Staff Reports
The mainstream media and the Democrats will have a hard time spinning this one! According to a groundbreaking Reuters report, Donald Trump is the only living former US president who is not a descendant of slaveowners. Meanwhile, former presidents Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama are all linked to slaveholders through their ancestry, with Obama being connected through his white mother’s side.
Trump’s ancestors came to the United States after the abolition of slavery in the country, which explains why he is not associated with the horrendous legacy of slavery.
The report from Reuters uncovered that a fifth of the American political elite, including Congress members, living presidents, Supreme Court justices, and governors, have direct ancestors who were slaveholders. Among the 536 members of the previous Congress, at least 100 of them can claim slaveholders as their ancestors. Over a quarter of the Senate is linked to at least one slaveholder.
However, these politicians come from both sides of the divide, with Republicans like Lindsey Graham, Tom Cotton, James Lankford, and Mitch McConnell sharing ancestry with slaveholders, along with the Democrats like Tammy Duckworth, Maggie Hassan, Elizabeth Warren, and Jeanne Shaheen.
Interestingly, Trump’s political opponents and the media have long smeared him as a racist, even though the facts suggest the opposite. Under the Trump administration, African Americans experienced the most prosperous economy in history, with unemployment rates reaching historic lows, and black wages rising dramatically.
Trump’s tax cuts and rapid GDP growth boosted the financial stability of numerous companies and increased public confidence in the economy.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, has a history of making questionable statements and slurs about race. In 2019, he suggested that “white kids” are smarter than other children. In addition, in 2020, he declared that “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black” during an interview, causing widespread outrage.
Biden’s comments have been largely ignored or played down by the media, who are more interested in attacking Trump, distracting the viewers from the fact that Trump is the only living president who has no links to slaveholders.
