The Trump campaign organized the Black American Business Leaders Barbershop Roundtable in Atlanta in which several prominent figures held a candid discussion about the election, former President Donald Trump’s policies and their thoughts on what should be important to Black voters today.
ATLANTA – The Trump campaign organized the Black American Business Leaders Barbershop Roundtable discussion in Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon ahead of the highly-anticipated showdown between the former and current presidents.
The event featured a candid discussion between several prominent Black leaders on former President Donald Trump’s track record, policies and his potential to win the 2024 election.
Among the plethora of topics brought up was Trump’s new “No Tax on Tips” policy, which aims to benefit hospitality workers by exempting their tips from taxation.
The discussion comes amid critiques of the current economic situation under President Joe Biden’s administration. The Trump campaign has argued that Biden’s economic policies have left Black Americans struggling with higher prices and lower wages, with “Bidenflation” disproportionately affecting Black households.
In addition to economic concerns, the campaign has highlighted issues of safety and crime, attributing increased drug overdoses and community safety challenges to Biden’s policies. The Trump campaign pointed to the former president’s past efforts, such as investments in Opportunity Zones and support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities, as examples of his commitment to improving the lives of Black Americans.
