'His mind is stuck in the 1950s': Trump looked into the camera with a straight face and told Black America exactly what he thinks their place is
A reporter asked the president about the disparity in job numbers for Black Americans. While the average unemployment rate is 4.3 percent, and it remained steady last month, too, the unemployment rate for African Americans is nearly double that at 7.3 percent.
Trump then launched into a tangent about “Black jobs,” a term he first used during an anti-immigration rant at the June 2024 presidential debate. Trump accused immigrants then of taking “Black jobs,” but he never specified then what those jobs entailed.
“Well, we’re doing very well with ah the Black jobs, African American jobs. We’re doing, I saw some numbers, we’re doing really well,” Trump insisted Thursday. He added, “But where we’re really going to do well is when all these plants are open. You know we’re building many car plants.”
“We’re bringing cars back from Germany. You know we lost the car industry years ago. Fifty-four percent of the industry went to Germany, Japan, Canada, Mexico. It’s all coming back. It’s amazing. And where your Black worker is really going to do well is when those factories open. So, I think they’re going to be great. We’ve been, it’s been a big focus for me,” he claimed after blatantly stereotyping Black people into manufacturing roles.
