Unlike The Other President's, Trump's Ancestors Were Not Slave Owners

Reuters published a report on June 27, 2023, that still has a lot of Americans talking. Of course, this became one of those Mainstream Media stories on slavery that ended up backfiring on Democrats who have a vested interest in making former President Donald Trump look bad. In this case, Democrats who have attacked Trump as a "Racist" for many years now didn't like the research results. 

According to the story in the news, "In researching the genealogies of America's political elite, a Reuters examination found that a fifth of the nation's Congressmen, living Presidents, Supreme Court Justices and Governors are direct descendants of ancestors who enslaved Black people."

To go even further, researchers had proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that every living American President descended from slaveowners -- except Donald Trump. In fact, the new investigation found that former President Donald Trump, who the Democrat-controlled press attacks as being "Racist," is the only living U.S. President to not have slave-owning ancestors.

So imagine their shock to find out that Joe Biden, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and America's "First Black President," Barack Obama, are all descended from slave owners. And believe it or not, at least 100 of the 536 members of Congress and more than 25 percent of the Senate, both Black and White lawmakers alike, descended from slave owners. 

Why did President Trump's family not own slaves like all of the other President's families? Donald Trump's ancestors never owned slaves because they immigrated to the United States in 1885 after slavery was abolished.

Joe Biden's great-great-great-grandfather owned two slaves, while another of Biden's great-great-great-grandfather actually enslaved a 14-year-old boy. That fact is according to a 2021 genealogical analysis published by Politico.

The report did point out how inconvenient such an investigation such as this can be. In fact, while Reuters tried to focus that report on Republican lawmakers with ties to slavery in their family trees, Reuters was conspicuously silent in pointing out that Vice President Kamala Harris has a slave-owning lineage. What's sort of funny is how Reuters tried to play down tn fact Vice President Kamala Harris' ancestors owned slaves by saying that they were slave owners in Jamaica and not the United States. As if that makes it better.

Let's be clear on this, this is a major problem today. In this case, the people in the Mainstream Media, the Democrats who run Reuters, were probably hoping and praying to uncover some deep dark secret about slave owners in President Trump's family tree. And yes, it's probably putting it mildly to say that Reuters was seriously disappointed when their hunt for race-baiting trash on Trump's ancestors backfired and actually confirmed that Biden, Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama were all descendants of slave owners. 

Of course, if you listen to the con-artist Democrats, those hustlers and grifters on the Left who see big dollars coming their way because of their demands for Reparations, you'd get the idea that every American owned slaves at one time or another. And there's the problem. There's a great deal of misinformation out there about slavery and who owned slaves.
