Trump gloats over Blacks who did not turn out tovote

On a “thank you” victory tour across the country Friday, President-elect Donald Trump claimed that low voter turnout among African Americans helped him win on Election Night.

“The African American community was great to us,” Trump said at an evening stop on his “USA Thank You Tour” in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “They came through big league. And frankly, if they had any doubt, they didn’t vote. And that was almost as good. Because a bunch of people didn’t show up, because they felt good about me.”

Trump also thanked the Latino community and women.

“And women,” he said. “My goodness. We did great with women, so I want to thank women.”

3% Black Women
16% non-white women
25% Hispanic women

Yeah. "Good with women". Because minorities aren't people apparently.

Also don't be fooled. This is just to distract us from Russia.

Donnie, because people didn't show up to vote for you doesn't mean they felt good about you. It is much more likely they despise you, as do I.
