President Donald Trump boasted about his poll numbers, his gratitude for Kanye West and how Democrats “have done nothing” for African-Americans on Friday while speaking to Turning Point USA’s Young Black Leadership — a group of conservative students. The passion and energy from the crowd in the White House’s East Room resembled that of Trump’s MAGA rallies out on the road as chants of “USA” and “build that wall” broke out in support of the president.
