Trump’s campaign hasn’t been the only one to use deceptive tactics to raise campaign money, but his team made it an art form.
Although people of color make up a minority of many populations, the majority of the suffering falls on their shoulders.
Pastor Jerome Smith got a second chance and made sure countless others received one, too.
