Jason Whitlock on why working-class black men plan to vote for Donald Trump



Fani Willis and the Democrat Party might have thought Donald Trump's mug shot would portray him as a villain to voters — but they couldn’t have been more wrong.

“The backlash of martyring Donald Trump: it’s a real thing,” says Jason Whitlock of "Fearless."

“The former president’s mug shot from a Fulton County jail has given black men the space to abandon the cosplay of painting Trump as the second coming of Adolf Hitler,” he adds.

It seems that Whitlock is right.

Derrick Gibson, a black man and former New York State gubernatorial candidate, has gone viral for declaring himself the leader of the “N****s 4 Trump 2024” movement. The viral video has been circulating on social media and shows Gibson wearing a shirt that reflects that sentiment outside the Fulton County jail the day Trump was arrested.

“I’m here to support president Trump,” Gibson is seen telling the camera, adding that the government has historically made up charges and locked black men up “for decades.”

“So I know Trump is innocent. I support Trump against this corrupt two-tier justice system, that’s why I’m here, to show my support as a black man for Trump,” Gibson explained.

Despite not agreeing with the vulgarity Gibson’s shirt reflects, Whitlock believes he “captures the sentiment of working-class black men.”

However, Whitlock believes it won’t just resonate with black Americans, but all Americans.

“Americans love to rebel. It’s in our blood. This Trump-led rebellion will only grow stronger. I say that because Trump isn’t really leading this rebellion; he’s just the avatar, the symbol,” he says.

Gibson even had a message for Fani Willis, who he claims went to school with his sister.

“She’s full of s**t,” he says. “She’s a puppet for the white liberal that is controlling everything. She’s in front, but the white liberal back there pulling those strings, telling her what to do.”

When a reporter asked Gibson if he thought this would help Trump’s election, he responded, “Of course it is, it’s going to elevate him all the way.”

“I think we should make Trump king, that’s how I feel,” he added.

Donald Trump’s persecution marks him as a sinner in need of a savior



Freedom cannot be preserved by people who are enslaved to their sin.

This week, Jason Whitlock weighed in on the news that former President Trump may soon be arrested for tax fraud in relation to a $130,000 hush-money payment to a porn star, Stormy Daniels.

“There’s little doubt that the charges being formulated against Trump are politically motivated and far more persecution than legitimate prosecution,” Whitlock said.

To drive the point home, Whitlock explained, “For a multibillionaire such as Trump, it’s the equivalent of arresting a factory worker for falsely writing off a $13 McDonald’s lunch.”

However, there is biblical imagery prevalent in the situation in which Trump finds himself.

Donald Trump has described himself as “the only thing standing in the way of the American dream and total anarchy, madness, and chaos” and as the American people’s “voice,” “warrior,” and “retribution.”

It seems that the full force of those on the left has banded together to figuratively crucify who they see as a stand-in for the American people.

“[Trump] needs to embrace the cross; we all do. Anyone with a sincere interest in saving America has to be willing to embrace persecution. That’s the time we’re living in; it’s the time we’ve created,” said Whitlock.

No one is exempt from their need for the one and only savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

America’s declining morality has been eating away at the foundation of the country for decades. But to save a Christian nation, there must be a return to Christian values.

Eradicating the sin in each individual’s life would do infinitely more for the restoration of America than complaining about the left on social media.

We are in a deeply spiritual battle, and there is only one solution.

“I’m no different from Donald Trump. I took American freedom for granted, I reveled in the secular pleasures America affords in abundance, and ignored the doings of the people who despise this country’s founding documents, principles, and values,” Whitlock said.

Only Christ can save this nation from the dark place to which it is headed. Trump cannot save us. Politicians cannot save us.

If each of us were to lay our sins and lives at the foot of the cross, America would have a better chance of survival than if our preferred political candidate was elected.
