Like trying to get five innocent black boys executed and maintaining his position to this day? And of course his reintroduction to politics was riding the birther movement, which was almost comically racist.

* "shithole countries"

* "they're animals"

* "We can't allow these people to invade our country"

* "Mexican judge"

* multiple accounts of him calling black peope "n-gg-rs"

* "Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

* “When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor"

* The Central Park Five ad (never mind that they were innocent, a racist wrote it)

* literally settled out of court for racially discriminating as a landlord

* They don’t look like Indians to me.”

* "I was the only person of color that I saw at an executive level in my entire year with the Trump Organization"

* Baltimore and Atlanta are "infested"

* telling US citizens of color "go back to your countries"

* wanting to swap Puerto Rico (again, US citizens he represents) for Greenland because it's a "dirty" island, "showed deep animus to its people"

* birther conspiracy

* agreeing with a supporter in a townhall who said "we have a problem in this country; it’s called Muslims.”

* Trump: How do you stop illegal border crossers? Supporter: "Shoot them!" Trump laughs enthusiastically

* lied about watching "thousands and thousands of Muslims" celebrating 9/11

* tried to ban all Muslims from entering the country

* tons of promoting racists (Laura Loomer, Jayda Dransen, Sebastian Gorka, Jeannine Pirro, Joe Arpaio, Unite the Right

* many actual racists call him a fellow racist (Christchurch shooter, El Paso shooter, Pittsburgh synagogue shooter)

I don't know what your definition of racism is, but I would love to hear how none of these incidents qualify.

That is pure fake news. You may not be intending to lie, but you're spreading them.

"To remove all doubt, the President continued with “I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists, because they should be condemned totally – but you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists, okay?”"

I have no particular desire to take another step into the garbage fire that is America and its politics, but calling something fake news does not make it so.

Thank you, that article has the original transcript in full and shows that it is fake news - I quote directly from your link:

"And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly."

No he probabaly did not or these people weren't white supremacists. Racism to me is attributing characteristics to different races/ethnicities and value judgements of theae attributes. People like that exist, but they are a tiny minority.

Judging someone simply on his race. Simple example: refusing a job to someone because of this criterion. It doesn’t matter if Asian, Black, White or other, if the candidate is dismissed because of race, it’s racism.

So supporting an entrenched system of racism is not racism then? If so I can see why not much progress is being made.

He also achieved the highest black unemployment rating under his administration. That does not seem like something a racist would do. This is why no one is buying this narrative.
