Former President Donald Trump has claimed that his criminal indictments and legal challenges, including a mugshot from the Fulton County criminal election interference case, have increased his popularity among Black Americans. During a speech at the Black Conservative Federation Gala and in Columbia, SC, Trump suggested that his experience with the legal system resonates with Black Americans due to their own experiences with discrimination and injustice. Trump stated, "The Black people like me because I am being discriminated against," and highlighted that his mugshot is "number one" among the Black population. He further remarked, "Black people are so much on my side" and "I’m being indicted for you, the Black population," indicating he believes there is a shared sense of being wronged by the legal system.
