Donald Trump’s efforts to woo black voters have been, for lack of a better word, unconventional. In an article this week seeking to answer whether Trump’s African-American outreach is sincere, The Washington Post appears to come down on the side of yes. Trump, they note, was quite popular within the African-American community before he ran for office. Admiring rap artists have recorded odes like ‘Black Trump’ and ‘Trump Change.’ ‘I think people say, “If I won the lottery, that’s how I’d want to live,”’ says Roger Stone. General Steele, who is half of the hip-hop duo Smif-N-Wessun, more or less echoed Stone’s theory in explaining why they recorded the song “Black Trump” nearly two decades ago.
