Three years ago, in the midst of the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump, then the Republican presidential candidate, clearly made clear that there was "nothing to lose" to African American voters.

"The areas inhabited by blacks are dirty and very bad," Trump said, and their living conditions would only be known to improve during his rule.

After more than two and a half years in the White House, the president has not stopped stirring up controversy with racist slogans and political stances that bemoan the black-skinned Americans.

In statements to reporters at the White House on Tuesday, he denied being racist, saying he was "the least racist anywhere in the world," but what has been seen in recent days and weeks contradicts those statements.

Continuous attacks

A few days ago, Trump was accused of racism after being attacked by Democratic Rep. Of Baltimore, Maryland, Elijah Cummings, who is a member of Martin Luther King's anti-racism campaign.

Trump said the MP's department was "disgusting and rat-festering," angering Democrats who denounced a new "racist attack" by the US president.

Trump Cummings has been accused of "brutally" criticizing border police officers for holding illegal immigrants on the southern border, "while his Baltimore district is much worse and more dangerous."

Trump later added that the Cummings constituency was the worst in the United States, a disgusting mess, narrowing with rats and other biting animals. "If he had spent more time in Baltimore, he might have helped clean up this dirty and dangerous place," he said. Trump.

Blacks account for more than 70 percent of the city's 620,000 people, most of whom vote for Democrats.

In her book "The Idiot," Omarosa Manigolt described the former US president's assistance, Trump as racist and that he used the word "nigger" a lot.

Negro is no longer accepted by Americans in general or by politicians in particular, and is used only for white racists who insist on the end of the era of slavery and the granting of equal rights to the rights of whites.

According to a number of experts, Trump occasionally flirts with this voting bloc with racist slogans.

Trump's double attack on important political symbols of the American minority, to talk about his motives and racism, and if he deliberately uses them to ignite the enthusiasm of his right-wing electoral rules.

Inquiry
A survey of his tweets by the US national radio concluded his focus on attacking African-American symbols who oppose him, while praising those who praise his policies from black Americans. The investigation focused on three months of nine hundred tweets, of which 50 were focused on African Americans.

Trump was targeted by American soccer player Colin Kapernik, who refused to greet the American flag and stand in the national anthem at the start of the match, in protest at police practices against blacks.

"The issue is about respect for our country, our flag and our national anthem, the American football league must respect this," he said, calling on the fans to boycott the league and also calling on clubs to expel players who do not respect science.

The president also attacked Black Congressman Maxen Walter of California, a critic of his policies and positions. "She is an abnormal woman with very weak mental abilities, crazy," he said.

On various occasions, the basketball star Trump attacked the black player of LeBron James, and also targeted CNN anchor and host Don Limon, as well as his former adviser, Umarusa Manigolt, who he described as nothing more than a dog.

The former candidate for governor of Georgia, Stacy Abram, a black American, was accused of "loving crimes".

Before that, Trump led the campaign of questioning US President Barack Obama and claimed he was non-American, that he was born outside the United States, and challenged Obama to show his birth certificate.

Then he said during a ceremony in January 2018 that he would prefer to receive white immigrants from Western European countries. "Why do all these people come from scum countries?" He said, referring to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador, Black.

"We need more Haitians," Trump said. "We have to get people from countries like Norway."

Praise white racists
The rise of Trump was also a clear anger at the social and demographic changes in America in the last 50 years, with the proportion of the white population falling to 60%, compared to 18% of Hispanics (mainly Mexicans), 13% of African blacks, 6% of Asians, Variety.

Trump's racist rhetoric against all non-white Christians was not enough to discourage Republicans from choosing to represent them. It seemed to be the direct and most important cause of his victory by those who wanted a white Christian America.

The incident in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which groups of white supremacists organized a rally in August 2018, Trump expressed his implicit support for them after the death of one of the protesters who objected to the rally to white supremacists.

He commented on the violence there that "there were very good people on both sides," describing the events as "a bad display of hatred, intolerance and violence from several sides", equating racists with those who resisted them.

The writer and academic Aban Henry believes that Trump's talk about blacks and celebrities is inseparable from America's racist history of targeting African Americans.

Henry said what the president says supports the ugly racist idea that "some groups are not as valuable and as important as other groups."

Indeed, President Trump has nothing to lose to black voters. A recent ABC News poll showed that only 3 percent of African Americans agree with Trump's policies and positions, 97% of blacks.
