Of course he did. Yet another way Trump can attack black people. What I don’t get is why Trump still get any votes from black people when he constantly acts against their interests.
Lies and propaganda are powerful.
If you wonder why they voted, then you still underestimate the power of lies.

Of course Trump is harming them, but he promised them great things. It was that very method of promising everything to everyone that sickened my stomach in 2016. I saw through the lies. Unfortunately, that's a privileged position. Many others are victims of said propaganda and are unwittingly voting against their own survival.

The power of propaganda was unfathomable to our founders, who never imagined today's mass communication environment. Their notions of liberty and Democracy have been usurped.

Wouldn't the cure lie in trying to find out why people fall for propaganda and how to prevent it from happening, at the risk of capitalism, of course, because the creation of false needs are what keep the economy spinning. Someone might have more than you do and not deserve it.

Trump wants to take down the black people without knowing that along latinos are majority now?

While ending the program is a very bad idea, the problem itself is completely self inflected. My hunch is most of the affected dwellings are mobile homes that were moved to whatever location and set up without caring about sanitation. Run the sewer pipe out to the back yard and let it lose. No one who did this bought a lot and a dwelling without giving at least a passing thought to where the shit would go, it was done knowing that it was a serious issue.

Let me guess, super low taxes leading to basically 0 enforcement of regulations on the books or just no regulations. Sounds like paradise right?

Even worse, militarize as much as possible, leading the lowest civil life while the Oligarchs finds a way to dispatch those poor people.

I guess if you think the rules only apply when there is someone standing there to stop you, it's a valid point.
