Two days before the presidential election, Donald Trump traveled to the deeply segregated city of Minneapolis to make a final pitch to voters. He didn't spend any time discussing Minnesota's racial wealth gap—according to one study, the state's financial disparity between races is the highest in the country—or the fatal police shooting of Philando Castile during a traffic stop in the state four months earlier. Instead, he talked about Minnesota's Somali population, larger than in any other state. "Here in Minnesota, you've seen first-hand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with very large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, without your support or approval," Trump said in the November 6 speech. "Some of them [are] joining ISIS and spreading their extremist views all over our country and all over the world," he added.
