No.

He's from Hawaii, and he's half-white, so he's a Black Haole.

Well, maybe, in 2017 terms. I understand that today, it is a term of derision from Hawaiians about Caucasians. But it wasn't always that way. My uncle Burt, originally from Michigan, stayed in the Islands after his one enlistment in the Navy. He married a rich young woman who was half Hawaiian and half white; and lived on the Big Island (Hawaii). He told me that Haole meant a white man that had lived there a long time, and had acquired some kind of success. Their distinguishing uniform included a hat with a pheasant feather hatband. My Michigander father quickly adopted this custom, using feathers from pheasants he hunted every year. I've adopted the custom as well, now that thinning hair has forced me to wear a proper hat to "nice" places, like formal dinners, graduations and church services. So, to call the soon to be former president (may his name live in infamy) a Haole, is a misnomer, IMHO.
