Donald Trump's Platinum Plan
BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL
Increase access to capital in black communities by almost $500 billion
Prosperous Black Communities
Fueling Access To Capital For Black Owned Businesses
Make Juneteenth a National Holiday
Prosecute the KKK and ANTIFA as terrorist organizations and make lynching a national hate crime
Sorry white America, you'll have to settle for the Gold Plan (except for any of you who are now part of terrorist organizations).

The President's "Platinum Plan" also proposes recognizing Juneteenth, the widely observed holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the United States, as a federal holiday.
The Trump campaign scheduled a rally on Juneteenth in Tulsa, Oklahoma -- the site of a 1921 massacre of hundreds of African Americans during racial unrest in the historic section of the city known as "Black Wall Street."
Trump said before the rally that it wasn't scheduled on Juneteenth "on purpose," but after the event, which his campaign rescheduled in order to avoid further criticism, he sought credit for popularizing the holiday.
Trump told The Wall Street Journal that "nobody had ever heard of" the holiday before he brought it up.
"I did something good: I made Juneteenth very famous," Trump said.
