After all, he's president of the most powerful country in the world
Trump has a funny way of being a racist:
He's executed a white supremacist.
He deported the Nazi living in NY for decades.
Attempting to defund Planned Parenthood
He's helped to free a black rapper from a foreign jail.
He's presided over historic levels of low unemployment among minorities and raising wages.
He's passed prison reform that directly benefits families of black men.
He calls out absent leaders of a city where minorities are the main victims of crime and blight.
It’s the liberal machine inflicting the suffering. No wonder they want Trump to shut up about it.

His list of female appointees is long: Nikki Haley, Ambassador to the United Nations (not only a woman but also child of Indian American Sikh immigrants); Elaine Chao, Secretary of Transportation; Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security; Dr. Heather Wilson, Secretary of the Air Force; Sarah Sanders, White House Press Secretary; Kellyanne Conway, Counselor to the President; Linda McMahon, Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration; Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education; Jovita Carranza, U.S. Treasurer (also a minority and first-generation Mexican American immigrant); Neomi Rao, Regulation Czar (also a minority and daughter of parents from India); Seema Verma, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (also a minority); Heather Brand, Associate Attorney General; Kelly Sadler, Director of Surrogate & Coalitions Outreach; Mercedes Schlapp, Senior Communications Advisor (also a minority whose father was once a political prisoner of Fidel Castro); Ivanka Trump, Advisor to the President; Hope Hicks, Communications Director; Jessica Ditto, Deputy Director of Communications; and Dina Powell, Deputy National Security Adviser who according to White House sources will remain in her position through the end of January and will likely be replaced by another woman after Powell completes her first year in office
When Trump took office only 5 countries: the U.S., Britain, Greece, Poland, Estonia, spent the expected 2 percent of their GDP or more on defense.
Currently the 7 countries: United States, Britain, Greece, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
NATO Sec General Stoltenberg also said that by the end of 2020, allies will have invested $130 billion more since 2016. (When Trump took office) They have even reevaluated the budget share as well saving the US $150M a yr by agreeing that the US will NOT pay more than the next highest paying member (Germany).
So yes, countries starting to pay their share.
In response to Russian interference in the 2016 election and other malfeasance, the Trump Administration has sanctioned Russian oligarchs and intelligence entities.
Throughout 2017 and 2018, the U.S. sanctioned numerous Russian actors for violating non-proliferation laws by supporting weapons programs in Iran and Syria, and supporting North Korea's development of weapons of mass destruction.
The Trump Administration has issued sanctions against more than one hundred Russian actors and firms for Russia's destabilizing actions in Ukraine and its ongoing occupation of Crimea.
In March 2017, in response to Russia's use of a military-grade chemical weapon in the United Kingdom, the Trump Administration ordered multiple Russian consulates in the United States closed and expelled 60 Russian intelligence officers.
Due to sanctions imposed by the Trump Administration, the Russian economy and Russian geo-economic projects have been severely constrained.
In 2018, as Russian investors reacted to new sanctions, the Russian Ruble made its biggest fall in over three years, and, as of July 2018, is down nearly nine percent against the dollar.
As a part of its sanctions against Russia, the United States has prevented numerous companies from partnering with Russian offshore oil projects, denying these projects access to capital and key resources.
The Trump Administration has also opposed Russian President Vladimir Putin's largest geo-economic project, the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which could generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for Russia.
In the wake of Russian provocations, President Trump has exercised U.S. military power and worked to bolster U.S. allies in Europe.
In 2017, President Trump approved the sale of lethal weapons to Ukraine addressing the country's vulnerability to Russian-backed separatists in its eastern provinces.
Under the Trump Administration, Russian mercenaries and other pro-Syrian regime forces attacking U.S. troops in Syria were killed.
The U.S. has increased troops and its military capability in Eastern Europe and dramatically increased training and drills with its NATO partners.
In 2018, the U.S. Department of Defense increased its spending as part of the European Deterrence Initiative by $1.4 billion dollars.
Due to pressure from President Trump, U.S.' NATO allies have increased defense expenditures by five percent.
Very little of what you list has anything to do with Trump’s actions or his Presidency. In fact, arguments can be made that much of it occurred DESPITE Trump and his policies. The Rooster taking credit for the sunrise.
Is it truly lost on you that a larger section of the nation still want the man removed than support him?
That said, it has not escaped anyone’s notice how you and the other cult members refuse to acknowledge the long list of problems Trump’s idiocy has wrought, the endless lies, blind denial and false claims, or the many bold promises as yet unfulfilled. Keep propping up the despicable man. He needs your fealty.
