This is only half true. You can listen to the leaked audio & know that Trump knows just a small % of Black voters staying home can help secure victory.

A Senate intelligence report says no other group was more targeted in the 2016 election.

”posts, videos & ads were geared towards black voters, around hot-button issues, such as police brutality and the kneeling protests in the NFL....telling black voters not to vote for Hillary Clinton, don't vote at all and that their votes didn't matter.” https://www.npr.org/2019/10/27/773817334/how-to-respond-when-election-interference-targets-african-american-voters

Kanye is ok taking Black votes from Biden (whether he can or not remains to be seen, but it’s not a chance we should even be taking. Too much is at risk): https://www.businessinsider.com/kanye-west-2020-bid-take-joe-biden-black-voters-trump-forbes-2020-7

‘It was great’: In leaked audio, Trump hailed low Black turnout in 2016
