Just throwing this out there re: Michael Symonette a.k.a. "Blacks for Trump" guy.

Yes, he's a leader of a cult that's been tied to various murders in the past. The website he advertises on his signs at rallies is full of absolutely bizarre and unhinged rambling conspiracy theories.....currently he's on a rant against the Cherokee tribe for God knows what reason. You can read some more about him here:

Now, I'll just throw this out as a matter of curiosity, and note I don't have any sort of proof yet, but....

Symonette's group is based near Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, which has a notorious reputation of being a hub for the Russian mob, including Russian mobsters who has specifically invested in Trump branded properties.

Symonette's group owns a waterfront mansion near Sunny Isles Beach, where they throw lavish weekly "jet ski parties" complete with musical entertainment open for public invitation. It also has numerous other real estate holdings, boats and luxury cars to its name.

I can't imagine his group having that many members where they have all that sort of liquid cash on hand. I would be very surprised if he wasn't being funded at least in part by some sort of organized criminal element. (Again, I'll add that there have been several murders surrounding the group.)

And I would think "investing" in a supposed religious organization might have its advantages due to the fact they could be shielded from tax liability.

No, I don't have any specific proof yet that Symonette is in collusion with the Russian mafia for money laundering operations. But it is indeed very...curious. And it might help explain why you always see Symonette standing behind Trump at all of his rallies.

that he gets a prominent site at most of trumps kkk meetings. Any reputable rally would bar him admission much less give him priority seating.
