President Trump has reportedly 'professed bafflement that his numbers with black voters are not higher'
Donald Trump Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images You may have noticed that Tuesday night’s State of the Union Address featured more than the usual share of positive references to African-Americans. The New York Times reports that President Trump “has professed bafflement that his numbers with black voters are not higher, telling allies he assumed he would fare better because the economy is doing well and unemployment among African-Americans has dropped.
To be sure, the causal relationship is not that black people vote against Trump because he likes Limbaugh. Trump himself has a record of racism so long and flagrant, beginning with his business career defying desegregation orders, that he makes Limbaugh look like Martin Luther King Jr. Rather, Trump and Limbaugh are drawn to one another due in large part to a shared ideology deeply infused with racism.
Trump is not known for his self-awareness or keen analytic powers, of course. But rank stupidity does not explain the entirety of his befuddlement.
