    Sure, on the surface, when you read/hear some of Trump's impetuous rants, it may not be difficult to label him as a racist - particularly, if one was of a Liberal bent. Libs have been ingrained to hate Trump ever since he stole the election from their precious Hillary.

    That said, it would occur to me that Trump's body of work speaks otherwise., from his policies to help raise the opportunities/standards for minorities, to the people he's chosen to work with him in the White House, or otherwise.

    If anything, Trump could certainly be accused of being a ready-shoot-aim type. Again, I'll use the term, impetuous.

    On a different note, I'm not certain he'll win the tariffs war with China. It's a very tenuous battle. I understand him wanting to more lever the trade playing field, but....

    I had an idea whereas our government marketed a "Support Our Farmers!" campaign and listed various produce, meat, and dairy items we could all buy to help them out. I can only imagine, if our country got on-board with this, how much revenue could be generated to help our farmers across the land.

    Or maybe it's you that isn't being rational about him, you should consider that possibility also.

    What's he done for minorities, exactly? Who are the people in the white house that you are referring to? His white house is the whitest white house in generations.

    Right, we all need more soybeans. Many, many tons of them, in fact. Maybe we could all fill our garages and spare bedrooms and back yards with soybeans.

    I'll continue to support my President. Moreover, no Presidential candidates on the left moves my needle.

    I think he's incredibly in love with our country and is doing his best to raise the needle for ALL of our citizens. I also think he has a very short fuse when it comes to receiving criticism. Truly, he needs some sensitivity training.

    Let me ask you this: Why is it so many Black Republicans are adamant that he's NOT a racist? I hear reports of this every. single. day.

    Sooooo many black republicans are out there. It’s a TINY % of people. Your non answer says that you do realize he’s racist, and you support him.

    No, my answer is he's being accused by the left as a racist, and that's a far cry from how I view it.

    Why is he being accused? There’s no evidence, it’s just being made up? Did they make up that GWB was racist? Why Trump? Are the splicing up videos and changing his words? Has there been any reason to accuse him of being racist? If people just hated him wouldn’t they focus on him being stupid, or his relationship to convicted felons, or his affairs, wouldn’t that be enough?

    Also for finishers. He's pretty much the only one, right?

    Where is that rolling on the floor laughing for hours emoji?

    He's in love with Kim Jong Un. And Vlad. And maybe Duterte.

    But mostly and above all else, he's in love with himself.

    Im probably gonna get blasted for this but hey Ive had a long day, lets do this lol.

    I think Trump is actually worse than a racist, he’s is self-absorbed will say and do anything it takes to, “win”. Is he getting pressure from people to say the KKK and racism is bad, he’ll go say something thats basically boiler plate to get them off his back. Is his crowd more of the racist “types”, then he’ll say racist crap. Im not sure what his positions really are other than he’s gonna do and say what he thinks will rile up his base, troll the left and his, “enemies”, he is unfortunately the most self absorbed president I can remember. If others were more self-absorbed they at least did a good job of hiding it.
