Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America

Black Men for Trump Advisory Board Joint Statement

President Obama's recent call for Black men to support Kamala Harris based solely on her skin color, rather than her policies, is deeply insulting. Black Americans are not a monolith, and we don't owe our votes to any candidate just because they "look like us."

It's demeaning to suggest that we can't evaluate a candidate's track record—especially when Kamala Harris has done more harm than good to Black communities.

For decades, the Democrat Party has promoted failed policies that disrupted generational wealth, undermined Black culture, and contributed to the breakdown of the Black household. These policies, instead of uplifting Black families, have held them back by promoting family instability, poor schooling, and lack of economic opportunity.

Reducing us to race-based voting blocs perpetuates the worst kind of identity politics. Harris' record, as Attorney General in California and as Vice President, is filled with policies that disproportionately harmed and imprisoned Black Americans. Yet, we are expected to overlook this simply because of her skin color. Black Americans deserve real, tangible wins rather than pandering racial appeals that ignore leadership and results.
 
The same people who told us Joe Biden was good for Black America 90 days ago are now pushing Harris. 
We need President Trump back in office because he delivered what no one else did—real results for Black America. He restored the American Dream by creating jobs, lowering Black unemployment, launching Opportunity Zones, and securing permanent funding for HBCUs. Under Trump, Black families had a shot at building wealth, breaking generational cycles, and thriving.

While Biden and Harris push empty promises, Trump brought action. He made America great before, and he's the only one who can do it again—for Black families and for this country.
