Yes, it’s possible. It’s possible that Donald Trump will become the next president of the United States. It’s also possible that Donald Trump could select more than one or two African Americans for key positions in his administration if he wins the GOP nomination and does go on to win the White House.
Trump has a few vocal black fans out there. “I think it’s a pretty awesome thing that he’s doing so well,” former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson told the New York Post in March.
But of course we understand that this isn’t just any presidential candidate. This is the man who loves to say “bold” things and “tell it like it is,” George Wallace style, at the altar of anti-political correctness.
“If Hillary was a man, she’d get 5 percent of the vote. … I think the only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card,” Trump said of Hillary Clinton on April 26, as if Clinton’s terms as a U.S. senator and a secretary of state were just side hustles.
That said, there are some obvious African Americans who have either been with the campaign from the beginning or have emerged within the last year. Four African Americans in particular would be most likely to serve in a Trump White House.
