He suggested a shift in sentiment, stating, “I feel like the tide is starting to turn,” emphasizing a growing departure from what he referred to as the “Democratic plantation.” Fisher criticized the Democratic Party, characterizing its policies as racist and detrimental to the Black family, while praising Trump as the opposite.

The interview concluded with Fisher asserting that “Trump has done more for the Black community than any president I can think of.”
