The racism is 80% of what makes Trump objectionable.
Right-wing populism has to have a scapegoat. It's often racialized groups but not always. Easy to imagine a right-wing populism that targets, say, gays. In fact, we already see that in many places.

Left wing populism also needs a scapegoat. Because policy is complex and populism isn't.

Anyhow my broader issue (and I think what
@jonkay is getting at) is that racism is such a central feature of Trump and Trumpism that calling someone a Canadian Trump when they are if anything more popular with PoC is fundamentally misleading.
