Many Democrats have said that he is, including Hillary Clinton. Her senior aide Jennifer Palmieri describe Trump as a 'white supremacist.' Bernie Sanders has said it. AOC recently said there is "no question" that Trump's a racist.
Traditionally, white supremacists have also been anti-Semites. Trump has made his Jewish son-in-law a senior aide. He took the rather courageous step of moving our embassy to Jerusalem, angering anti-Semites. He has had several other Jews in his cabinet, including the important post of Treasury Secretary. What kind of white supremacist does this stuff?
According to author and former Washington Post reporter Ronald Kessler, in his book The Trump White House,
Quote:
Today, Trump and Melania send Barron to St. Andrew's Episcopal School in Potomac, Maryland, where 42 percent of children enrolled are students of color. Although this fact is listed on the school's website under the "About" tab, no major media outlet has cited it....(p. 95)
Kessler also notes:
Quote:
...two years before meeting Melania Knauss, he dated African American model Kara Young. Nor do they quote Lynne Patton, an African American who, until she took a job in the Trump administration, was one of the Trump Organization's most trusted employees....(p. 94)
Very bizarre behavior from a "white supremacist," n'est ce pas? Or maybe, just maybe, the correct conclusion is that Trump is no racist. What do you think?

Trump is a lot of things.
Not all of them are admirable, but racist isn't one of those things.
He's too analytical...too careful in his reasoning.
By the way, for those who vote yes, please tell me how the behavior recounted in post #1 comports with your vote. What is your definition of 'racist' that allows for dating of black women, and sending your young son to school with 42% 'students of color?'
So you're saying the actions listed in post #1 don't matter? Why not? Do you disagree with the old saying that ''actions speak louder than words?"
They can. Rhetoric matters too. Either way, Trump has a lifetime of racist sympathies. Remember the Central Park Five? Remember putting a C next to black peoples housing applications? Remember him getting sued for housing discrimination? You probably don’t remember because you aren’t ready to admit it. No worries. Facts exist whether or not you believe them.
PS Don’t you think a simple yes or no choice would’ve been more appropriate for the poll? 10 choices?!
I feel certain the president is not a racist. However, I feel certain in my heart that Obama is. But that's another thread.
