Don't blame it all on Trump

As a black person, I am shocked when white persons that I considered friends proclaim that they are proud followers of the blatant racist, Donald Trump. As a matter of fact, I am convinced that the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters do so precisely because he is racist.
As a black person, I am shocked when a white person that I respect for their integrity, proclaim that they are proud supporters of such a barefaced liar as Donald Trump.  According to the Washington Post, in his four years as president, Trump made 30,573 false or misleading claims. The Fact Checker’s database of the false or misleading claims made by President Trump while in office, averaged twenty-one false statements per day. Twenty-one! Even today, a majority of Republicans believe the Big Lie, that he won the elections.

Let us face it. Trump is just being Trump.  He is a blatant racist. He is a barefaced liar. These are not secrets  How can I trust such friends that go along with such horrors? Alas, with friends like these, who needs enemies.
