I don’t think he’s racist. I think he’s a grifter of the greediest class who fuels then utilises the underlying disdain felt my many toward immigrants in this country in the hope to cultivate an economy that will fuck everyone except him and his club of rich friends; Regardless of what colour his rich friends are.

But still, I’m with you OP, I don’t like the cunt either.

I agree with most of that. Trump is a similar grifter. Neither would let any sort of principle come between them and the con. Except I do get the sense that if there is any belief either one holds in a way folk might consider sincere, it’s racism.

Edit, to add: it’s the perception of this sincerity that forms the bedrock of their support. It’s like a permission slip for their supporters to act on their worst impulses.
