On Wednesday, President Trump arrived in Atlanta for a high-dollar fundraiser. Along the way, he stopped at a local Chick-fil-A, where he was warmly welcomed by workers and HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) students.
One of the students who welcomed President Trump was Michael Montgomery, founder of Preserve the Culture.
Montgomery shouted to the president, “I don't care what the media tells you, Mr. Trump, we support you,” before a smiling Trump invited her for a photo and an appreciative hug.
Montgomery joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss her experience and had harsh words for the media.
Speaking to Lawrence Jones, Montgomery said, “The general consensus or social media would make you think that if President Trump came to HBCU (historically black colleges and universities) campuses… well, there would be some angry mob. There would be gatherings or riots and that would not be welcome, and clearly the feeling in that room that day was quite the opposite.
“He was very welcoming. People were excited to see him. People came out in support of him, and people, of course, were from all four institutions at AUC (Atlanta University Center), the local HBCU community in Atlanta, and they all came out in support of him,” she said.
Recalling the conversation, she said, “I really appreciate that we were able to not only tell them that no matter what social media says… I know they were trying to make us think that We're supposed to hate you, but we don't.” Tea.”
“And furthermore, it was a learning experience for my students because they were able to see and experience firsthand how the media can distort an opinion or perception of a person.”
“Because, as I said, to think that these students who study at these prestigious institutions are not smart enough to make their own decisions, so much so that they would only show support for Trump because they bought chicken sandwiches and milkshakes Were…that in itself is the most disturbing part of all this.”
He added, “Especially when you think about the fact that it was primarily urban media outlets that were doing everything in their power to turn other black people against these young black kids who had other options.” “Wasn't shy about finding out.”
Montgomery points to the authenticity of his caucus and ability to communicate clearly about his agenda for his rising polling numbers in the black community.
In 2020, Trump made significant gains among black voters and in 2024, the numbers are even higher.
Trump's support among black men and women has doubled since 2020, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll.
“They feel like he is honest. He feels like this is someone who, even though we may not agree with how he says things, how he thinks about things, at least he's telling us what it is. ,” Montgomery shared.
“We don't feel like this is a snake sitting in the grass waiting for a chance to bite us. This is someone telling us this is my plan. Here's how I plan to implement it. Here are the people involved, and here's how you can get involved.”
He added, “He feels like he is more trustworthy. They really feel like it's someone who is talking to them, not just saying what they want to hear.
