Trump’s ‘New Deal’ for Black Americans

Donald J. Trump portrayed Hillary Clinton as an agent of a system that had failed the black community, a group that polls indicate is likely to vote overwhelmingly for her.

Today I want to talk about how to grow the African-American middle class and to provide a new deal for black America. That deal is grounded in three promises: safe communities, great education and high paying jobs.” 3. Pan of supporters clapping to Trump on stage 4. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, Republican US presidential nominee: “My vision rest on a principle that has defined this campaign right from the beginning, and you have seen where we’ve come from and where we are right now - it’s called America first. Every African-American citizen in this country is entitled to a government that puts their jobs, wages and security first. I’m asking today for the honour of your vote and the privilege to represent you as your president.” 5. Cutaway 6. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, Republican US presidential nominee: “Our campaign is about change, optimism and the future. I am asking people to break from the bitter failures of the past and to imagine the amazing possibilities for our future, and our future together. Our opponent (Democrat Hillary Clinton) represents the rigged system and the failed thinking of yesterday.” ++BLACK FRAMES++ 7. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, Republican US presidential nominee: “There will be only one set of rules, not a two-tiered system of justice like we have right now. You see that with Hillary Clinton, think of it. Think of it, she deletes 30,000 emails after getting a subpoena from the United States Congress and she has no trouble, and in your community you know what you are going through. Can you imagine if you did that? Can you imagine if I did that? I think they would reinstitute the electric chair. Forget about you, how about me, would I be in trouble.”
