1. fun fact on this actually! it was NOT hillary that started it, in fact she actively shut down that argument / ignored it. i will give you credit that it was her party that was bitter and attempted to, but after obamas people showed his birth certificate, those rumours started dying down. THEN, trump started them up again and kept them going hard up until 2011, where he suddenly shifted his stance and said “nuhuh. hillary started this! I’m ending it!” (paraphrased).
2. this point is an interesting one, simply because of HOW he worded it. most people would agree that saying "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," he said. "They're sending people that have lots of problems...they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." IS racist because it generalises a group of people and with no proof to back his claims up. i think that is a big part of it, actually. the fact that he calls them rapists/murders but offers basically no proof ever.
3. he did not ban muslims (mostly because something like that would simply not be possible) but he pushed forward a stereotype and put fear in peoples hearts. that muslims were people yo be afraid of. that they needed to be banned from america.
4. she was his rival, he absolutely says “pochahantas” in an insulting way. moreover, the Native American leaders even agreed that it was racist, and insulting, but that didnt make him stop. trumps behaviours do not exist in a vaccum, these things are considered racist and bad BECAUSE of the context. also it’s funny you say this because hes actually had a lot of issues within the Native American communities
5. i do apologise for that!
https://x.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1150381394234941448?s=46&t=hJ6GdTAjgrKVtKCh4JelLg this gives more context on why this specifically is bad. these people are US Citizens. basically telling them “go back to your country!” is shitty and racist.
6. fun fact! it is!! because even experts actively stated that labelling the virus specifically in relation to china would JUST lead to xenophobia and cause people to lash out at Asians when they arent even at fault. as a prominent leader with a large following, he KNEW the impact he would have when he actively referred to it in that way. I guess you could make the argument that he isn’t racist, hes just dim and socially inept, but even then like. cmon.
7. THIS IS CRAZY WORK. classifying specific countries as “shit holes” IS RACIST BRO. yes, 60% of haiti lives in poverty, but it is still a country with a rich culture and history. again though, he had no reason to call it a shithole??
(skipping point 8, theres not much to say on it)
9. there are emails and recordings that talk about delivering the fake elector certificates. this information literally comes from a pro-trump attorney that was a part of it, and pled guilty. trump himself was charged on four felony counts for the shit in 2020.
at the end of the day, if you look at these situations as single, completely unrelated events, you could possibly argue that they arent that bad. if you actually put all of his behaviours together, you can tell just what a racist person he is. on top of that, hes got a horrible character, is a literal pedophile, rapist, liar that doesnt actually care about the American people.
