It’s beyond me how people can just keep on parroting that President Trump is racist. 49% of Democrats evidently believe that. And the leftist media is still claiming that Trump said that white supremacists at Charlottesville were “very fine people,” despite the fact that he clearly said exactly the opposite. The left considers everyone on the right racist… in fact, if you are white, you are by their definition, racist. So this brainwashed drivel keeps going on and on and is no surprise.
You might remember that Trump took a picture in 1986 with Muhammad Ali and Rosa Parks. He also won an Ellis Island award that is supposed to, “embody the spirit of America in their celebration of patriotism, tolerance, brotherhood, and diversity.” Did that satisfy the left? Nope, they have intentional selective amnesia when it comes to Trump. President Trump also donated to Sharpton’s original organization, the National Youth Movement, cut the ribbon at the 2002 conventions of Sharpton’s current group, the National Action Network, and gave rent-free space to Jessie Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. While I don’t agree with those actions, it sure puts the lie to him being a white supremacist. Former professional football player Herschel Walker is also a close friend of Trump’s and bluntly says he’s not a racist. Still not good enough for the left.
No president in my memory has done more for black Americans than Trump. Black unemployment was at record lows before the virus hit. Remember, more than a million black Americans voted for Trump in 2016 and the polls indicate a much larger number will vote for him this time.
