Manifest destiny today for Donald Trump, is a golden opportunity to gain actual support of Black Voters by creating 1,000 jobs for unskilled youth across America using $30 million from campaign contributions. This initiative would directly impact young people enhancing their economic opportunities and contributing to local communities.
President Trump was the First and Only U.S. President to invite African American Leadership to the table at the White House in February of 2020, for the sole purpose of discussing business development opportunity within the African American Community. All other U.S. Presidents invited Black People for the purpose of Entertainment or Award Events.
Here’s an exploration of how such funds could be effectively utilized versus a political advertising campaign:
Job Opportunities:
- Community Service Projects: Partnering with local governments and nonprofits to fund projects like environmental conservation, park maintenance, and community beautification efforts. These projects not only provide employment but also enhance public infrastructure.
- Social Services Support: Hiring youth to assist in community centers, elderly care facilities, and after-school programs. This not only meets critical community needs but also provides valuable work experience.
- Public Health Initiatives: Supporting public health education campaigns can employ youth while addressing pressing public health issues.
Geographic Distribution:
- Targeting Underserved Areas: Prioritizing regions with high youth unemployment rates, such as rural areas and inner cities, ensures that the impact of the jobs is maximized where it is most needed.
- Collaboration with Local Authorities: Working closely with local governments ensures alignment with community priorities and enhances the sustainability of job creation efforts.
Administrative Considerations:
- Project Management: Allocating a portion of the funds for project management and oversight ensures that the jobs created effectively contribute to community development.
- College Graduates: The use of recent college graduates for management ensures that youth today realize the political process actually engages our citizens.
Community Engagement:
- Stakeholder Involvement: Engaging local community leaders, nonprofits, and businesses in the planning and implementation process fosters collaboration and enhances the sustainability of job creation efforts.
Long-Term Impact:
- Skill Development: While the initiative focuses on immediate job creation without formal training programs, opportunities for on-the-job learning and skills development should be integrated to enhance employability and career advancement prospects.
- Economic Stimulus: The ripple effect of increased employment and spending can stimulate local economies, benefiting businesses and residents alike.
Public Relations and Transparency:
- Communication Strategy: Maintaining transparency in the allocation and utilization of campaign funds builds trust with donors and the public, highlighting the positive impact of their contributions.
- Impact Reporting: Regularly reporting on the outcomes and successes of the initiative demonstrates accountability and encourages continued support from stakeholders.
Manifest destiny in the 21st century involves recognizing our limitations and evolving the narrative to reflect modern realities. While the belief in American exceptionalism can inspire unity and Christian values, it must be tempered with humility and a willingness to learn from past mistakes. Within the United States and in its interactions with the world, the Presidential election of 2024 should enrich the national dialogue and strengthens relationships nationwide.
