He went on to mention, "Along with Opportunity Zones, the long term funding of HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, and much more, I’ve done more for our black population than anyone other than, perhaps, Abraham Lincoln!!! Sorry, but that’s the way it is!!!"
However, Van Jones specifically gave Trump credit on that very issue in 2018 and other times, according to Mediaite.
Trump also took jibes at Harris in a different post where he wrote, "Comrade Kamala Harris is terrible for our Country. She is a Communist, has always been a Communist, and will always be a Communist. Under her 'leadership', the USA will fail, and fail quickly. We will not let that happen!!!"

donOLD doesn’t even know where he is or who he is anymore. He recently thought he was in North Carolina when he was in Pennsylvania. He’s the oldest nominee ever, and he’s suffering massive cognitive decline.
