Newsweek highlighted the unexpected nature of this endorsement, considering BLM’s typical association with left-wing politics, contrasting with Trump’s right-wing populist stance.

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.
Fisher further highlighted a divergence on issues such as unrestricted abortion services, noting that many Blacks do not align with the Democrat stance.
The interview concluded with Fisher asserting that “Trump has done more for the Black community than any president I can think of.”
