Trump slammed for ‘racist’ claim that Black people like him because of mugshot
Ex-president spoke in South Carolina just hours ahead of the primary election on Saturday
“I got indicted for nothing. They were doing it because it's election interference. And then I got indicted a second time, a third time and a fourth time,” Mr Trump said. “And a lot of people said that that's why the Black people like me, because they have been hurt so badly and discriminated against. And they actually viewed me as I'm being discriminated against. It's been pretty amazing.”
“The mug shot, we’ve all seen the mug shot, and you know who embraced it more than anybody else? The Black population,” he said later in the speech. “It’s incredible. You see Black people walking around with my mug shot, you know?”
“These lights are so bright in my eyes that I can't see too many people out there,” the former president said. “But I can only see the Black ones. I can't see any white ones. That's how far I've come.”
