I appreciate Trump, but I have concerns about his supporters, despite having been one myself. One of the main reasons I stopped supporting him wasn’t due to his actions, but rather the attitudes of many of his followers. I observed that a significant number of them seemed to harbor negative feelings toward people who look like me. This isn’t meant to disparage his supporters, but it is my truth, and I’m not trying to play the victim; their feelings don’t concern me. Personally, I chose not to associate with individuals who don’t have good intentions for those who look like me.

To give Trump some credit, based on interviews, books, and his years in the public eye, he doesn’t appear to share those sentiments toward Black and Brown people. However, many of his supporters seem to believe he does, and he occasionally caters to that perspective, even if he doesn’t genuinely hold those views.

I could elaborate further with evidence of their true feelings, but honestly, you could just check Twitter, now called “X.” A quick glance at any Trump supporter’s feed would reveal overtly or directly prejudiced remarks over the course of a week.
