Most of the rest of this consists of Tweets, and a bunch of them certainly contain language alerts. But the gist of them is that the government is persecuting Trump the way they are abusing a great number of black men (or so those black men feel), and those black men are not liking it one bit.We’re told ad nauseam that the Democrats’ political persecution of former President Donald Trump was engineered to gin up sympathy among Republican primary voters and guarantee him the nomination. In the general election, however, independent voters, disgusted with Trump’s "lawless” behavior, would align with Democrats and President Joe Biden would cruise to victory.
There are some serious flaws in this logic and they’re just starting to manifest.
The spectacle of Trump’s motorcade winding its way to the Fulton County Jail last Thursday, followed by the release of his "defiant” mugshot instantly catapulted him to "legend” status. It may have already gained him the sympathy of independents and even some Democrats.
But it has most definitely elevated his status in the eyes of the black men who lined the street as the motorcade passed. They see the mugshot as a symbol of "the man” sticking it to "the people,” a feeling they are intimately familiar with.
And just a small percentage gain in support among this important group could turn the election.
On Friday, rappers Chief Keef and Lil Pump showed their support for Trump on social media. Lil Pump posted his own mugshot next to Trump’s on Instagram with the caption, "Free Trump.” Chief Keef posted a photo of Trump flashing a gang symbol, saying, "he good in da hood” and predicted that if Trump ever gets convicted, he would "run the prison.”
Social media influencer @ImMeme0 said, "If that n**** Trump gets convicted of this crime, and can still run for president, I’m voting for his a**. I’m voting for that n****. I’m voting for him. …”
Perhaps the Democrats should have thought twice, or maybe even three times, before piling on Trump with those bogus charges?

If they are calling him a n***** that is a term of endearment for him now, meaning they seem him as one of their own.
I suspect a lot of blacks feel that way. And they no doubt remember that times were much better when he was President.
I've argued with many people who espouse the "reverse psychology" theory that the Dems want to run against Trump and so are doing all this to get him the nomination. I've always pointed out they are doing way too much, at the risk of actually causing a backlash. They need but ignore Trump, let the legal issues simmer rather than boil, and go after his opposition in the GOP instead of Trump himself. Then unveil the most spectacular charges they could right before the election in an October Surprise.
They way they have gone about all this does not comport with the reverse psychology plan but rather with desperate people throwing everything they had at the man.
It was bound to be noticed. Trump now enjoys honorary black status, a guy who eats fast food and carries a little too much weight and who is chased by The Man.
Even if Trump goes down the black community won't forget, and may not forgive. I see a move by them away from the Democrats over this.
Now is time for Trump to hold rallies in historically black communities and do some real outreach to them.
