Donald Trumps Racism: The Definitive List
By DAVID LEONHARDT and IAN PRASAD PHILBRICK ---- JAN. 15, 2018
Donald Trump has been obsessed with race for the entire time he has been a public figure. He had a history of making racist comments as a New York real-estate developer in the 1970s and 80s. More recently, his political rise was built on promulgating the lie that the nations first black president was born in Kenya. He then launched his campaign with a speech describing Mexicans as rapists.
The media often falls back on euphemisms when describing Trumps comments about race: racially loaded, racially charged, racially tinged, racially sensitive. And Trump himself has claimed that he is the least racist person. But heres the truth: Donald Trump is a racist. He talks about and treats people differently based on their race. He has done so for years, and he is still doing so.
Here, we have attempted to compile a definitive list of his racist comments or at least the publicly known ones.
........... very, very, very long read ......

He can probably do a little less damage out there. As a side benefit, there's always the possibility he'll get eaten by an alligator.
