Publisher's Synopsis
Why did millions of people, about 63 million, vote for Donald Trump who was portrayed as a racist? Is it because they are racist? Is it because the United States is basically a racist country? Many analysts contend Trump won the election because of racism. They claim it was the major factor in his victory. Even some white supremacists say he won because he appealed to white voters to protect their interests. As Jared Taylor bluntly stated, Trump won because he is "the standard bearer of white interests." What role did racism play in his election as president of the United States? Another factor was said to be his anti-immigrant rhetoric. It helped him win the support of tens of millions of white voters who are against immigrants, especially non-whites. The author looks at the controversial subject of immigration and Trump's crackdown on illegal immigrants and what impact it may have on the Republican party in a country where Latinos will play a bigger role in national elections in the future. He also provides some insights into why Clinton lost against a candidate who had no experience in politics, was branded a racist and sexist and what her loss means to the future of the Democratic party. The author sheds some light on one of the most important events in American political history: the election of a man who had no chance of winning, according to political pundits, but who rode to victory on a wave of support from tens of millions of whites in spite of his portrayal in the media and even by some members of his own party as a racist and sexist.
