CHARLOTTE — Donald Trump on Wednesday pledged what he called a “new deal for black America” as he attempted to make late inroads with a voting bloc that polling shows favors Democrat Hillary Clinton by a vast margin.

“I will be your greatest champion,” Trump said during an campaign rally here. “I will never ever take the African American community for granted. Never, ever.”

In a scripted speech heavy on policy specifics, the Republican presidential nominee laid out a plan that he said is built on setting up better schools, lowering crime in inner cities and creating more high-paying jobs.

He told the largely white audience that “massive numbers” of black Americans have been ignored and left behind, and he blamed Democrats and Clinton for the “crippling crime and total violence” in the nation’s inner cities.

Trump continues his habit of making pitches to minority communities before mostly white audience. Next up, a trip to a Baptist Church to reach out to the Jewish community?

1. Let me guess, they are going to steal votes in black areas to rig the Senate.

All this bullshit is cover to switch 10% of the vote in Dem strongholds.

2. Never "for granted"?

He will be their fuher, too.

An equal-opportunity despot.

You've told so many fibs nobody will believe you anymore...except your deplorable followers! If he said the world was flat and the sun revolved around the earth, they'd believe it! Maybe the Milky Way Galaxy too!

6. "He told the largely white audience.."

This speech was clearly not meant for black audiences.

7. The best line about him I've ever heard

was from Seth Myers at one of the correspondence dinners "Trump said he has a great relationship with the Blacks. Though unless the Blacks are a white family, I bet he's mistaken." I rolled when I heard it. So priceless. So true.

8. Never ever, ever

Yeah and I have a bridge to sell you.

9. Says the bigot who's sending "poll watchers" to black neighborhoods.

Is that the "new deal"? Voter intimidation and suppression?
