What does Trump's endorsement of Herschel Walker mean?

First, Walker's black, so if you think Trump's problem is primarily that he's a racist, he's trying to put that myth to bed.

Second, Walker is obviously more loyal and sympathetic to Trump's professed politics than Warnock, so maybe he's just picking a loyalist who can win.

Or, there's the fact that Walker lies, routinely, all the f-ing time, and that's the kind of guys who support Trump.

It is possible that Mr. Trump still has the same racist tendencies that informed his decision not to rent to Black tenants in the 1970s. However, as you say, Mr. Trump values blind, boot licking loyalty above any and all actual virtues.

@CorvusBlackthorne Then in August 2020, Biden told a gathering of black and Hispanic journalists that “unlike the African American community, with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things.”
