He doesn't seem to have a large colored race approval even on the Republican side.
So, was Trump mean to racial minorities or colored races … are white people actually invigorated against him for this very reason?

Maybe it’s because Trump wanted five Central Park teens to fry in the electric chair because because…..ah hell it was because they were black. Had those teens been deranged right wing extremists he would have personally flown them by helicopter to one of his rallies and made them into heroes.

Those 5 " Teens" were assaulting and robbing citizens in Central Park for months and got away with it.
So you watch Ken Burns uninformed Documentary that didnt know **** about those 5 scumbags. I would love to go back in time and stop the 5 of them from being wrongfully accused of the Rape of the Jogger.
But I would also want them to be charged and indicted and convicted on dozens of Robberies and Felony assaults that they committed.
They bragged about all of those robberies and assaults to anyone who would listen. Family members, friends, girlfriends, the media.
They even had a cute nickname for the brutality they were doing, "Wilding"
Those 5 scumbags should all suffer their entire lives. I told two of them at a presa conference in Harlem that they should still be charged for all of those crimes they DID commit.

This actually is not true.

Nonwhites rarely support Republicans because it's not in their interests. Most minorities are low income and Trump's policies and tax cuts favor the wealthy. Plus Republicans want to dismantle affirmative action for minorities in college and on the job. And his statements about building a wall with Mexico and his comments that Mexican immigrants are rapists and murderers does not endear him to Latino voters.
Asians are the only nonwhite group Trump has a chance with.

He had a thing with China, but I didn't look into it and it didn't bother me.
Why do whites care so much about other races sometimes or at times like this but usually don't care about nonwhite races?

My question was basically why do white people even care about nonwhite races in regards to what Trump did when they usually don't care about nonwhite races? It seems like just another excuse to complain. I don't know what Trump did wrong because all I know is he didn't allow illegal immigrants and read some other things. That's not really racist. It's about something illegal. So, why do white people care about that now, when they didn't before? They were sarcastic even about illegal immigrants coming to the US from Latin America / Mexico and whatever other Latin countries are around with the US. So, before, people were against illegal immigrants from Latin America, but now that Trump did this at least some people spoke out against it for whatever reason. It's like when people were fighting and still are fighting about abortion laws and gay rights actually though we accept gay rights it seems.
So, my point is that people used to support being against illegal immigrants from Latin America. When Trump did this, however, people were against him doing it all of a sudden. People have long ago been against it like Trump is now.
I guess it's too confusing to explain right.

What is confusing is that business owners who are Republican are also the ones who want immigrant labor from Latin America. So it's phony when Trump and the Republicans claim they don't want immigrants from Mexico et al. They encourage them to come here because they give them jobs and don't care about their legal status.

… Well, I've been trying to get into a lot of colleges it seems, and they seem crazy about residency. They even have special tuition rules and some cases I guess where residents have to pay full price, if you repeat a class 3 times, at least at this one community college. There are many silly rules that came about, unfortunately for whatever reason since Obama.
I know, the Latin Americans take on odd jobs that are open someplaces.
I guess it's be funny to see why people are so against illegal immigration and now they aren't. Sorry, Trump? I think it's because they want to make a scene and possibly some people actually came out of their shell to go against it- (whereas before they didn't seem to speak out as much. How old are these people?)

Yeah, so far under Trump we have record low unemployment in the black and Latino communities. That's certainly not in their interest I guess.
Most minorities are low income
Due to Democrat policies.
and Trump's policies and tax cuts favor the wealthy.
They actually favor the vast majority of Americans, it impacts the wealthy the most because when you cut taxes across the board turns out the people who pay the vast vast vast majority of the taxes as a whole will see the biggest benefit, that's just simple math.
Plus Republicans want to dismantle affirmative action for minorities in college and on the job.
Yes, affirmative action is a very racist policy.
and his comments that Mexican immigrants are rapists and murderers
He was very clearly talking about illegal immigrants, and he wasn't referring to all of them, as he also made very clear. And he's not wrong either, there are tons of rapists and murderers coming across the border illegally.

You are completely clueless and come off as usual as really uninformed.
Unemployment is the lowest it has ever been in the history of the Country for Blacks and Hispanics.
Also , for the first time in 3 decades. Thats 30 years clueless, wages have gone decidedly up for the poor and middle class.
The thing that kills Blacks and hispanics the most when it comes to economic wealth is a massive amount of illegal aliens and also a massive amount of low skilled, uneducated legal immigrants from 3rd World Countries. Low income Blacks and Hispanics are losing out on jobs to these foreign invaders. With the help of people like you.
You are living proof that a Man can have 3 or 4 degrees from a College or University and still literally know nothing about public policy or economics.
Your ignorance is mind blowing.
Also Gamey, another thing that this President did for Blacks and Hispanics. Google it since you obviously DON'T know. His administration drafted legistration and then got it passed in both branches that cut the unfair prison sentences that the Rockefeller drug laws inflicted on first time non violent drug offenders.
"The First Step Act" President Donald John Trump did that. Not Barack Obama or Bill Clintin.
So please dont ****in talk about tax cuts or economic policy or politics when you are FUCKIN clueless about all of it. Thanks a bunch.

No, but he knows that the majority of his supporters are either Republicans or "deplorables" i.e., working class whites. Democrats, on the other hand, cater to racial minorities and immigrants often at the expense of working class whites.
We're seeing a strange political realignment in this country where much of the working class (once the backbone of the Democratic Party) is moving away from the Democrats and embracing Trump's brand of populist conservatism while well-to-do and upper middle class whites gravitate towards liberalism and the Democrats. -

Yep, millions more voted for Hillary but thanks to the Electoral College (and not the Russians) Trump won the election. I still think he'll go down in the history books as our country's most unpopular president. He might even win reelection but that's not going to change the fact that over half the country hates/dislikes him.
