I haven't seen any very compelling evidence that he's a racist.

He may be (most likely is) corrupt but, as has been extensively discussed elsewhere, it is not clear that has done anything strictly illegal, which makes it tricky to say definitively.

He definitely spouts outrageous lies all the time, though.

Legalized corruption remains corruption. It was when Clinton did it, and it is when Trump does it.
