Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Donald J.

But nobody wants to talk about it; no one wants to look behind the curtain. We\u2019ve heard nothing from Barack Obama about all of this carnage, nothing from Rahm Emanuel, nothing from Governor Rauner. Nor have we heard anything from Clinton about the staggering numbers of deaths in Chicago, which far exceed the number of coalition forces killed in Afghanistan, totaling 275 since the start of Barack Obama\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n<p>Something has to be done to improve the quality of life for black people. Donald Trump is the only one willing to talk about it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click CONTINUE to see my appearance on Fox News:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"
