A person recounts the\u2064 experience\u200c of wearing \u201cLet\u2019s Go Brandon\u201d T-shirts at a gym\u200d frequented predominantly by black and brown members and \u200creceiving positive responses. Polls indicate \u2064a shift in voter\u2064 preference among these racial groups, with a notable amount of Hispanic voters favoring Trump over Biden \u200bfor the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-rand-paul-offers-dr-rachel-levine-as-example-of-radical-agenda-riding-bidens-coattails\/\" title=\"Sen. Rand Paul Offers Dr. Rachel Levine As Example Of Radical Agenda Riding Biden\u2019s Coattails\">upcoming presidential election<\/a>, and black voters showing increased\u200c support for \u2063Trump \u200ccompared to past Republican \u200ccandidates.<\/p>\n<p>This\u200b support is believed to \u200cbe not just policy-driven, but also based on a personal fondness for Trump, who seems to\u2063 maintain a genuine comfort and connection with black and brown people. Trump\u2019s policies \u2064led to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michael-barone-what-the-democratic-trifecta-hath-wrought\/\" title=\"Michael Barone: What the Democratic Trifecta Hath Wrought\">historically low unemployment rates<\/a> for Hispanic and black communities and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fed-dramatically-hikes-inflation-projection-in-much-awaited-meeting-will-not-taper-stimulus\/\" title=\"Fed Dramatically Hikes Inflation Projection In Much-Awaited Meeting, Will Not Taper Stimulus\">stable inflation rates<\/a> during his presidency, contrasting with higher inflation rates \u2062under the Biden administration. Furthermore, Trump\u2019s public appearances, such as\u200b at \u200cthe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)\u200c events, demonstrate his popularity and the enthusiastic reception \u2063he receives from diverse audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Despite \u200ccriticism from some\u2064 members of the \u2063media and opposing political figures, Trump\u2019s interaction with \u2064racial minorities in\u200d various public events suggests \u200dthat his relationship with these crucial \u200bdemographics is strengthening, contradicting the mainstream narrative of his unpopularity \u2064among\u200d these groups.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>I belong to a gym where the membership is heavily black and brown. A couple of years ago, I started wearing \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/lets-go-brandon-what-does-it-mean-republicans-joe-biden-ab13db212067928455a3dba07756a160\">Let\u2019s Go Brandon<\/a>\u201d T-shirts to some of my workouts. Whenever I did, I could not walk more than a few steps without getting a fist bump. The approval of my insult to President Joe Biden was a preview of what the polls now tell us: Support for former President Donald Trump has surged in black and Hispanic communities. <\/p>\n<p>Ever since Donald Trump came down the golden escalator at Trump Tower nine years ago, racial minorities have been told incessantly that Trump is a racist and a white supremacist. Yet many either haven\u2019t been listening or just don\u2019t like being told what to think. They are increasingly expressing support for Trump \u2014 publicly and raucously. <\/p>\n<p>Recent polls show that Hispanic voters <a href=\"https:\/\/news.wttw.com\/2024\/03\/29\/examining-donald-trump-s-support-among-latinos-light-new-poll\">favor Trump<\/a> over Biden for the upcoming presidential election, while black voters, though still supporting Biden by wide margins, prefer Trump at levels not seen for a Republican presidential candidate since <a href=\"https:\/\/news.wttw.com\/2024\/03\/29\/examining-donald-trump-s-support-among-latinos-light-new-poll\">President Nixon\u2019s reelection<\/a> in 1972. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no doubt such support can be attributed to Trump\u2019s policies. Hispanic and black unemployment rates hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2019\/10\/04\/black-and-hispanic-unemployment-is-at-a-record-low.html\">record lows<\/a> during his administration before the Covid-19 lockdowns. Inflation was under control, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/joe-biden-economy-inflation-jimmy-carter-ronald-reagan-092f2b3e\">average yearly inflation<\/a> under Trump at 1.9 percent \u2014 versus 5.5 percent under the Biden administration. For American households, real net worth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/economy\/stock-market-performance-biden-trump-charts-1a83371b\">increased<\/a> 16 percent through Trump\u2019s first three years, versus only 0.7 percent through Biden\u2019s first three years.<\/p>\n<p>But there is something else happening. The support for Trump from racial minorities appears to be visceral and based on genuine personal fondness for the former president \u2014 something Biden could never achieve. Unlike recent Republican presidents or presidential nominees, Trump also displays comfort and camaraderie in his personal interactions with those who are black and brown, not awkwardness or detachment. <\/p>\n<p>The day after Trump was convicted in the <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/failures-of-biased-judge-in-sham-trump-trial-with\/id1532976305?i=1000657272942\">sham<\/a> trial in New York, he appeared at that weekend\u2019s Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) competitions and walked out to a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShawnMcCreesh\/status\/1797093160331432037\">thunderous<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DonaldJTrumpJr\/status\/1797112531942621330\">welcome<\/a> from an arena packed with people of all colors and ethnicities. After Trump took his seat, the crowd broke out into a spontaneous \u201cF-ck Joe Biden\u201d chant. <\/p>\n<p>When Kevin Holland, one of the fighters of the night, won his bout, the first thing he did was jump over the octagon to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MarioNawfal\/status\/1797119622400856426\">shake Trump\u2019s hand<\/a>. Holland, like numerous other UFC fighters, is black. <\/p>\n<p>Had Biden encountered anything remotely resembling this level of unprompted excitement from black and brown Americans, the left and the corporate media would have raved about the \u201cdiversity.\u201d Yet,\u00a0The New York Times reached into the grievance bag of identity politics and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/02\/us\/politics\/donald-trump-ufc-newark-dana-white.html\">rendered<\/a> this judgment of Trump\u2019s UFC love fest: There weren\u2019t enough women in attendance. <\/p>\n<p>Certainly, neither Trump nor his supporters care for\u00a0the Times\u00a0or its notions of diversity. Much to the chagrin of the biased media, however, Trump\u2019s connection to core constituents of the Democrat Party is real and growing strong. <\/p>\n<p>At Trump\u2019s impromptu visit to a bodega in Harlem on day two of his New York trial, he was greeted by a boisterous and welcoming crowd. At a rally in the South Bronx in May to court black and Hispanic voters, Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/ny1.com\/nyc\/all-boroughs\/news\/2024\/05\/24\/trump-draws-large-crowd-at-rally-in-the-bronx\">drew<\/a> a large audience in the heart of Democratic territory. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, black anti-Trump Democrats, who claim to speak for all black people, have seen their comments contradicted by pro-Trump black Americans. <\/p>\n<p>One of these black Democrats, Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland, appeared on\u00a0\u201cThis Week with George Stephanopoulos\u201d\u00a0to say it was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/week-transcript-6-2-24-gov-wes-moore\/story?id=110743140\">deeply offensive<\/a>\u201d to suggest that Trump\u2019s conviction in the New York trial would help him among black and other nonwhite voters. Rapper 50 Cent <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bennyjohnson\/status\/1798500183237623977\">offered<\/a> an entirely different view. Referring to charges against Trump brought by a partisan district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, the celebrity said he believed black men identified with Trump in this election because \u201cthey got RICO charges [too].\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Trump himself at times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semafor.com\/article\/06\/13\/2024\/they-see-strength-the-black-sports-icons-shaping-donald-trumps-take-on-race-politics-and-masculinity\">leans into<\/a> his criminal conviction and prosecutions when speaking about rising support among black voters. In an interview with Semafor, he\u00a0explained\u00a0that black support for him results through \u201cosmosis\u201d because black voters \u201csee what\u2019s happening [to Trump]. And a lot of them feel that similar things have happened to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While conservatives have long <a href=\"https:\/\/manhattan.institute\/article\/no-the-criminal-justice-system-isnt-racist\">argued against<\/a> the left\u2019s claim that black people are systemically and racially targeted by the legal system, and Trump himself says he does not plan to focus on this issue, plenty of black Americans <em>do<\/em> perceive the system to be rigged against them. It is no small irony that by attacking Trump with brazen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2024\/06\/in-memory-of-justice\/?bypass_key=R2RJSHJJWEhBcGhJOUNKU08rbGhodz09OjpTVGhMUVdaUFRHUllTM0I0TTIxeFpVUlhiMk55ZHowOQ%3D%3D\">political prosecutions<\/a>, the left has unwittingly engendered sympathy for Trump from many black voters.  <\/p>\n<p>In 2016, Trump pointed to the Democrat Party\u2019s failed policies since the \u201cwar on poverty\u201d and exhorted black voters to walk away. \u201cWhat the h-ll have you got to lose?\u201d Trump repeatedly asked. He might not have succeeded in convincing these voters to vote for him, but in that close election, many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/short-reads\/2017\/05\/12\/black-voter-turnout-fell-in-2016-even-as-a-record-number-of-americans-cast-ballots\/\">stayed home<\/a> and declined to support Hillary Clinton, Trump\u2019s opponent.  <\/p>\n<p>This year, ordinary black and brown Americans, like my friends at the gym, know well what they have lost under Biden\u2019s policies. Many are increasingly moving toward the realization that Donald Trump was, and would be again, a better president for them.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Ying Ma\u00a0is the president of the\u00a0American Ideals PAC.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m a member of a predominantly black and brown gym.
