President Donald J. Trump’s campaign has not been shy about pushback. Accuse him of collusion with Russia? Challenge that at every level. After 2 years, Special Counsel Robert Mueller effectively delivered nada. As longtime MHProNews readers may recall, shortly after the probe was launched, relying on experts like Harvard Law’s Alan Dershowitz, we projected it would be a nothing burger, because the allegations were not illegal. Before and after that, there have been a string of allegations, a non-stop smoke-generating machine that some supporters claim are an attempt by his political rivals – which includes never-Trump Republicans – to tarnish him by implication and the sheer volume of nonstop allegations. Among those have been charges of racism, which several black leaders that know President Trump have denied. Nevertheless, the opposition insists the 45^th president is a ‘racist’ – but efforts like this new one today are doubtlessly aimed at reversing that charge by formally organizing black voters for President Trump. If the effort works, alongside similar efforts with Hispanics and women voters, even a modest shift in voting percentages could prove the margin of victory on election night 2020. That outline is not so different in the bottom line result than what the New York Times recently published in an analysis that the president could win again in 2020, perhaps winning even more Electoral College votes. That launch of Black Voices for Trump will be our feature for tonight.

10 Market Indicator Closing Summaries – Yahoo Finance Closing Tickers on MHProNews…

Featured Focus – Where Business, Politics, and Investing Meet

Before diving into the videos and tonight’s featured focus, it is worth noting how the POTUS Trump White House messaging machine operates.

While blasting the ‘fake news’ media, the White House press room periodically cites mainstream media reports and commentary to make its own case. That doesn’t necessarily mitigate against the 45^th president’s claim, but properly understood, fits what MHProNews would argue is that wheat must be separated from the chaff. President Trump has said as much using different language, by praising certain media personalities and news sources while blasting others.

In business, investing – and in politics – nuance and details matter.

These 3 references tonight from the White House “Resolute Reads” will help to tee up the background to “Black Voices for Trump.” Two others from the White House are not included, as these are more applicable to the thesis for tonight’s report.

 

‘Coup Has Started,’ Whistleblower’s Attorney Said in 2017 -Fox News “Mark Zaid, one of the attorneys representing the intelligence community whistleblower at the center of the Democrats’ ongoing impeachment inquiry, tweeted conspicuously in January 2017 that a ‘coup has started’ and that ‘impeachment will follow ultimately,’” Gregg Re reports. “We will get rid of him,” Zaid wrote in July 2017.Red-handed: Dems may have colluded with key witness before complaint was public

Real Talk: Impeachment Is Going Poorly For Democrats and The Media
–The Federalist
“Inside of newsrooms, broadcast studios, and Twitter, impeachment is going according to plan,” Mollie Hemingway writes. “Outside of those bubbles, it’s not . . . It’s been conducted in secret, with heavy control from Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the man who falsely claimed for years he had evidence of Trump’s treasonous collusion with Russia.”

Bottom line: “Trump is innocent of accusations about Ukraine”

Trump Economy is Really Experiencing a Middle-Class Boom — This Data Doesn’t Lie -Fox Business The $5,003 rise in middle-class incomes under President Trump is impressive—especially given that incomes rose only $1,200 under former President Obama in the seven years after the recession ended, Stephen Moore writes. “The majority of middle-income households have benefited financially from the Trump economic boom.”Resurgence: “Small business ‘optimism’ at record high, up 160% under Trump”

With that economic and political backdrop, right-of-center Fox Business (FBN) tonight said that President Trump touted earlier today the fact that the U.S. is hiring more women and minorities while the the shrinking white working class and a decline in the working prime-age male populations.

During a Black Voices for Trump rally in Atlanta, POTUS Trump noted that for the first time ever, a higher proportion of new hires were minorities than whites.

“For the first time ever, most new hires of prime-working age are minorities and women, first time that’s ever happened,” President Trump told the crowd of mostly Black Americans.

 

FBN said that in “1989 white families accounted for 55 percent of all working-class families, but by 2016 their share had declined 13 percentage points. Over the same time period, the total income share of white working-class families declined to 27 percent from 45 percent.”

“Almost 2.5 million Americans have been lifted out of poverty since my election, including 150,000 African American children,” POTUS Trump said. “When I hear 150,000 – a lot of people don’t know what it means, you know what it means to me? We fill up Yankee Stadium three times.”

A White House video sheds light on that within a broader 2020 campaign strategy. 

 

With high profile black American business, religious, and some conservative political leaders touting the president as being the opposite of a racist, this new group will be one to watch for how it may influence other minority members as the 2020 campaign heats up.
