Clearly @AriFleischer didn't read the ridiculously named "Platinum Plan." More like Aluminum Foil Plan. I did. All of it. And it's a hodgepodge of stuff that isn't coherent; is filled with airy statements that mean nothing; and wasn't even proof read. 1/10

So @AriFleischer, Trump says he wants to make Juneteenth a national federal holiday. So why was he silent when @SenRonJohnson blocked it in JULY? No tweet. No public statement. He could have weighed in then. He didn't. That's BS. 2/10

So @AriFleischer, @realDonaldTrump wants to make the anti-lynching bill federal law. Where was he when @RandPaul blocked that? No tweet. No public statement. Did he publicly call for its passage? NOPE. Just more platinum plan BS. 3/10

So @AriFleischer, @realDonaldTrump says create 500,000 new Black-owned businesses. How? He doesn't say. Are these to replace the many Black-owned businesses we lost due to his poor coronavirus leadership? Told ya I read it. 4/10

So @AriFleischer, @realDonaldTrump says he will create 3 million jobs for Black America. Hmmm. Is that to replace the ones lost since his inauguration? 2017 Black unemployment rate: 7.5. Today: 13%. It's amazing when you actually read the Plan and fact check stuff. 5/10

So @AriFleischer, @realDonaldTrump says he will require diversify training for police officers. Bit didn't he just wipe out diversity training on the federal level? So which is it? His healthcare section is total BS since he wants to wipe out the ACA. 6/10

So @AriFleischer, the plan says to champion federal home ownership initiatives? Really? Black home ownership dropped to its lowest level since 1968 under @realDonaldTrump. Why has this housing plan been on MIA for the last 3 1/2 years? NOTHING thorough on housing. 7/10

No @AriFleischer, if the @GOP is serious about Black people, come with a serious plan. By the way, @realDonaldTrump isn't serious when he and his team avoid media institutions that Black people trust, Ari. They gave a preview to NPR. Really? They have NO Black media outreach 8/10

Hell @AriFleischer, if @realDonaldTrump was serious, they would have at least sat down with @blackenterprise. But non-serious folks would not have thought of that. Go to 33:51 for my full #RolandMartinUnfiltered breakdown of his Aluminum Foil Plan: 9/10

See @AriFleischer, I'm a Black man. A Black man who knows real Black Republicans - 3rd & 4th generation brothers & sisters - who scoff at this plan. If he was serious, he would have had Bob Brown put this together. And I shouldn't have to explain to a Republican who he is. 10/10
