2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHas Trump Written Off Black Voters?
New York Times: Mr. Trump may not have purposefully snubbed black neighborhoods he rarely plunges into any community to tour businesses, sample local cuisine or spontaneously engage in the handshake and back-patting rituals of everyday campaigning. His preferred style of politicking consists almost entirely of addressing arena-size rallies, conducting media interviews and receiving visitors in private at events or at his Manhattan skyscraper.But the 70-year-old white self-described billionaire has not just walled himself off from African-American voters where they live. He has also turned down repeated invitations to address gatherings of black leaders, ignored African-American conservatives in states he needs to win and made numerous inflammatory comments about minorities.

(37,428 posts)4. Donald Trump has written off anyone not named Donald Trump.
Even his supporters don't seem to register with him as fully human, and he does not seek out criticism.

(332 posts)6. as one "The Blacks" he spoke of
He never did reach out to people of color, except to insult and portray us in a bad light . Supporting Trump as a black man or any person of color would be like a chicken supporting Colonel Sanders for KFC !
