Thread: Today I'll be debunking the Trump's Platinum Plan SCAM with receipts. It's asinine to believe a 2 pg PDF when Trump's 4 yr ⚪ Nationalist record proves hostility towards the Black community. Black unemployment has skyrocketed & 41% of small businesses have closed. 
Trump's DOJ has been hostile towards the Black community and rolled back Obama/Biden Criminal Justice Reforms. Trump restarted the war on drugs, restored & increased federal private prisons, encouraged police brutality and more. Trump will not make us safer. #PlatinumPlan
Trump has not been a champion for HBCUs. In fact he has a fraught relationship with HBCUs including hostile statements questioning the constitutionality of their funding. The increased funding Trump touts was actually championed by VP nominee Sen. Kamala Harris. #PlatinumPlan
Breaking down Trump's #PlatinumPlan promises: 3 million new jobs for the Black community does NOT rectify the 13% unemployment when accounting for labor force growth. 500k new Black biz best case results in net 60K new biz due to 440K (41%) of Black businesses lost under Trump.
Trump's #PlatinumPlan promise to create the highest policing standards is bogus considering he encouraged police brutality and ended new investigations & consent decrees for police departments. He committed to a Second Step Act in April 2019 so that's already a promise BROKEN.
I'll be returning to this thread with more rebuttals of the #PlatinumPlan, but sharing this Brookings article that confirms much of what I've already included in the thread. Spoiler alert: Yes Trump has failed Black Americans.
