The previous holder of the Presidential office, Donald Trump, actively engaged the African American community in Detroit this past Saturday. The intention was to raise awareness about an issue that is still rather controversial after a span of thirty years - Former President Joe Biden's primary role in instigating the highly debated 1994 Crime Bill.
Donald Trump, well-known for his direct style of approach, chose the predominantly African American populated 180 Church as the setting for dramatic discussions surrounding this key issue. Timed to correspond with the announcement of a new coalition focused on African American voters, the discussion was designed to be deeply impactful.
Trump's central message was hard-hitting and undeniably distressing, focusing on the disturbingly high crime levels pervading the neighbourhoods where his listeners resided. 'Look, it's in locations like this where crime is at its highest, particularly among the African American communities,' Trump asserted during the riveting discussion in Detroit.
He continued with a poignant observation, 'Countless individuals approach me, pleading, ‘Mr. President, we yearn for safety. We wish for the security provided by our law enforcement institutions. We have no desire to be victims of theft, physical assault, or subjected to lethal aggression merely because we want to cross the street to buy a simple loaf of bread.''
