Trump Says Black Voters Love Him

By Rob Redding

NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2025, 2 p.m. — Former President Donald Trump yesterday told a Pennsylvania crowd that Blacks Love him.

Trump’s trip to Pennsylvania was to talk about the economy, but things took an unexpected turn.

"Black people love Trump. They know a scam better than anybody," the Republican told the crowd.

His controversial comments immediately sparked backlash and ignited debate across social media and the community.

The comments came as he described Somali immigrants and Somali Americans, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, as “garbage,” sparking widespread outrage.

He also made racially charged remarks, including telling four Congresswomen of color — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib — to “go back to your countries,” a statement widely condemned as racist.

His administration opposed police reform efforts, rolled back civil rights protections, and criticized the Black Lives Matter movement as a “symbol of hate.”

Trump has also declared that “DEI is dead” after reports showed only a small share of about 15 percent of Black voters supported him in the last election.
