Republicans want to pander to big business with promises of cheap labor while pandering to labor with promises of future self-enrichment.

Black workers are the fulcrum that argument turns on. They're the workers you can use as scabs when you need to break up a union. And they're the workers you can blame for Woking and DEIing your professional jobs.

That's why Trump sounds so incoherent around them. He's trying to pander to white nationalists and black labor at the same time, and it comes out as gibberish.
