They made you big promises before every election\u2014and then the moment they got to Washington, they abandoned you and sold you out,\u201d the president is expected to say Friday, according to remarks exclusively obtained by Fox News. \u201cThe Democrats will always take Black voters for granted until large numbers of Black Americans vote Republican.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He announced the plan during an Atlanta event on Friday, deeming it the &#8220;Black Economic Empowerment Platinum Plan,&#8221; while making the point that he is fighting for Black Americans more than Joe Biden has for the last 47 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;They only care about power for themselves, whatever that means,&#8221; Trump exaplained. &#8220;My opponent is offering Black Americans nothing but the same old, tired, empty slogans.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Trump campaign has stated\u00a0 that the plan will increase access to capital, fuel Black owned business, cut taxes, increase educational opportunities, lower the cost of healthcare, and further criminal justice reform. In addition to all of that and designating the KKK and ANTIFA as terrorist organizations, the plan calls for making Juneteenth a national holiday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPresident Trump has achieved more for Black America in four years than Joe Biden has in four decades,\u201d said Calvin Tucker, Black Voices for Trump Advisory Board Member. \u201cFrom 3 million new jobs to 500,000 additional black-owned businesses, President Trump generated unprecedented opportunity for the Black community, and he\u2019s the only candidate on the ballot who can do it again.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">President Trump has been helping the Black community since the start of his campaign. Before the coronavirus outbreak, African Americans were enjoying the lowest unemployment rate in the country\u2019s history. Furthermore, Trump passed the First Step Act, which reformed federal prisons and sentencing laws while also decreasing the inmate population. In fact, 91% of those released from prison as a result of the first step act were African American.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trump is always saying that &#8220;the best is yet to come,&#8221; and it\u2019s great to see that the same goes for his plans for the Black community. In the first four years of his presidency, President Trump has made great strides in helping African Americans, and the Platinum Plan shows that it will only get better from here.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.createsend1.com\/resize\/ei\/r\/11\/ABC\/A26\/csimport\/PlatinumPlanPage1.PNG?w=600\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.createsend1.com\/resize\/ei\/r\/11\/ABC\/A26\/csimport\/PlatinumPlanPage2.PNG?w=600\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/whitehouse\/48859291661\/lightbox\/\">Photo by The White House via Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba\u00a0 President Trump unexpectedly revealed &#8220;The Platinum Plan,&#8221;
