I feel you’re missing the point. Yes, Trump represents the white heritage of subjugation and genocide of the USA. But he didn’t get there by chance, there was a massive external campaign of disinformation to get him there as well. If there wasn’t interference, well we don’t know what the out come would have been. But you cannot overlook the fact that Russia WAS using him before hand and saw a useful idiot when the time came.
Trump’s rise to power was absolutely not by chance. However, your analysis isn’t satisfactory from a materialist perspective. Rather, it was the sum of neoliberal policies of the last few decades that radically transformed the material conditions of the United States (and other Western capitalist countries), culminating in several economic crises, most notably in 2008. The working class has suffered the most from deindustrialization and social services defunding, which Trump has perfectly weaponized in his campaigns by promising a fictitious return to an equally fictitious past. You have lower wages? Blame it on the immigrants! No jobs? Blame it on non-whites!! And so forth.
