I’m of the same mind on the issue. Never mind Trump’s tweets or the interpretations thereof; the man is barely literate in any case. I’m not sure why people or the media seem so concerned about the definition or “racist” and whether Trump is a racist. If, minutes from now, Trump tweeted “88 4eva, white is best,” what would that actually change? Meanwhile, Trump is hosting cocktail parties for Russian intelligence in the Oval Office, bragging to them about shutting down the Russia investigation with a few choice bits of classified intel shared for dessert. He’s declared war on professional civil service and replaced it with mush brained brownshirts, sold American national security to the highest bidder out of his various properties, etc. If he can’t/won’t face substantive consequences for any of that, I can hardly see how whether he is or is not officially a racist person compares to anything of similar magnitude.
