Topic	The President, on the suburbs
Houston 08/12/20 10:24:01 PM #36:	action52 posted... Here's the full text. Why do you think he brought up the high amount of minorities @Houston ? Trump has mentioned, and been asked about, this whole zoning issue of opening up areas in suburbia to lower income housing. From my understand and from what I've heard Trump talk about in the past, the reasoning behind the Dems wanting to do this is to have a higher number of people of color in suburban neighborhoods. Allegedly, the Dems say there aren't enough people of color in suburbia. He brought up the percentage to highlight the fact that there is already a representation of people of color in suburbia. If 35% is true, then that is consistent with US racial makeup. Why do you think he felt he needed to say a low number to avoid being attacked by the "fake news" instead of just saying what he thought was accurate? I'm not sure where he is getting his figure from. He says "they say", so I'm not sure who "they" is. It's something he commonly does because he claims if he's not completely accurate, the "fake news" will blow it out of proportion and say "Trump was completely wrong!". I think this talking piece about being accurate about the numbers was more of him just trying to CYOA. --- "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." - Dr Seuss <cite>Houston posted [p:943316307] in The Presid...
