Trump's claim he did more for African Americans than any president is patently absurd.

Abraham Lincoln freed them and Lyndon Johnson ensured they could vote, stay wherever they want, go to the restroom wherever they want, and live wherever they want. Trump is trying to undermine the fourth. I have lived in suburbs almost all my life. There have always been people of all colors living in them. It's an insult to folks living in the suburbs when Trump believes he can garner their votes by scrapping fair housing rules. It's also an insult to people of color.

I hope Joe blasts Trump on that in the debates, that Trump thinks so little of Americans that he believes they don't want to live with other Americans of another color. If Trump wants to live exclusively among other orange people he can start his own colony.

Like a parrot, he'll relentlessly repeat this nonsense about race over and over until people finally give in to his lies.

Many times he's telling you what he's doing by doing this. It's one of his tells. Like proclaiming mail in voting is corrupt, while he has people planning trying to corrupt mail in voting when they can.'t stop it.
