Read About Ivanka Trump's Plotting To Return To The White House On THE DAILY
Â
Donald Trump continues to slip into a downward mental spiral. The GOP nominee is promising that he will win 95% of the African-American vote not in 2016, but four years from now in 2020. Hillary Clinton quickly delivered a dose of reality to Trump.
Trump said:
Trump went off of his teleprompter script and said:
Hillary Clinton’s campaign responded with a dose of reality for Trump:
.@realDonaldTrump predicts he'll get 95% of the Black vote. The reality:

The most generous polling number with African-Americans for Trump out there is 1% nationally. Trump has been pulling a zero in state level polls for months now.
To put Trump’s promise into proper context, he is promising to get the support of more African-American voters than President Obama. Democrats have not gotten less than 80% of African-American support in modern polling, so what Trump promised to do is simply not possible.
His promise that he will get 95% African-American support within four years wasn’t in his prepared text. This wasn’t something that his campaign came up with or told him to say. The idea that Donald Trump will win near universal support from African-Americans came completely from the delusional mind of Donald J. Trump.
The reality is that Hillary Clinton is going to win ninety percent plus support from the African-American community. Anyone who believes otherwise is completely insane.
