19. Cannot Afford A Clinton Presidency

Tue Sep 6, 2016, 12:02 PM

Sep 2016

Maybe some of the wealthy blacks who are telling black people not to vote actually want Donald Trump to win, but do not want to have to deal with the scorn and loss of fans that would come from backing Trump. P. Diddy would most likely get a large tax cut if Donald Trump were to win the election. If Hillary Clinton won the election, under the best case scenario his taxes would stay the same. Under the worse case scenario his taxes would go up. So, maybe it is not just that he can afford a Trump presidency; it is that he cannot afford, or does not want to pay the price of a Clinton presidency.
