Looks to me like Trump’s 2016 challenge to the black community finally bore fruit.
“What the hell do you have to lose?”

OCD note: even with the video playing, the CNN chyron and headline writers didn’t quote exactly what Trump said.

The Atlantic, not surprisingly, is giving “context” to dismiss Trump’s motives (I don’t agree with them), but they were actually unwittingly prophetic.

Trump rounds out this appeal by saying that if he’s elected, he’ll get 95% black support for his re-election. “I guarantee it!” This will probably end up being classified in the “sarcastic” bin, given that not even Barack Obama got that large a share of the black vote in his re-election run. He got about 93% in 2012; Trump right now is running between 1% and 3% black support, depending on the polls.

He went against the rules. You can not stand for Donald J Trump in this country or you will go to the gulag. This is our future, because nobody is doing anything to stop the New Gestapo.

Enough said, but will those guys vote, and how will their votes be counted?

Meanwhile, Harrison Floyd’s legal fund is over its target goal. He’ll need more.

Trump doesn’t write this kind of email, his staffers do (all politicians staffers do these), but I suspect it is referencing this from Biden Inc:

They (the leadership now) aren’t really attuned to the people they profess to champion.

Others were all-in for Trump.

“I don’t believe half of the stuff they are saying about Trump,” Dorthy Harp, a black Trump supporter, declared according to Atlanta Daily World. “Why are they always trying to attack the man? It’s because he wants to run for president again.”

That’s because they’re treating Trump the same way they treat all of us citizens. He’s literally showing the world what our corrupt criminal government does on the daily to thousands of people.— Atom (@Autolock)
…
“Racketeering is about stealing money and stuff like that. That makes no sense,” west Cobb County resident Jerry Ramsey, told the Missouri Independent, citing legal experts who have appeared on Fox News. “If you show me that some real crime was committed, then I might change my mind. But I have seen no real crime.”

Members of the black Trump group were also joined by self-proclaimed Mayor of Magaville rapper Forgiato Blow and others for an impromptu jam session featuring songs like Blow’s “Trump Saved the USA.”
…
Stoking the fire is the fact that one of Trump’s 18 indicted co-defendants is Harrison William Prescott Floyd, a member of “Black Voices for Trump,” and reportedly the only defendant now sitting in jail without bail according to CBS News Atlanta. Not a good look for authorities.

Similarly, note the backlash (almost whiplash – the car accident kind) over Trump’s mug shot.

Alina Habba — “Them saying something like we need a mugshot. What’s the purpose of a mug shot? The mug shot is so that you know what somebody looks like in case they’re a flight risk. The man is supervised by Secret Service … Where is he going and who isn’t recognizing him?”

If the former President will stay on point, it’s messages like this that show he is still the right person for the job:

While I was being arrested, I got a firsthand look at the poor and disgraceful conditions of the Fulton County Jail.

It’s worse than you could even imagine.

It’s violent. The building is falling apart. Inmates have dug their fingers into the crumbling walls and ripped out chunks to fashion over 1,000 shanks.

Just this year alone, 7 inmates have died in that jail.

And beyond the crumbling walls of the jail, the streets of Atlanta are far more dangerous than Chicago’s.

Seeing the third world state of that jail made me even more determined to run for President and save our country from permanent decline.

It reinforced that I can NEVER – under any circumstances – GIVE UP on our mission to save America. The Silent Majority needs us to win.

Our elected officials do not care that our nation is crumbling to pieces.

Think about it: Democrats just arrested an innocent man – all while real criminals are terrorizing innocent families all across Atlanta.

Instead of working to fix inflation, repair our dilapidated infrastructure, secure our southern border, and clean up our neighborhoods, Crooked Joe has ordered the federal government to use all of its manpower on trying to illegally imprison me for the rest of my life.

I know in my heart that Americans of all walks of life are ready for a President who puts the needs and priorities of our law-abiding, legal citizens first.

And very soon, you WILL have that President once again. ??

If you are doing poorly due to these very bad people who are letting America burn to the ground, then please don’t donate.

It strikes me that the plan may have been create an infraction against FBI agents which can be more serious than for anyone else.

At this point, I wouldn’t give an FBI agent the time of day.
