Donald Trump made a direct appeal to African-American voters on Tuesday in Wisconsin amid the backdrop of weekend riots in Milwaukee after a police-involved shooting, vowing to improve inner cities by creating jobs, ending illegal immigration and reversing the "liberal Democratic policies that have essentially failed those who need the most help in this country."
"[Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton] doesn't care at all about the hurting people of this country or the suffering she has caused them — and she meaning she and her party officials — because there has been tremendous suffering because of what they have brought," Trump told a rally at the Washington County Fair Park and Conference Center in West Bend, west of Milwaukee.
"The African-American community has been taken for granted for decades by the Democratic Party and look how they are doing. It's time to break with the failures of the past.
"I want to offer Americans a new and much better future," Trump said. "It's time for rule by the people, not rule for the special interest, which is what we have right now.
"A lot of people who have created problems will lose a lot of their contracts and a lot of their money if African-American voters and all the minority voters support my campaign," Trump later said. "It's time to stop making the special interests rich.
"It's time to make the American people much richer than they have ever been before."
