I don't think Trump is a racist. A lot (not all) of his most devout followers sure the fuck are though. Trump just wants those clowns' votes so of course he is not going to condemn their bullshit. I don't blame him for that. You need votes to win. Why should he shoot himself in the foot and condemn idiots who he knows will vote for him? Trump is dumb, but he is not that dumb.
By the way, the original post in this thread has nothing to do with whether a former president was/is racist or not. By that stupid ass logic, that would mean Obama is racist against black people. See where I am going with that or are some of you people too dense to use simple logical reasoning that even a 4th grader with limited intellect is capable of using?
