In 2016, Donald J. Trump descended Trump Tower’s golden escalator with a brazen, ungodly strategy: exploit racism to win the U.S. presidency. His fierce opposition to Barack Obama’s successful, scandal-free presidency helped that strategy succeed. Sadly, America has been socioeconomically racially divided since 1492, and Trump exploited those divisions, aided by the fact that only 40% of White Americans are college educated. Formal education fosters logical reasoning over the emotional thinking that underlies racism. In discussing two Alaska senatorial candidates with identical names, Trump said: “GOP Voters do not know what incumbent means, and therefore, they would be confused”. Trump’s statement is truth serum in the pudding, and His administration is not only racist, but thoroughlyungodly-corrupt. Treating money as the measure of human worth and dignity invites societal disintegration.
