WASHINGTON D.C., USA – It was a feat few Republican candidates ever achieved.

“To the Black and hispanic communities, I want to thank you for the tremendous outpouring of love and trust that you have shown me with your vote,” U.S. President Donald Trump said on Inauguration Day.

Minority voters turned out in unprecedented numbers for Trump in November.

No surprise for Bahamian – D.C native Lovell Saunders.

“A lot of the issues that the democrats had, whether it was around different rights, opportunities and the DEI program really pissed a lot of people off,” he said.

“You would think that it wouldn’t’ those programs benefit, especially for people of colour.”

Exit polling confirmed the growing immigration crisis helped to swing voters in favor of Trump.

One of his first executive orders halted the federal diversity equity and inclusion program.

It’s among the litany of changes swept in by the new administration. For the last 40 years, Dr. Bert Williams has lived in the D.C. / Maryland area.

As a student and now a physician, he’s the product of legal migration.

The Trump administration wasted no time in setting into motion many of the plans and promises he made on the campaign trail. 

And while there are few surprises, like the rest of the world, The Bahamas is now in a state of watch wait and see – what the effects will be, beyond the American borders.
