Does he have any dealings that would tell you he is not a racist?

Have you checked?

If you found YES to be the answer, would you simply dismiss it as "Trump doing what he needs to get ahead"?

If so - well - you are believing what you like - and that's that.

The dealing that are important are the ones that show his whole career to be an imploding criminal enterprise and those showing he mainly does the polar opposite of what he swore to at his inauguration.

His racism won’t get him removed. It will only continue to plague us throughout the death throws of this fatally wounded misadministration.

He insults everybody who is not him - this is not news. But he insults some folks disproportionately and in different ways. If you want to provide me with the numbers of white men he has called stupid by comparison to the others, do please go right ahead. And if he attacks white men in proportion to their numbers in politics vs. blacks and women, I will retract my position.
Since kid made the Don Lemon/Oscar Acosta comparison, note Trump has never called Acosta dumb.
Jim Acosta. Trump has called him crazy, which does not fit Jim Acosta but would definitely have described Hunter Thompson's "300 pound Samoan attorney".

There is one consistent theme to Trump’s use of the term that the preceding paragraph should make obvious: Stupid people are the ones who criticize and oppose him. In the primaries, that was mostly people from his own party. Afterward, that has been less likely to be the case.

Don't suppose we could borrow Trump to run Australia instead of having to put up with no-idea Turnbull and co we have running it now?

Bet Trump wouldn't be giving American farmers dying in the dust of near-worst-ever drought only a paltry $190m in total...they having to fill out 80 question applications to get any money.
Bet he [Trump] wouldn't be giving his farmers only $190m, while giving farmers in Indonesia a very large stack of cash.

Bet Trump wouldn't be giving Indonesia hundreds of millions in aid...while his farmers were destitute/broke, with little hope of surviving.

http://www.michaelsmithnews.com/2018/05/indonesia-bought-400m-worth-of-attack-helicopters-last-week-while-we-delivered-320m-in-aid.html

Indonesia bought $400M worth of attack helicopters last week - while we[Aust] delivered $320M in aid

Boeing sells the Apache AH 64E for about $48M AUD.
This week Indonesia took delivery of 8 of them - not far shy of $400M in one order.

It's a bit galling to know that Australia will send Indonesia about $320M in foreign aid this year.

But Boeing executives are popping the champagne corks, Indonesia's TNI is thrilled, the US embassy people couldn't be happier - and poor old Australian taxpayers are left shaking their heads.

No, Kiid.

What is the tally? You say he insults others just as much and in the same ways.

You made the claim. Back it up. If the numbers hold up, I will admit I was wrong. If they don't, you will, of course, never admit that you were wrong, but what else is new?

Provide the numbers. Or STFU. (Yeah, like you would do that, either. Making bogus claims without proof works for Trump, why not you, huh?!)

Looks to whom?

Quote
Most of those interviewed said they were not aware of any discrimination. However, some of the records recount the stories of black rental applicants who said they were told no apartments were available, while whites sent to check on the same apartments were offered leases.

The records, posted on the FBI's Freedom of Information Act website, include a 1974 interview with a former doorman at a Trump building in Brooklyn.

A supervisor "told me that if a black person came to 2650 Ocean Parkway and inquired about an apartment for rent, and he, that is [redacted] was not there at the time, that I should tell him that the rent was twice as much as it really was, in order that he could not afford the apartment," the ex-doorman said.

Just business decisions.

Giuliani says the lawyers made a mistake when they admitted that Trump had penned the note.

Giuliani says they weren't lying and neither was anybody else.

Trump, Jr. says that the Russians were baiting and switching: IOW, "We thought we were colluding with the Russians, but we weren't!"
