Trump's Platinum Plan is textbook pandering. If you want to do something, like designating the KKK and Antifa as terrorist groups (which is accurate) just DO IT. Enough of the identity politics. The specific loans for black businesses? Asinine.
My tweet yesterday encompasses this foolishness just as much as everything the left does. We need to institute school choice. Not for black people but for ALL Americans. We need to peel back govt regulations. Not for black people. But for ALL Americans. Are we Americans or not???
The idea that black people can't succeed unless the government gives them handouts and pays special attention to them is literally the Democrat's playbook and has been since LBJ's Great Society. I hate it. It's regressive. And demeaning. Is there a 500B plan for white people? No.
I think Trump is legitimately trying to help. And it will probably be politically effective because people love being pandered to. But if you want to actually help people, get the government the eff out of their lives and force them to take responsibility for themselves.
This is why I can't be a politician. I couldn't force myself to do this kind of stuff.
