Americans Despise Politicians

| Dear Mr. Trump, I'm Jared Taylor with American Renaissance. | |
| I've never met you and probably never will. | |
| But if I did, this is what I'd like to tell you. | |
| First, congratulations on flummoxing every political analyst in America by winning in the primaries. | |
| I hope you flummox them out of their minds by winning in November. | |
| I'm sure you realize this. | |
| But you won partly because Americans despise politicians. | |
| But do you know how much they despise them? | |
| In 1964, 77% of Americans told pollsters that they, and I quote, could trust the federal government to do what is right all or most of the time. | |
| 77%. How many trust the federal government today? | |
| 19%. For whites? | |
| It's just 15%. | |
| That's not even a fifth. | |
| I bet in 1776 at least a fifth of the colonists still trusted King George. | |
| I bet in 1917 well over 19% of Russians still trusted Tsar Nicholas. | |
| But look what happened. | |
| I'm not predicting another American Revolution. | |
| Not yet. | |
| But Americans are in a revolutionary mood. | |
| They don't trust the media either. | |
| Only 22% think newspapers are quote"very credible" and they think TV is even worse. | |
| All that helps explain why you are the presumptive Republican nominee rather than some stuffed shirt like Jeb Bush. | |
| Whites not only trust government the least of any group, they are the most pessimistic about the country. | |
| Half of all whites Think their children are going to be worse off than themselves. | |
| Whites are twice as likely as Hispanics to think that, and 50% more likely than blacks. | |
| So it's whites, your key supporters, who have the least faith in government and who think the country's going to the dogs. | |
| And who are your opponents? | |
| Elite whites, certainly, because you don't do what they tell you to do. | |
| But who shut down your rally? | |
| In Chicago, blacks mostly. | |
| Who shouted obscenities at you in California, tore the heads off of Trump piñatas, and waved Mexican flags? | |
| Hispanics. Your fans have to run the gauntlet to get into your rallies. | |
| In San Jose, they were beaten up while the police watched. | |
| That never happened at Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton rallies did it. | |
| That's because your opponents Hate you. | |
| Hispanics especially hate you. | |
| They want the country to become more Hispanic. | |
| They want more power, more Spanish, more coddling, more apologies from Whitey. | |
| They hate you because you don't pet them and tell them they're the best thing that ever happened to America, the way Hillary and Jeb do. | |
| It should be obvious to you, Mr. Trump. | |
| That blacks and Hispanics see politics in terms of race. | |
| They want to gain power and influence at the expense of whites. | |
| And they see you as a racial enemy because you don't fawn on them. | |
| Most whites don't think in racial terms. | |
| They don't realize how much non-whites resent them. | |
| They don't think of themselves as a group under attack from people who will always want more. | |
| Like it or not, you have become the spokesman for white people. | |
| For blacks and Hispanics, that's clearly what you are. | |
| And that's why they hate you. | |
| For whites, it's not so clear. | |
| But they have a keen sense that something is wrong with their country. | |
| And they think you can do something about it. | |
| Now, I know you don't see yourself as a spokesman for whites. | |
| I doubt you've ever thought very much about race. | |
| But you have healthy instincts, just like the people who support you. | |
| You're willing to say unfashionable things about race and about other things, too, despite all the PC propaganda. | |
| White people love that. | |
| You realize that it's crazy to let people get into the country who commit crimes, who go on welfare. | |
| It's crazy to let in people with exotic diseases, who don't speak English, who have no education, no skills. | |
| But it takes a gutsy guy like you to say so. | |
| And I think you may even go farther. | |
| You may sense that if America turns brown, it won't be America anymore. | |
| You may even have an inkling that the country has already become a mix of hostile races that don't get along. | |
| Did you know that a record high of 50% of Americans now tell pollsters race relations are getting worse? | |
| It's been half a century since the Civil Rights Movement. | |
| Two whole generations have been born since then. | |
| And half the country thinks race relations are getting worse. | |
| I mentioned that in 1964, 77% of Americans trusted the government, but only 15% of white people trust it today. | |
| Well, what was different in 1964? | |
| The country was nearly 90% white. | |
| Almost all immigrants were white. | |
| No one dreamed of saying racial diversity was our greatest strength. | |
| No one had even heard of white privilege. | |
| There was no affirmative action. | |
| Colleges didn't teach that white people were the great villains of history. | |
| Now, white babies are a minority the moment they're born. | |
| In just four years, whites will be a minority of all children under 18. In just 24 or 5 years, could be during your lifetime, Mr. Trump, whites in the whole country will be a minority. | |
| Government made this happen, and the media cheered every step of the way. | |
| No wonder so many white people despise the government and distrust the media. | |
| Mr. Trump, your campaign slogan is, Make America Great Again. | |
| I have bad news. | |
| You can't make America great with a third world population. | |
| Let me give you just one statistic. | |
| Blacks and Hispanics who managed to stay in school until the 12th grade are, on average, reading and doing math at the level of white 8th graders. | |
| And the reasons for that are overwhelmingly likely to be genetic. | |
| You can't make America great with people like that. | |
| White people like your politics, Mr. Trump. | |
| Deport all illegals. | |
| Make sure no more get in. | |
| End birthright citizenship. | |
| Take a hard look at Muslims. | |
| But white people want more than their jobs back. | |
| And maybe you can bring back a few from China and India. | |
| What they really want is their country back. | |
| The country they had in 1964. | |
| That's the only way to make America great again. | |
