I don't think Trump is a racist. I don't think that's how his mind works. He just views and values anyone, skin color irrelevant, based on how they assist him in his desperate, profoundly damaged need for self-aggrandizement. Once they do not, he drops and attacks and belittles them, skin color irrelevant.
At the same time, he is clearly willing to enable racism towards that same personal needs and goals, and we've seen that manifest in how emboldened these people have become with him in office.
Which is worse: One ignorant, paranoid, bigoted racist, or one who enables many more? I'd say it was the latter. Especially when they are President.
