This weekend, while President Biden attended a fundraiser with rich Hollywood celebs and his stage guide, former President Obama, Donald Trump made an appearance in Detroit:
Former President Donald Trump held a roundtable discussion in Detroit on Saturday, as his campaign attempts to court Black voters away from President Joe Biden in this year’s election.
Trump spoke about a myriad of topics in a speech that lasted around 20 minutes, including subjects he’s repeatedly addressed in his campaign, like inflation, Biden’s handling of the U.S. southern border with Mexico and his general opposition to an embrace of electric vehicles. Following the speech, a 20-minute roundtable discussion with small business owners and other community members moderated by U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., took place.
But in a city he only received 5% of the vote in four years ago, he also pitched himself as a better choice for Black voters than Biden, telling a diverse crowd he would crack down on crime, improve the country’s economic outlook and in general, do more for Black Americans than Biden has.
The Left's been mocking Trump's event in Detroit, but that's out of panic. Biden's going to have to rehash his "you ain't black" lectures if he keeps losing support in that voting demographic.
This didn't escape the notice of a CNN polling analyst:

"We are careening towards a historic performance for a Republican presidential candidate the likes of which we have not seen in SIX DECADES."

Maybe Biden should do more campaign events with George Clooney and Julia Roberts.
Corporate media has spent 8 years, in consensus, branding Trump a racist and White Nationalist.

Meanwhile, actual Black voters are migrating away from Dems/Biden to Trump in what even CNN is describing as a historic shift (following Latino voters):pic.twitter.com/QmBi29WRmp
I'm starting to think that that perhaps highly paid journalists and pundits who work for giant East Coast media corporations don't actually speak for -- or even to -- the people on whose behalf they constantly purport to represent.

It's abundantly clear that the Biden campaign lying to people about how great everything's going because of "Bidenomics" isn't working because of, well, reality. But there's a long way to go until November and as we know anything can happen up to (and even on) Election Day.
Maybe the Biden campaign is hoping that not being shy about showing the public who's actually running the show at the White House will win back some of the support they're losing:

There were three people on stage: The person calling the shots at the White House, along with Jimmy Kimmel and Joe Biden.
