    If President Biden couldn't say a word and he had to communicate with sign language I would vote for President Biden. 💙 The New York Times editorial board should resign and step down. No, President Biden shouldn't step down. The New York Times editorial board should be calling for Trump to bow out. Trump should step down or resign. The "black jobs" comment is offensive and stereotyping.
  • @MrStaybrown
    My family has doctors, realtors, teachers, small business owners, military members... so those are black jobs.
  • @MrSlicky77
    When people start feeling comfortable, they start showing who they really are.
  • Im an educated black man, my mother in Law is License owner of her care given company. my dad is a pharmacist, my uncle is a family medicine Doctor, my Aunty is A Nurse practitioner so those are black jobs too?? 😂 😊
  • @Hackshots68
    He's off his rocker. He doesn't care about Blacks nor Hispanics, and he definitely doesn't care about the Unions who've never endorsed him. He is nothing more than an opportunist.
  • @Orangebird725
    When he says Black jobs and Hispanic jobs, he's insulting both groups. He assumes they only have menial jobs. It's blatant racism.
  • What is WRONG with trump 😕?? How is he even allowed to run again 🤔. I'm NOT understanding 😢😢
  • @katfrazier4790
    I've been a nurse for over 50 years. What are black jobs?
  • @Nicole-bj4dv
    BLACK JOBS ARE REGULAR JOBS!!!!!!!! WE HAVE MASTERS DEGREES. WE ARE QUALIFIED TRUMP
  • I'm a simple white woman. Not rich, not poor. I was shopping at a store and needed assistance. A black woman, probably in her 30's was asking for a store clerk to get a department assistant to help her. So I figured I'd do my perusing of inventory and when I'm done I'll wait until she's done with the assistant. Well, 10 minutes later, she's sitting at the department's service desk on the phone, still waiting for an assistant. So I go find a store clerk and ask him if he could find someone who is covering this department to help me. 3 minutes later department supervisor shows up, looks at me and asks if he could help me. I point to the woman on the phone and tell him 'she's been waiting longer, she's first.' I have to wonder. Did I get assistance in the time it took the clerk call the dude on his walkie-talkie and the guy to drop what he was doing and walk over because I'm white? Because I know how racism works. It ticks me off. People, we are all rowing the same boat. We're all just trying to have a life. Respect that.

    Let me remind you that Trump labeled all BLM supporters as thugs and referred to the Jan 6 insurrectionists as patriots. He expressed a desire for NFL players who took a knee to be fired and deported from the US, despite their citizenship. He informed a black military widow that her husband was aware of what he signed up for. He also exclusively questioned the qualifications of Obama, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, and VP Kamala Harris, among others.
  • @KingKoopa1
    How is he not getting dragged all over the Internet for this mess?
  • @bigrita6267
    The Hispanics, Asians, and the rainbow coalition should be first in line to vote for Biden.
  • @earlaustin6025
    I would vote for a 2rd term for Jimmy Carter over Trump any day🎉🎉😂.
  • @jamelbrunson478
    Whats more of a worry to me is that blacks are voting for this guy . This is so serious above our imagination.
  • I am concerned about the high rent, poor school system. violence in the street, the elderly needing assistance and the homeless. 😢
