Fact Check: Is Donald Trump a White Nationalist?
First, while the president has made statements that liberals falsely denounce as racist — like responding to Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) by pointing out the poverty of West Baltimore — he has welcomed black Americans into the White House, celebrated their economic success, and received their praise.
In February 2017, about a month after Trump took office, the presidents of 100-plus Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) met with the president in the Oval Office. Trump welcomed rapper Kanye West to the White House. He has elevated black and brown Americans to high positions in government: naming Ben Carson to HUD; naming Ajit Pai chairman of the FCC; hiring Omarosa Manigault Newman in the White House (who said Trump wasn't racist before she accused him of being racist); and many more.
Under Trump, the black unemployment rate reached its lowest point in 17 years. Trump celebrated the low unemployment rate in his second State of the Union address, but Democrats did not rise to clap for this great achievement. Voters have said Trump is better for young black Americans than former President Barack Obama.
------
The president has received praise from many black Americans. Some leaders of HBCUs praised Trump as being "more responsive to our community" than Obama's administration was. Robert Johnson, the first black billionaire, gave the president an "A+" on the economy.
Indeed, it is not inconceivable that Trump could actually win the black vote in 2020.
-----
Any white nationalist who elevated black Americans to positions of power, celebrated lower black unemployment, and worked to help HBCUs would be a horrible white nationalist.
According to Merriam-Webster, he would not even be a white nationalist at all.
