It seems since the moment Donald J. Trump became the elected President of the United States, he has been called a racist. Celebrities, Democrats, and even a Wikipedia page have produced stories, incidents, and publications showing just how racist Trump is in the eyes of the world. There remain two major flaws in the "Racist" lie concerning President Trump.
The first flaw in the racist chant is the timing. The racist claim came after Trump was elected. Prior to the election, Trump was known as an outstanding member of the community with countless awards from minority groups. Here is a brief list of Trump awards:
Humanitarian Award from the National Jewish Health Group in 1976
Tree of Life Award from the Jewish National fund in 1983
Muhammad Ali Entrepreneur Award in 2007
Algemeiner Liberty Award in 2015
Once you come to the 2016 election, the list of awards continues with the Friends of Zion Award in 2017, and in 2019 Trump Square was named in Petah Tikva, Israel, to honor Trump for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital. In addition to awards, with little to no reconiztion from those calling him racist, Trump as President also:
Upgraded Martin Luther King's birthplace to a national park status ensuring federal funding, support, and the status as a national park.
Trump has focused revitalization on areas to help black communities across the country.
Trump nominated the first African-American Woman to serve as General for the United States Marine Corps.
Trump named Dr. Ben Carson as Secretary of Urban Development and Housing.
Trump named Elaine Chao as Secretary of Transportation.
Trump named Tamara Bonzanto as Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Trump named Hannibal Ware as Inspector General of the Small Business Administration.
Trump named Jason Myung-lk Chung as United States Director of Asian Development Bank.
The list goes on for nominations of women and minorities to various departments, appointed positions, etc. A review of previous Democrat Administrations such as President Carter and President Wilson finds absolutely no diversity in appointments. In fact, President Wilson fired or removed all African Americans in Washington from the moment he took office! Yet, Trump with a huge history of support for minotirities, is somehow called racist. It is simply mind-boggling that anyone would call him a racist in view of so many examples standing against the claim.
Perhaps those calling Trump a racist would respond that all the examples given have been in Trump's "public" life or have been done to draw attention away from his racism. Unfortunately, that argument does not hold water. President Trump has not only dated African American women in his private life, he has also married women from other countries with non-caucasian backgrounds.
In closing, perhaps the most powerful hit against the racist claim can be seen in simple pictures of joy, love, and fun. How can a man, who is supposed to be such a huge racist, reach out, show affection and love for his Jewish grandchildren? His support, love and devotion to those grandchildren goes beyond politics, business, and public images...it goes to the heart of a man who has no racist blood or bones in his body, much less his heart and mind. Trump is not the racist the left would have you believe...in fact, the left should be ashamed of their continued use of the word "racist" when referring to Trump. Their continued use of racist in reference to Trump is a cruel, outright lie, and a clear example of a word that has become a political bomb to be tossed at anyone they do not like.
