Along with those, you forgot that Trump called counties with black leaders "s-hole countries."
Also, don't forget that a group of black tenants in one of Trump's apartment buildings successfully sued him for racist housing practices in the past.
He also referred to "inner-city neighborhoods" (AKA predominately black areas of big cities) as "crime-infested hell holes that no decent human being would want to live."
I've been asking Trump supporters here on City-Data how they feel about all these statements from Trump for months, but none of them ever answer. Much like Donald himself, City-Data Trump supporters don't like having to answer tough questions and they usually just ignore or deflect.
And the same people that are going to pass on defending this are the same ones asking for evidence of when Trump has ever been racist.

I dont think anyone is racist. It's just the "i know it all" and narcicissm. Many of them here dont even know how to be polite and courteous. And just by the content and tone, you can easily figure out they all vote republican.
How many more of these instances are you guys going to swallow before you admit that Trump is a racist?
A Hispanic judge can't be impartial b/c they are Hispanic...
2 Black, 1 Hispanic, and 1 Middle Eastern legislators can't criticize his administration b/c they come from corrupt, crime-infested countries and should go home...
Jewish voters shouldn't support Democrats b/c that's being disloyal to Israel...
A Chinese reporter can't ask a valid question b/c she needs to check in with China first...
It's so clear that Trump views people's heritage as the defining characteristic of someone's motivations, like it's an inherited trait based on where you're born. If you're not from America or Europe, your opinions don't count b/c you owe your allegiance to some other country. Any objective person would clearly classify that as a racist view on ethnicity and heritage, yet his supporters keep playing dumb.
It depends how strongly people cling to that “heritage” and the cultural values which come with it rather than identifying as Americans who are first loyal to this country and have adopted its’ values, standards and culture as their own. You cited a Chinese reporter. To me that’s a reporter from China who is filtering their thoughts by Chinese standards and who may seem to advocate for Chinese interests over those of our country. Or who plays the race card when convenient.
I don’t believe a first generation immigrant should be in any office, elected or otherwise, by which they influence the running of this country or any community within. My wife is an immigrant so don’t start with the ‘you just hate immigrants’ chants.
The whole hyphenated American thing is an insult to our country. The first obligation of Immigrants to any country is total and complete assimilation to that country’s culture and interests.
So the argument is that he's not racist, he just likes to act racist?
Would you agree that framing someone's motivations as dependent on their ethnicity is a racist viewpoint?
No. I'm not saying he is or isn't racist.
I'm saying that he's using insults (racist ones are as good as any other) to hide his frustration/inability to have a conversation. To hide he has no effin clue what he's talking about.
Remember when kids in middle school did this?
And the more vile the insult (those tend to be the racist/misogynist ones), the faster the bullies would shut people down.
I'm sure MANY (if not all) presidents have been racist in one way or another. I'm discussing more about why this is manifesting so publicly.
