Except he's not, and never has been. Quite the opposite in fact. Sure, he's made blunders out of naivety here and there just like everyone else on the planet, but he's never done or said anything overtly racist like Biden did on multiple occasions.

Why do people lie on the Internet? Trump is the most openly racist president in decades

This is 2 minutes of reading that NY Times piece:

- "A former hotel executive said Trump criticized a black accountant" OK, hearsay but OK.

- Trump doesn't like crime? Associating that with race makes the NY Times seem very racist.

- “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” - Islam isn't a race.

- Haiti is a shithole. It's not polite to say, but that's why people want to leave. The statement that Haiti isn't desirable has nothing to do with race.

- He claimed that the same caravan included “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners.” - and? Caravans from Mexico included a lot of people from unknown countries including some whose governments expouse wanting to kill Americans.

Virtually every American president is/was racist. If they weren't, they'd have more care and concern for the innocent lives taken by US created/backed wars/genocides.
