"Trump's Claims of Black Voter Support Linked to Indictments and Mug Shot"

Former President Donald Trump claimed in a speech to the Black Conservative Federation that the criminal cases he is facing have earned him support from Black voters, as they see the unfairness of the justice system reflected in his legal woes. He made express overtures to Black voters and suggested that they have warmed to him because they have been hurt and discriminated against. Trump has increasingly included mentions of Black voters in his speeches as he shifts his focus from the Republican primary to the general election, claiming that Black Americans fared better economically under his administration and asserting that the influx of migrants at the southern border is disproportionately hurting Black workers.
