RUTHFULLY YOURS

Before Trump took office, conventional wisdom was that American blacks would never vote Republican. As Lyndon Johnson reputedly said after passing the Civil Rights Act, “I’ll have those n****** voting Democratic for the next 200 years.” It didn’t matter that Democrats broke their promises or that their policies worsened the plight of inner-city blacks. Black voters remained loyal. This year, though, after Trump spent four years making a positive difference for black America, blacks are breaking ranks and openly supporting President Trump.

Thomas Sowell wrote in 2016, shortly before Trump was elected, “Black votes matter. If Republicans could get 20 percent of black votes, the Democrats would be ruined.” He added, though, “This is highly unlikely, given the approach used by Republicans.”

Thankfully, Trump jettisoned the traditional Republican approach to blacks, which was to ignore them. He supercharged the economy, which helped blacks. He choked off illegal immigration, which helped blacks. He reversed the disastrous 1994 Crime Bill that sent generations of black sons, brothers, and fathers to prison. He partnered with Sen. Tim Scott to create opportunity zones in black communities. He also worked with faith leaders, academics, musicians, and Kardashians, always with an eye, not to aggrandizing himself, but truly to improving the quality of black life in America.

Trump’s efforts have paid off. Van Jones, a black progressive, has acknowledged that Trump’s efforts have improved life for poor blacks. Van Jones isn’t the only black person to notice these positive changes.

The Wall Street Journal hasn’t endorsed a presidential candidate since 1928—Hoover—and we aren’t about to change this year. But we do try to sum up the risks and promise of the candidates every four years, and we’ll start today with the contradictory candidacy of Joe Biden.

The former Vice President is running as a reassuring moderate, a man of good character who can reunite the country and crush Covid-19 after the disruptive Trump Presidency. Yet he also is running on the most left-wing policy program in decades.

Voters have little idea about these policies because Mr. Biden mentions them only in the most vague, general terms. The press barely reports them. Americans may think they’re voting for Joe’s persona, but they will get the platform of Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

The Democrats want to turn Covid against the president, and they appear to be succeeding. But their strategy makes no sense in the end—perhaps because Joe Biden makes no sense.

The first big problem is that President Trump’s handling of the plague has been sensible from the start. Be careful until treatment improves and a vaccine is ready. Pour all the money and resources you’ve got down the throats of America’s best research labs. This scheme is working. Fatality rates are way down, treatment has improved, and several vaccines are almost ready, all in record time.

It’s hard to attack a plan that is accomplishing its goals. Consider Mr. Biden’s claim that our high Covid death rate is the president’s fault. Actual scientists have other explanations, such as the high rates of pre-existing conditions in the U.S., and New York City—with its large population and population density—being one of our first hot spots and still exercising heavy influence on the figures. Our death rates remain lower than those of several large European countries. This accusation is pure Bidentalk: not merely false but greasy.

If Mr. Biden were a sensible man, he’d be promising more programs like Operation Warp Speed—the federal effort to accelerate the development of a vaccine. Naturally, Americans remain scared of the disease: It is highly infectious and can be serious to the elderly and, occasionally, to others. It’s hard to notice progress when you’re frightened.

Elections are about choices. When it comes to the presidency, the choice is between two people and the policies they likely will pursue. In 2020, I am choosing to vote for the reelection of President Trump and here are the most important reasons why.

Before I list those reasons, I note that four years ago, I wanted three things out of a Trump presidency. First, I wanted him to enact tax and regulatory reform so that the economy could grow beyond the average of 2 percent a year in growth that was the result of years of too much growth in government spending and regulations. Keep in mind, the higher spending and regulation is as a percentage of the economy, the lower economic growth becomes.

Second, I wanted him to keep us safe. I wanted a strong national defense that wouldn’t appease Iran and Russia.

Finally, I wanted President Trump to appoint Judges that would NOT be judicial activists. I wanted the Constitution to preserved.

So, here are the reasons I will vote to reelect President Trump.

Trump Kept His Promises and Is Always Pushing Ahead. Trump promised to do those three things above and, lo and behold, he kept him promises. Indeed, Trump has kept more promises than any President in modern times. He literally shows up to work and demands that progress be made regardless of the time of year or election cycle. Hence, taking on North Korea in an Election year (2018) and Middle East Peace in 2020.

While Moscow was surely tickled over Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s baseless chalking up of verified revelations of politically devastating and national security-threatening Biden family corruption to Russian disinformation, it was Beijing that got the last laugh from the final presidential debate.

During the contest, the former vice president, in effect, made his closing argument to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)—not that it needed reassurance, given Biden’s decades of invaluable support for communist China’s rise.

Biden affirmed that if elected president, America would return to the untenable U.S. posture toward China of weakness, appeasement and managed decline—the position long-favored by the globalist political establishment that backs him—with the CCP’s helping hand.

He did so, in touching upon three topics: the Chinese coronavirus, competition and corruption.

On the coronavirus, Biden made clear that he would neither blame the CCP for its culpability in spreading the disease nor punish it for its malign behavior. The CCP surely took this as a favorable signal. Where President Trump plainly said of the coronavirus, “it’s China’s fault,” former Vice President Biden instead pointed his finger at President Trump, putting every fatality on the president. “Anyone [who] is responsible for…[220,000] deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America,” Biden declared. This from a man who, several times during the debate, claimed he was a unifier of all Americans—63 million of whom voted for the man Biden essentially called a mass murderer.

One would think holding a broadly unpopular China to account for its malign behavior in connection with the disease would be something about which most Americans could agree. At least half the country did as of July 2020, according to Pew. Yet when asked by moderator Kristen Welker of NBC if, as President Trump indicated he would, a would-be President Biden would “make China pay” for its coronavirus cover-up, Biden refused. He replied: “What I’d make China do is play by the international rules. …We need to be having the rest of our friends with us saying to China, ‘These are the rules. You play by them, or you’re going to pay the price for not p[l]aying by them economically.'”
