Jay'La Sims - Trump campaign using targeted Facebook posts to discourage black Americans from voting

SUMMARY: A new report has received information on Trump's strategy. Businessweek published a look into the campaign and explained the Trumps campaign organized data. The campaign is trying to decrease votes of Hillary Clinton. Trump campaign reportedly created a cartoon animation with Clinton repeating her now-infamous line about "super predators," pairing it with the text, "Hillary Thinks African Americans are Super Predators." There's nothing new about opponents trashing each other but using Facebook is a different strategy.

ANALYSIS: This article was written by Colin Lecher. It is also recent from October 27. Articles like this are very important especially since people are now voting. It shows us the inside of Trumps campaign and his tactics. I'm not surprised by this information and it seems like something his campaign would do. This can connect to the corrupt bargain.
