Trump and some of his allies are facing RICO charges in Georgia for rigging the state’s 2020 presidential election. Some commentators and even Trump himself have said it could help establish him in the black community.
Last August, Trump became the first US president in history to be executed after he turned himself into Georgia authorities after being indicted by a Fulton County grand jury on 13 charges. His shot was taken when he was sent to prison in Atlanta for rigging the election in question.
