On the Washington Monthly blog site, an editorial named of "How Trump Can Actually Help Black America" was posted by Jeremie Greer and Emanuel Nieves. In their editorial, they talk about how Trump addressed how he would help the economic challenges that African Americans have.
The audience they are targeting would be Black America and those who support them. I say this because the topic is about issues that affect their everyday lifestyle. They talked about African Americans problems, his plan, how he hasn't really been that helpful and also how he approached African Americans when trying to get their votes. Trump wanted to address the problems of unemployment, poverty, and crime in their cities. African Americans have not been able to keep wealth due to practices of the federal government. Greer and Nieves state that, "The actions the President has taken have gone counter to his promise to lift up African-American communities." In addition, they talk about how he is unaware of how his plan does not match up to his goal.
The authors then goes to talk about how when trying to persuade Black America to vote for him, he did it poorly. With his campaign, his approach involved him saying, “What the hell do you have to lose?" Many believe that his way was not an efficient way to grab supporters.
Greer and Nieves focus on how Trump is not very helpful to this community. That is shown by the actions of Trump and how he really has not done much. This community still has the same challenges. They state that "If President Trump is serious about creating a better economic future for African-Americans and other communities of color, then he must seek to tear down structural barriers to African-American wealth creation and stability. " This means that there is no way of helping colored communities if individuals are not able to come up in the economy.
