Is Trump Racist?

Random thoughts... I do think Trump is racist, but that's only one piece of what's dangerous about him.

He is not just racist, he is narcissistic. He does not care about anyone, unless they feed his narcissism.  That is what makes him dangerous.

A president who cares about people doesn't call a major US city a "rat and rodent infested mess" where "no human being" wants to live. He doesn't tell elected representatives; colleagues in government, to go back to where they came from.

Trump has convinced his followers that Democrats are evil. That we want open borders and crime and that we want to kill babies right before they are born. 

I am a democrat. I am a Christian. I am not for open borders. I am not for crime. That one is ridiculous. Lately we're seeing a lot of this--he says that people who are critical of him "hate our country." 

We just dismiss comments like this, but this idea is dangerous. He equates himself with the country. Building a culture among his followers that leads to this--anyone against Trump is anti-American. 

I love our country. I can't stand Trump. He is a bully, a liar, a narcissist. 

He lies every day. 

From his tweets: 

"We are respected again all around the world. Keep it that way!" Ridiculous. It is clear that most of our allies do not respect Trump. They do not trust him. They do not agree with him.

We are not respected around the world.

"We have prosperity & success like never before.." The middle class is shrinking. more people are living paycheck to paycheck. the gap between CEO salaries and the salaries of workers is widening.

"Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television, insinuated last night while asking a debate 'question' that I was a racist, when in fact I am 'the least racist person in the world' ....or is he too dumb (stupid} to understand that."

"The least racist person in the world." really? even if you like Trump, you have to know how ridiculous that sounds.

Bullying and name-calling Don Lemon, who I am confident is far more intelligent than Trump.

This is wrong. The President of the United States denigrates and bullies fellow Americans over and over, while sucking up to murderous dictators. This is wrong! Why can't more people see that?
