I have enough faith in the American people that they do not want to re-elect a person with his views. As I said before, the Republicans had an opportunity to nominate a candidate without Trump's personal flaws. Glenn Youngkin and Nikki Haley are 2 examples of Republicans who would have likely easily defeated Biden or Harris.

He treated that first journalist to ask him a question the same way he treated Megyn Kelly in 2015.  It's not about race.  It's about refusing to be held accountable for anything he says, and trying to distract the audience by attacking the person who brings it up instead of answering the question.  In 2015, no one in politics was prepared for that song and dance.  It was surprising, outrageous. And it worked.  Does it still work? Wait and see.

Contempt for black people? Not even close. You don't like the man, I get it, but come on.

Having a black employee does not excuse racism, not even close.  If Trump was racist, the black caddy would prove nothing.

But we can't really answer if Trump is racist unless we agree on what racism is.  Some people say it's nothing more than feelings a person has in their heart.  If that's the definition, no one can prove it about anybody.
