Trump steady belittling minorities as he wages 'war' against our communities. [View all]


"Mr. President, what are your plans for—" the reporter (Ebony McMorris) began...

"Quiet. You're really obnoxious," said Trump.

"I’m not obnoxious, but I’m trying to ask you what about your plans for Memphis," said (American Urban Radio Networks' White House news correspondent), as Trump continued to talk over her. "Many people want to know what the numbers are going to be like. What are your plans for Memphis, Mr. President?"

"You are really obnoxious," said Trump. "I'm not going to talk to you until I call on you." He then proceeded to direct his attention to other reporters.

...not coincidently, Trump had also personally attacked another black woman reporter, NBC News' Yamiche Alcindor at the White House as she questioned him about a social media post in which Trump threatened “war” in Chicago:

“Are you trying to go to war with Chicago?” Alcindor asked Trump on Sunday before he boarded Marine One to depart the White House for the U.S. Open men’s final match. Just a day before, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that “Chicago is going to learn why it’s called the Department of WAR.

When Alcindor attempted to get the president to explain his post, he fired back, “When you say that, darling, that’s fake news.” Alcindor quickly responded, “Well, why would you use the Department of Defense?”

“Listen. Be quiet. Listen. You don’t listen. You never listen. That’s why you’re second-rate,” said Trump

...despite all of pushing off and showing his ass against black professionals in media who are assigned to cover his presidency at the WH, about the question of his 'warring' on Democratic cities like Chicago and Memphis, Trump went on to admit that he was, in fact, gearing up as if to 'war' against states intended by the Constitution to be protected against the tyranny of the federal government.

Trump:

...we set ourselves up very well in Chicago, Memphis, uh, New Orleans a little bit, going in early just to see what was happening. You know, we study it.

We're studying the site. It's sort of like war. I mean, I hate to tell you...


America's president gearing up for "war" against Americans in Democratic-run cities.

Memphis is majority Black, with approximately 62.91% of its population identifying as Black or African American. This makes Memphis the largest percentage majority-Black city in the United States (48%), surpassing Detroit.

In 2020, the largest cities which had a black majority were Detroit, Michigan (population 639K), Memphis, Tennessee (population 633K), Baltimore, Maryland (population 586K), New Orleans, Louisiana (population 384K), and Cleveland, Ohio (population 373K), and the city with the largest black population was Chicago.

It's no coincidence Trump is targeting Democratically-run, black populated cities for invasion and occupation by our military forces, just like it's no coincidence he's targeting black women reporters to spew his most hateful and ugly rhetoric.
