THIS IS A DEMOCRAT’S PARTY WORST NIGHTMARE … TRUMP SUCCEEDING WITH BLACK AMERICA.
BET founder and Democrat Bob Johnson has nothing but words of praise for president-elect Donald Trump. Johnson stated that he did not believe that Trump was anti-African-American or a racist. This is certainly a different narrative than the liberal MSM has been spewing. It is a Democrat parties worst nightmare come true in Trump and Republicans make inroads with black America and the current black, Democrat monolithic vote is no more. Bob Johnson said he was offered a cabinet position, but turned it down.
“To me, I never thought Donald Trump, and I still don’t believe it today, was a racist. I don’t believe that he’s anti-African-American,” said Johnson, founder and chairman of The RLJ Cos. “For too long, the African-American community has been ignored by the Republicans because they thought we were always locked with the Democrats.”
Media mogul Bob Johnson, who met with President-elect Donald Trump earlier this month, told CNBC on Tuesday the post-election rally in the stock market has been a reaction to having a businessman in the White House.
The BET founder, a Democrat, also said on “Squawk Box” that he’s known Trump for years and believes Trump wants to work with African-Americans and all Americans to boost the economy.
“To me, I never thought Donald Trump, and I still don’t believe it today, was a racist. I don’t believe that he’s anti-African-American,” said Johnson, founder and chairman of The RLJ Cos. “For too long, the African-American community has been ignored by the Republicans because they thought we were always locked with the Democrats.”
Trump is not in either camp, Johnson said: “Certainly not an establishment Republican [and] he’s not a Democrat, he was open. And he’s a business guy. And business guys tend to look at where’s the opportunity for a benefit.”
The market is right to be optimistic about the possibility of Trump’s policy proposals kicking U.S. economic growth into a higher gear, said Johnson, who had supported Hillary Clinton during the campaign.
