The use of governmental authority to act against citizens reflects an exclusionary mind- set, which is particularly concerning within a multicultural democracy. Democracy is about a spiritual moral ideal: government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Unfortunately, President Trump has expressed socio-economic political goals that focus on his personal administrative goals, his fam- ily members socio-economic goals, and the economic goals of his billionaire financial supporters.
President Trump is a professional at governing by theatrics. Militarizing the Washington D.C., police department is classic racism theatrics, attempting to rewrite the ugliness of slavery and the contributions of Blacks to making America a more perfect union, attempting to strip historical artifacts and personalities from the Smithsonian Museum, Trumpifying the Kennedy Center, and boldly transforming The White House Rose Garden into a Mar Lago Ball Room. These efforts aim to turn perception into reality. Perception does not always align with reality; but for some individuals, perception may be regarded as reality.
Of course, the world knows that if President Trump really desired to be tough on crime, he would begin with cleaning-up his own mindset, because the world knows that he is a convicted criminal. Let’s be spiritually candid about crime; especially juvenile crime and juvenile arrests they are invariably related to the spiritual breakdown of the nuclear family as well as the over materialistic nature of American society. Consequently, we have young men who are willing to kill each other for a pair of Air Jordan Tennis Shoes, rather than spiritually learning how to work for your needs, not steal and kill for your vanity wants.
Sadly, President Trump desires to rewrite American history and erase the ungodly ugliness of slavery and institutional racism that still divides America, even in the Twenty-First Century. Thus, Donald J. Trump’s Presidency is built upon racism and sexism, not multi-cultural inclusionary democracy. January 6th, 2021, is sometimes cited as an example where some analysts suggest that the outcome might have differed if Black and Brown Americans had been involved in actions like those that took place, with speculation that there could have been more severe consequences rather than Presidential pardons. Racism is malnutrition of the brain ugliness. This is why the history of slavery is not a unifying experience.
Lying about the ugliness of slavery and racism is ugly and ungodly, because: “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hand; neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he giveth life, and breath, and all things, and hath
