At a rally in Atlanta, Donald Trump made headlines for his derogatory comments aimed at Black and Hispanic voters who support Vice President Kamala Harris. In a strikingly dismissive tone, he suggested that those who don’t back him should “have your head examined.”
Trump claimed that Harris has allowed a “migrant invasion” that he argues is harming job prospects in minority communities. “The African American community and the Hispanic community is being devastated with jobs,” Trump said.
He added, “Any African American or Hispanic– and you know how well I’m doing there – that votes for Kamala, you gotta have your head examined. Because they are really screwing you.”
This comment reflects a disturbing pattern in Trump’s rhetoric, where he has similarly insulted Jewish voters, suggesting they should also reconsider their support for Harris. He has also implied that Jewish voters would share the blame if he does not win in November, further illustrating his tendency to insult minority groups.
These remarks not only reveal Trump’s penchant for belittling minority groups but also raise questions about his own mental acuity, as he projects his insecurities onto those who do not align with him. Such insults serve to distract from his policies and underscore a troubling narrative that seeks to alienate rather than unite.
A recent New York Times/Siena College poll released on Saturday reveals that 78 percent of Black voters intend to support Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming election, while only 15 percent are backing Donald Trump. This 63-percentage point gap marks a notable shift from the 2020 election, where President Biden secured 90 percent of Black voters compared to Trump’s 9 percent.
The same poll found that among Hispanic voters, 56 percent plan to vote for Harris, while 37 percent are leaning toward Trump. In 2020, exit polls indicated that Biden received 65 percent of the Latino vote, while Trump garnered 32 percent.
