Donald Trump doubled down on Lou Dobbs and it immediately blew up in his face
If there’s one guy on television who shouldn’t be on television, it just might be Lou Dobbs. He used to be on CNN, but then he kept saying racist things about immigrants, and so now he’s on Fox News. Naturally, Dobbs loves Donald Trump, and Trump loves Dobbs. It’s the perfect match made in hell. For some reason, Trump has decided that Dobbs is now some kind of spokesperson for black people.
“This President has done more for African Americans in this Country than any President since Lincoln.” @LouDobbs

Suffice it to say that no one is particularly impressed with this premise. The internet rather quickly destroyed Donald Trump accordingly:
Geezus H…. You two are the LAST things who could comment on the lives of African Americans.

Hey look at unemployment statistics since you claim how much you’ve done for unemployment for African Americans.
Under President Obama, the rate dropped from 16.8% to 7.5% ( -9.3%)
Under Trump, 7.5% to 5.9%

As a reminder, Lou Dobbs blocked Palmer Report on Twitter a long time ago. He never said why, but it’s probably not that hard to figure out.
