They deny it...but they still *believe* it too

Why is he still power? The only question of 2017!

The people who don’t believe he’s a racist are the same people who don’t believe that they themselves are racists.

He knows they think this, and he still doesn’t deny it. Therefore his silence is confirmation he’s racist!

The truth is even simpler. Trump cares first and foremost about himself, has no intellectual depth, and finds racists useful idiots. He's on his own side, as any clinical narcississt would be. That's as deep as it gets.

And Trump himself denies it too of course, which is all part of the Russian/1984 misinformation blitz.

Trump is not a racist. An elitist to be sure and race can be a factor. However, to attribute the label to an individual that has been a prominent public figure for as long as you've personally been alive feels disingenuous.

Look at Steve Scalise he is truly sickening. So many more in the Trump administration I can’t even begin to name them all.

And, depressingly, a solid chunk of my students at a public university in a red state.
