Rapper Lil Wayne praises Donald Trump’s plan for black Americans days ahead of election

Lil Wayne praised Donald Trump’s work on criminal justice reform after meeting with the president to discuss his plan to help black Americans.

The rapper said Mr Trump’s “platinum plan” will give the black community “real ownership”.

Alongside a picture of the pair smiling and giving a thumbs up, the hip-hop star said on Twitter: "Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump.

"Besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done. "

Mr Trump unveiled the “platinum plan” in September and said it was designed to provide an economic boost to the black community.

Proposals include making Juneteenth – a day which commemorates the end of slavery in the US – a federal holiday.

Aducanumab could be a huge drug - a big area of unmet need and would be the first drug approved for Alzheimer’s disease. FDA approval by March 2021??? Discovered by a German Biotech (Neurimmune) working with the Zurich university and licensed to Biogen.

max - reverse logic. It will be the Brexiteers once they see post 01/01/21 that will have forgotten why they voted.
Boris just has to work out how he can sell it to the 50%+. You are one of the only posters here who understands that, as you know.

For a lot of people, it was forced upon them, not a choice to take ppi.

Donald Trump approval rating: President's approval surges four days from election
DONALD TRUMP and Joe Biden have four days left until US election voting concludes,


with both now closing out their respective campaigns ahead of November 3. While

polls suggest an incoming victory for the Democrat nominee, the President is

making some late gains in approval.


President Donald Trump has suffered from a severe deficit in the polls this year,

as he tackles the coronavirus pandemic and growing social unrest with little

success. His critics accused him of deepening divisions across the country, and

his image took a hit following a bout with COVID-19. But he has started to recover

as experts suggest the polling chasm between the two candidates will narrow.

According to the latest polls, support for the President has recently surged.

He has spent the last couple of weeks trying to escape from a well of disapproval, his highest since July.

Poll aggregators with FiveThirtyEight found an average of 54.2 percent of people disapproved of the President on October 16.

The same analysts found 56.1 percent of people disapproved of the President back in June.


But just days before the election, his approval has crept up.

FiveThirtyEight notes just 52.8 percent of people disapprove of him now, while 43.9 percent approve of him.

Much of his approval comes from Republicans, a vast majority of whom currently believe the President is doing a good job.

A poll released by Gallup shows 95 percent of Republicans approve of Mr Trump's progress so far.

But that wasn't an incumbent vs challenger. It doesn't apply when two challengers go head to head.

Trump victory! Political scientist claims US President WILL defy odds again in US election


DONALD TRUMP will defeat Democrat Joe Biden to win the upcoming US Presidential

election, a political scientist has predicted. While Joe Biden has been leading

President Trump in most national opinion polls heading into the November 3

election, American political scientist Helmut Norpoth claimed the Republican is

heading for victory.


By REBECCA PERRING


Mr Norpoth said that Mr Trump has a 91 percent chance of winning compared to his rival Mr Biden, who has just 9 percent of taking the US Presidential crown. The political scientist’s predictions, in a study released in March, is based on the so-called primary model, which analyses the previous six elections that have taken place in the US. Mr Norpoth has predicted the results of five US elections correctly with the only mistake being Al Gore's defeat to George W Bush in 2000.


He said his predictions are based on the first party primaries and "the way in which the candidates develop in those first elections”.

The political scientist said this “is a very good indicator of what will happen in November”.

Writing on the Stony Brook University, where he works as a professor of Political Science, he said: “On the Democratic side, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders split the Democratic primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina, while Trump comfortably won the Republican primaries in New Hampshire.

“When I saw that in New Hampshire Trump got 85 percent of the vote and that the closest opponent was Bill Weld with 10 percent, I was pretty sure what the model was going to predict.
