Hah, the article was removed https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/forbes-removes-column-that-asks-if-trump-surviving-shooting-will-appeal-to-black-voters/

The author mentioned Trump attempted to sway black voters after he was indicted on various criminal charges and his mugshot was taken in one of his cases last year.

“Hopefully, being shot doesn’t become a similarly problematic strategy to link Trump with an experience that far too many (not all) Black people have,” part of the column reads.

Seems like it was supposed to be sorta the opposite of what it ended up being.

Oh, so it’s a classic case of ‘any question asked in a headline can just be answered with no’?

Well I wouldn’t put it past him. He wasn’t shot by the police though.

It’s a right-wing Rupert Murdoch tabloid.
