US EditionWhat's not being said about Trump's remarks about Black people and 'scams'
Trump cites a modest 15% Black voter support to justify racialized immigrant attacks while critics highlight rising Black unemployment and economic harm under his policies.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump spoke at a rally in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, saying `I got the biggest vote with Black people` and `They know a scam better than anybody`.
- Using immigration as a theme, President Donald Trump linked immigrants to Black job losses, saying they are "taking Black jobs" during a National Association of Black Journalists panel.
- Polling and economic data show only 15% of Black voters supported Trump in 2024, with 21% of Black men backing him while 92% of Black women voted for Harris amid a 7.5% Black unemployment rate and harms from cuts to Obamacare subsidies, Medicaid, and SNAP.
- Representative Ilhan Omar replied on X that `Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird`, while critics said his remarks pit Black and immigrant communities and harm working families.
- Historically, scholars note the GOP realigned after Barry Goldwater’s 1964 opposition to the Civil Rights Act, with Black voters averaging about 30% Republican support from 1936–1960, while analysts say Trump’s 2024 Black support remains far below pre-New Deal-era levels.
