In the 2016 presidential election, only 8% of Black Americans voted for President Trump.

That was 2016. Since President Trump’s inauguration, he has made huge strides in helping the Black community—and they’re taking note.

Two new polls by Rasmussen and Emerson College are showing that 34% of Black Americans say they approve of the job  Trump is doing as President.

According to The Gateway Pundit, if Donald Trump captured only 25 percent of the African American vote he would win the 2020 election in a landslide.

Thanks to President Trump’s policies, Black Americans are experiencing historically low unemployment numbers.

Thanks to President Trump’s historic “First Step Act,” Black Americans imprisoned for non-violent crimes are getting a second chance. 91.3% of the people who received retroactive sentencing reductions due to the passage of the First Step Act were black.

Prominent Black figures in America, like Candace Owens and Dr. Ben Carson, are asking Black Americans to open their minds and stop voting for Democrats who’ve done nothing to help them in decades. Mega-rapper Kanye West was one of the first prominent members of the black community to publicly announce his support for President Trump.
