Since his mugshot was taken next summer, former US President Donald Trump has asserted that he has a stronger base of Black and Hispanic voters. Trump claimed this at a” Barber Shop Roundtable” voting gathering on Wednesday, hosted by former US Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson and Republican representative Byron Donalds. Trump is also gearing up for the first national conversation of the year, which he took part in via a telephone.
” Since]the mugshot ] happened, the support among the Black community and the Hispanic community has skyrocketed”, Trump said. ” It has been remarkable, actually been amazing”.
Trump praised his mugshot, which was taken in August at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia, where he was being held on criminal charges related to an alleged tale to reverse the state’s 2020 election results. ” The mug shot is the best”, he said. By the way, it only beat Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra by a lot. Hit it by a bit. However, it’s the most famous drink picture ever, and it’s truly remarkable.
This assertion comes after Trump faced criticism in February for making the claim that Black citizens liked him more because of his mugshot. ” I got indicted for everything. They were doing it because it’s vote interference. And finally I got indicted a second time, a second time, and a third day”, Trump stated. Many people claimed that because of their severe injuries and discrimination, that’s why Dark folks like me. And they really saw me as a victim of discrimination. It’s been really amazing”.
MSNBC’s Jonathan Capehart criticized Trump’s opinions, labeling them “unbelievably prejudiced”. Capehart urged people to share the videos with Trump backers in order to highlight the issue with the statements.
Also, Trump falsely claimed he was tortured at the Fulton County Jail last month. ” They tortured me in the Fulton County Jail, and TOOK MY MUGSHOT”, he wrote in a battle message. Leveraging the position for charity, Trump is now selling espresso cups bearing the mugshot, applicable for a suggested payment of$ 47 or$ 100, a smile to his passion of becoming America’s 47th leader this November. Trump’s campaign reportedly raised$ 10 million from the image in September.
