Trump being racist is not an objective fact.

Calling someone a racist always involves a degree of mind reading that’s impossible to prove.

You’re claiming that his racist remarks prove he holds racist beliefs. It’s possible that his racist remarks are driven entirely by his desire to appear blasphemous and be divisive.

This is an irrelevant nitpick. When you have the ability to actually shape policies, if you shape them in a racist way with the intent to do so and don't care about it, that's what it makes you.

I also don't think Trump is a racist. I think he is an opportunist, though, who was willing to say things that were borderline racist to rally his supporters.

In other words, he was willing to pander to racists for power.

Some examples include:

* Calling Haiti and African countries as "shitholes" * Calling NBA players "very dumb", etc.
