12. Trumps message has, from the start been very clear; "Make America White Again"

While some may have voted for him for other reasons; maybe they liked "The Apprentice", I am convinced the vast majority of people who voted for Trump did so out of bigotry and racism. They don't want their kids sitting next to a Muslim, Black or Hispanic kid in school. They don't want to be waited on by a woman in a hijab in a department store. They're ok with cops gunning down a black kid because the cop felt threatened. They don't want Mexicans and others of Hispanic heredity to be welcome in their America.

They'll say they're not racist; they just want to make America great, with government policies reflecting THEIR values. They say they're Christian, and yet never ask themselves, "What would Jesus do?". Who would Jesus vote for? Jesus who was a Brown Middle Easterner.

The pundits can analyze and pontificate all they want about economics and the forgotten middle class, but Trump's campaign wasn't about economics, it was about the White purity of America.
