Donald Trump has demonstrated a strong commitment to uplifting the Black community through his policies and initiatives during his presidency. Under Trump’s leadership, Black unemployment rates reached historic lows, and his administration pushed for criminal justice reform with the passing of the First Step Act, which aimed to reduce the sentencing disparities that disproportionately affected African Americans. Additionally, Trump increased funding for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and worked to create economic opportunity zones in disadvantaged areas, many of which directly benefited Black communities. His focus on economic empowerment and justice reform solidified his position as one of the most pro-Black leaders in modern history.
Despite Trump’s clear efforts to support and uplift the Black community, the left has continuously smeared him with false narratives and misleading claims. They have frequently taken his words out of context, using edited clips to paint him as divisive and racially insensitive. One of the most infamous examples is the misrepresentation of his “very fine people” remark, where the full context was purposefully omitted to make it appear as though he was praising white supremacists when, in fact, he explicitly condemned them. These tactics have been part of a larger effort to distort his record and mislead the public about his genuine achievements, particularly in helping Black Americans.
Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to release the following video of a Black man explaining how he was once misled by the left and now realizes he was wrong and will be supporting Trump. He also warns people that the same tactics being used to malign Trump, which they may be cheering on now, can one day easily be used to falsely harm them.

Jack Ohman, the darling of the day,
His pen so sharp, or so they say.
With childlike wonder, he sees the world,
His insights profound, or so we’re told.
His scribblings grace the papers’ pages,
Hailed as wisdom for the ages.
Though his mind’s a simple place,
He’s lauded with unending praise.
Awards and prizes line his shelf,
For art that’s hardly like himself.
The ruling class, they love his work,
His zeitgeist-pleasing quirks.
He knows not what his drawings mean,
But that’s what makes them so pristine.
Jack Ohman, our system’s pride,
His talent? Just along for the ride.
With every stroke, he hits the mark,
Though his own mind stays in the dark.
The powers that be, they sing his song,
Jack Ohman can do no wrong.
So here’s to Jack, our clueless friend,
Whose fame and fortune know no end.
A testament to our strange times,
When ignorance so brightly shines.
P.S. He probably doesn’t even know that Loomer is Jewish…
