For all the cries of ‘racist’, Trump is attracting more black and Hispanic voters than ever before.
My favourite fact about Donald Trump is that he has actually made the Republicans a more – to use that cringeworthy phrase – ‘diverse’ party. Yes, the man accused of being the most ‘racist’, ‘xenophobic’ politician ever to lead the free world has been steadily gaining support among black and brown Americans.
The numbers don’t lie. ‘Trump’s shares of the nationwide black, Hispanic and Asian vote in 2016 were two, two and three points greater, respectively, than Mitt Romney’s in 2012’, notes the Wall Street Journal. ‘Even as he lost in 2020, Mr Trump improved on his own performance among these segments by four, three and five points, respectively.’
