "become refugees in their own country.
