ABSTRACT

This chapter looks at some interactions that Donald J. Trump has had with African Americans, especially in context of the "hell" in which they live, an observation Trump himself made. It explores not only the results of the negative influence Trump's dealing with Black people produces, and explores his and his family's documented history of racism and questionable behavior. To better understand Trump's contempt for Black citizens, and the outgoing president in particular, however, the authors must flashback to Obama's first term in office. Trump, and people who think like him, were very angry that a Black man was leading America. He and others were also concerned that Obama was not acting forceful enough toward radical Islam. During his campaign, Trump seemed to be baiting a race war, though his moves were either lost on society or not taken seriously by Americans and their media.
