Whether or not Trump fits the textbook definition of a "racist" or "white supremacist" is ultimately irrelevant IMO. It's an exercise in futility to try and figure out what he feels in his heart.

When you're President, however, we get to define you by your policy prescriptions. And between the Muslim ban, the wall, voter suppression, criminal justice policy, and DACA -- these policies all share common threads: racism, racial ignorance, and contempt.

This, btw, is what drives me nuts about the Jeff Flakes and Bob Corkers of the world. Flake is giving another speech today denouncing Trump's "character" and "rhetoric". However, there's no clearer expression of Trump's character than his policies. And guys like Flake & Corker may talk a good game, but at the end of the day they support the expressions of his character -- his policies -- 90% of the time. Actions speak louder than words.
