Former President Trump's Controversial Remarks on Black and Hispanic Jobs Spark Backlash: A Look at the Debate Response

Broke On: Saturday, 29 June 2024 During the 2024 presidential debate, former President Trump sparked controversy by commenting on Black and Hispanic jobs, leading to criticism from politicians and social media users. The term 'Black job' left many confused as Trump discussed immigrants taking American jobs.
