In early March, after reading polls showing former President Donald Trump's ascendency with Black voters, I began asking a highly speculative question of Black leaders, and Republican insiders and others in politics, about whether Trump, who has long had a loyalty lock on his base, could support some form of reparations for slavery in an effort to boost himself in swing states while not losing durable, reliable support.
I can't frankly think of a single time this man has apologized for anything he has done. I don't see him starting now. He wants to be a dictator and in picking Vance has selected someone who will encourage his nastiest and most violent tendencies.
I have a hard time seeing Trump advocating for reparations, even if just for show/to get votes. Even more importantly, I have a hard time believing people would believe him if he did. I wouldn’t. Regarding the seizing the opportunity for the greatest mea culpa in history, I’m casting my vote for “more of the same” even if it somehow looks different initially.
I can't see any rational reason to expect he will not just do more of the same. And I also agree with the Bruners, this man has, and never will, apologize for one damned thing in his life, narcissists never do, unless it is coerced, fake, and totally insincere...
Black people are overdue for reparations. Full stop. 🛑 We all know this outwardly racist, bigoted and xenophobic lot he is the leader of won’t be the ones/party to deliver it.

Reparations are a terrible idea.
