Editor’s Note : It is a compelling argument that the majority of the Trump Administration’s domestic policies are designed to address the demographic changes predicted for the future in the United States. In sum, whites will become a minority by 2045 according to the Census Bureau. As Ebrahim Rasool, the South African ambassador to the US who was recently expelled, observed: Mr. Trump is pursuing policies and practices that are “a white supremist response to growing demographic diversity in the United States.” Who would know better !
