Hey, I can get behind this. If you feel the man is racist, then I guess in your mind he is a racist. But I am curious, did you ever think our former president was also a racist? I'm just asking because if you never saw anything in Obama that suggested racism to you, then you were obviously not looking at him with the same critical eye you've applied to Donald Trump.

Yes we know, Dems minds are boggled and that makes them easy to manipulate.

It doesn't fit the narrative, hating on white people is ok.

None of that mentions any race whatsoever. But because you think in terms of political correctness, you then attribute that quote to him talking about race.
I'm a Republican. He didn't say the qualifier "some of these people". He did add that he "assumes some are nice people."

I agree that the first color he cares about is green, and almost 100% for himself. I am just perplexed on why the poor and middle class think he cares anything about them.

Maybe. Haters filter their input and take things out of context.

To many on this board that automatically makes her a racist.

He campaigned for, and won the middle class in 2016. He is now on the hook to produce results for them, or else they will shop elsewhere come 2020. That's his motivation.
