1. It doesn't portend to anything. Going from 8% to 15% is still incredibly low. That means 85% of the populace (at best) does not approve. In political terms that's ugly numbers no matter how you spin it. In reference Bush Jr, a republican, traditionally had 16% of the black vote...

2. I can't speak for American minorities but the numbers don't lie. The vast majority of minority voters do not support their current president.

3. What?

4. Being cautious of strangers is one thing but purposely separating yourself culturally because of prejudice is another.

5. See #4 above.

6. Yes, you can have a leader who's "unifying". Traditionally, American have always unified when given a common cause. Now, under this president, it's different. Divergent opinion is never bad, but that's not happening now. Never has the US been so partisan, even under Obama. The split in approval rating numbers suggests that.

What I can prove beyond doubt is that under current US federal laws, Donald Trump would be guilty of using discriminatory language that would label him a racist. Walks and talks like a duck so chances are he's a duck.

Gallup found that Trump’s approval rating stood at just 15% with black voters and 24% with Latinos immediately after he took office in 2017. Last month, the polling organization reported his approval with the same groups at 17% and 33% respectively.

More than doubling the support he had amongst blacks, adding around 10 points to support with hispanics.

Your link is broken.

I think your polling info is a bit out of date. I think COVID has changed minorities views of Trump. Here's a good site to look at current polling results:

http://www.apnorc.org/pro...Coronavirus-Outbreak.aspx

http://www.apnorc.org/pro...Coronavirus-Outbreak.aspx

Just 28% of Americans say they’re regularly getting information from Trump about the coronavirus and only 23% say they have high levels of trust in what the president is telling the public. Another 21% trust him a moderate amount.

But even as many Republicans question Trump’s credibility during the pandemic, the overwhelming majority — 82% — say they still approve of how he's doing. That’s helped keep the president’s overall approval rating steady at 42%.

Even with Republican's unquestioning devotion to Trump, his overall approval rating is still at historical lows. Lower than any of the last 5 presidents.

So, what does this suggest about minority support? Republican minorities still support him because they are republicans, not because they are minorities. Does this prove that he isn't a racist? No it does not. Just proves the political divide is deep and getting to a point where it's tearing the country apart.

Not much of a leader is he?

He has the highest support amongst blacks and Hispanics for any Republican. He won with just 8% black support last time around and he's getting around 15% now and rising... 1. What do you think that portends, and 2. do you think blacks and browns are so feckless they would support a racist or someone that you say is taking advantage of "white" privilege? 3. Do you differentiate between whites and jews?

Also, you are making the point that whites shouldn't be nervous around minorities? 4. Shouldn't they be, at least until they know the individual...? 5. Shouldn't anybody be a bit nervous or suspicious around strangers, regardless of race? 6. How can you have any "unifying" leader? Isn't some dissent and divergent opinion a good thing?

This pandemic bullpoop might lead to 75k depression related deaths from suicide and drug use. Lots of people can't pay rent, mortgages cuz they aren't working in the States... China needs to be bright to heel. USA should seize all their assets, and cancel the Treasury bonds they're holding.

Lol that homophobe Joy Reid on MSCCP... Funny how liberals will try and paint any Republican as a great guy if they oppose POTUS. What happened to Mitt Romney being a Nazi? I guess he's anti Trump so now the guy's a hero... Lol. Big Michelle sharing candies with George Jr... So he's a good guy now too...

Just saw an article that 44% of republicans think that Bill Gates will use a COVID-19 vaccine to implant a location-tracking microchip in recipients.

How can you people be so damn stupid to believe this sh!t, seriously, the guy has donated $300 million to a coronavirus vaccine and has become a target of baseless conservative conspiracy theorists.

Bill Gates has killed Africans/ Indians and sterilized just many young girls in India and Africa with his vaccine testing. They want him jailed in India. Recent news about how he tried to bribe some Africans to give rulings in his benefit. The guy is a maniac.

Maybe Bill Gates supporters hate the browns and blacks.

The guy has NO medical training, stole the idea that made his company, promotes global depopulation, and stands to make billions in vaccines.
