President Donald Trump is convinced his Twitter love-fest with Kanye West is proving fruitful for his popularity among African-American voters.
At least, that’s what he told Kim Kardashian — who is married to West — during her visit to the White House last week, according to Bloomberg News.
Kardashian attended a meeting with Trump and White House adviser Jared Kushner to discuss prison reform and a potential presidential pardon of Alice Marie Johnson, a 63-year-old grandmother who is serving a life sentence in prison for a non-violent drug offense.
While Trump wasn’t immediately struck by Kardashian’s request — according to a person familiar with the meeting who spoke with Bloomberg — Trump did tell Kardashian that he thinks the support he’s received from her and West has boosted his popularity among black voters.
Trump made similar claims during a National Rifle Association conference last month, claiming that West’s tweets — in which the rapper claimed he and Trump shared “dragon energy” — “doubled my African American polling numbers.”
Bloomberg pointed out that Trump was likely referencing a Reuters weekly tracking poll that claimed Trump’s approval rating among black men rose from 11 percent to 22 percent from April 22-29. Reuters has reported that the number of African Americans who respond to the weekly poll isn’t high enough to suggest any real shakeup.
All the black voters persuaded by Kanye to support Trump were in that Oval Office photo with Kim and Trump.
This could be true, if you start low enough…
Pathetic and delusional.
Yet she did not get the pardon she was there to lobby for. Why he immediately began talking about Blago and Martha Stewart.
Her black great-grandmother…why he pardoned a dead black guy (who beat all three of his wives) just last week!
So no black people for Kim!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…oh man,…hee hee hee
