Trump Responds to Polls Showing Black Voters Dumping Democrats: ‘They Know They’re Being Conned’

President Donald Trump has responded to recent polling data that shows black voters are increasingly abandoning the Democratic Party.

During a wide-ranging interview on “Fox and Friends” on Thursday, Trump said that the Democrats have “conned” black voters

According to a 2020 CNN exit poll, Trump received 12% support from black voters.

However, Trump would get the vote of 26% of black voters in the 2024 election, according to a Fox News poll released Aug. 14.

Co-host Lawrence Jones played a video clip of his recent visit to a Chicago barbershop to discuss a variety of political topics with voters.

After watching the clip, Trump said that the black voters who “just wanted safety” were dealing with a “corrupt political system.”

“I like that guy, and I like those people and I watched yesterday as you did it,” Trump said.

“You are doing fantastically, by the way.

“I watched yesterday as you did the interviews.

“Those are great people,” Trump said.

“Those are people who just want safety.

“They don’t want much, he wants to run his barbershop.”

“The people that are getting their hair cut, I was thinking about maybe going there myself, I like the work, maybe they would make my hair look better,” Trump said.

“I would pay a lot of money for that haircut, they could make my hair look better.

“Honestly, those are great people, those are hard-working people,” Trump continued.

“They are strong, they are tough and they know they are being conned by the Democrats.

“You have a corrupt political system in Chicago.

“Look at the governor, the governor is an incompetent guy.

“He was thrown out of the family business, Hyatt Hotel, I was partners with them years ago on a job in New York.

“They threw him out of the business.”

Trump also discussed the issue of crime in Chicago.

He mentioned the mothers of crime victims in the city who appeared earlier on the show.

“I watched the mothers on your show this morning before we went on, so sad. They’ve given up on life,” Trump said.

“You have the worst prosecutors.

“They go after guys like me,” he noted.

“They don’t – they go after me because I questioned the elections and things like that.

“It’s nonsense… if you can’t question an election, we don’t have a country.

“But, when people get killed when their children get killed, nothing happens.”

Trump urged for a return to tough-on-crime policies, citing his experience building Trump Tower in Chicago.

“I know the people in Chicago, I know the police because I built the building there,” Trump said.

“I spent a lot of time building it.

“It’s a great building, a really great building, and what happened is I got to know a lot of people, including the police,” Trump said.

“You have a great police force in Chicago, just like you do in New York, just like you do in Los Angeles.

“They are not allowed to do their jobs.

“You have got to let the police do their jobs, number one.

“Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk.

“When you see a guy coming down the street and you can – the police know every one of them.

“They know their middle name.

“They know where they live.

“They know every one of them, the local police and they are great.

“You got to let them do their job.”
