Social media reactions to ‘A Rare Find: Jamaican Trump backer in New York’

• Not that rare, I know quite a few of them. – @AbrahamsKirk

• Definitely not a rare find. I’m sure a few businessmen in Jamaica would vote for him. If I’m not mistaken, one got called out for his support of him. – @CrystalGayleW

• Wish this were misleading information, but sadly it’s true. A few Jamaicans do support Trump but it’s because they don’t care about their fellow countrymen. – @FabulousA46

• There’s always that one embarrassment. – @davariari

• I know a few, and ask, why? The older always point to Democrats as originally racists and elitists. The younger spout conspiracy theories. But in all honesty, all that Trump has said and done, one would think it would be a landslide for the democrats, electoral college aside. – @wackiedon

• Too bad the life and legacy of the great John Lewis don’t mean a thing to him and many others. – @pew60564679

• Anyone who was in the stock market over the last four years will have to admit that the stock market under Trump has been on fire, even with some downturns in the market. So some minorities have decided to hold their noses and vote for Trump. – @JeffreyLDonova1

• Jamaica is more of a Republican state, if one should check. There are so many Jamaicans I know of who support Trump. – @RyRyWilson3

• Most Jamaicans are deeply conservative, so they find a home in the Republican party. – @twizzle876

• A vote that is not race-based. – @MizzyII

I have met many people from the Caribbean and West Africa who are pro-Trump, including my Jamaican mother! – @AndeRichards

• Sometimes success makes us forget who we are. – @sudbury3065

• Remember that there were black leaders in Africa that facilitated and participated in the sale of our people into slavery. So I am not surprised, but disappointed. – @errolthompson61
