The Real Reason Trump and Vance Are Spreading Lies About Haitians

Investing in Rust Belt communities would not fix what they see as the actual problem.
  • One reason is Trump has a particular, well-documented hatred toward Haitians.
  • Another reason is Trump and Vance appear not to be interested in helping anyone in Springfield, or anywhere else for that matter.
  • Trump’s and Vance’s statements reveal a belief that it would be better to leave dying towns in the Midwest to wither away than revive them and have to share that prosperity with people who are Black, and they seem to be betting that enough American voters in enough swing states agree that it would be better to be broke than integrated.
