Donald Trump has pulled no punches in his latest commentary regarding the lack of enthusiasm among black male voters for Vice President Kamala Harris. Reflecting on former President Barack Obama’s recent remarks at a Harris campaign office in Pittsburgh, Trump couldn’t help but suggest that the former president’s candid admission might not bode well for the current administration. In the comedy club that is modern American politics, Trump’s quip was nothing short of brilliant—it appears Obama might be feeling the heat. Perhaps we should consider voting for Trump instead.
President Trump says, “I think Obama will be voting for me” after he admitted there’s a lack of enthusiasm for Kamala.

As Obama lamented the low energy from black male voters toward Harris and characterized their lack of support as “not acceptable,” Trump seized the moment. His social media post suggested that if Obama is admitting to a total flop in connecting with black men, maybe the former president is quietly signaling his support for Trump. After all, it’s not every day a former president has to acknowledge how unappealing an incumbent’s running mate is to the electorate. Trump’s jab about Harris being “an extremely Low IQ Person” has certainly stirred the pot and sparked conversations across the political spectrum.
In a follow-up post, Trump wasted no time pivoting to the issues that matter to minority voters. He highlighted the ongoing border crisis and its detrimental impact on job opportunities for both black and Hispanic communities. This is the kind of pragmatic messaging that resonates with voters who are tired of being overlooked in favor of progressive agendas that seem more focused on identity politics than real solutions. It’s a telling moment when the former president is able to effectively shine a light on the Democrats’ failures regarding border control while tapping into the concerns of minority populations.
Meanwhile, an ally of Harris responded to Trump’s observations with a simple “LMAO,” which may have been intended as a dismissal but instead reveals an insecurity about the troubled state of the Harris campaign. Humor often hides a deeper concern, and in this case, it seems that laughter is their way of deflecting from the fact that the enthusiasm deficit among black male voters is a real alarm bell for the Democrats. It’s one thing to chuckle at a social media post, but it’s another to acknowledge the dismal polling numbers and lack of engagement from crucial demographics.
Obama, the trailblazer who broke barriers by becoming the first black president, found himself in Pittsburgh advocating for Harris, who, should she win, would be the first black woman president. Yet, the stark reality is that his endorsements and passionate speeches aren’t enough to ignite the passion he once inspired. Polls have indicated that while minority voters were expected to rally behind Harris in the upcoming election, Trump’s growing appeal among traditionally Democratic groups is forcing the Left to revise its strategy. In 2020, Biden’s support among black male voters was a whopping 79%, but now the winds of change tickle the sails of Trump’s campaign.
The dynamics are shifting, and Harris’s struggle to energize black male voters is a glaring sign that the narrative of progressivism is faltering under scrutiny. The stakes may be high—especially for the Democrats—but the most entertaining development of all? Watching the usual leftist scripts crumble amidst the laughter and jabs from the right.
