Black Americans, Hispanics, and young adults are all more positive on US President Donald Trump than they were eight years ago, helping to drive up his approval rating higher than it was during the first three months of his first term.

Semafor? I mean news in general ought to be questioned but the publication is generally fine.

edit: That being said, I find it believable. I'm in LA and my black and Mexicano bosses LOVE Trump. I'd say easily half the Latinos in my work force are Trumpers. It's unsettling af.

Huh interesting. Here in the Midwest he's not very popular rn. Neighbors taking down flags and everything. Wisconsin gave him a massive middle finger in their recent Supreme Court election and they were super into him last year. It was nuts like even the red counties saw a sizeable increase in blue votes.

I'm happy to hear it. Here, it's the six figure, and close to six figure making black and Mexican Americans who like him. Most are fairly quiet about it because they know they're fucking wrong but my shitty bosses boast about it.
