Oh, to have been that reporter...!

Asked by a reporter if he was a racist, Trump said: “No. I’m not a racist. I’m the least racist person you have ever interviewed.”

To which the 'reporter' in me would have said: "I've interviewed the Pope!"

Opportunity missed.

"Yes, less racist than the Pope. Everyone says so. I'm also more Catholic than the Pope."

He speaks upliftingly of decency and humanity and good things that can and should be accomplished.

And far less of Trump, who's dragging all who focus constantly on him instead of better things down. It may be very good that so few people pay much attention to politics. Yes, they don't know things they should but they also avoid distraction and degradation into the trumpster sewer.
