    Trump's so smart, he'll probably build his library and lease it back to the U.S. Government under some perpetual lease agreement.

    LOL!!!
    Except you have zero evidence of any actual racism by Trump. Just your imagination.
    On the other hand, there are dozens of racist posts made by you, specific with epithets.
    Just in the last 12 months.
    DOZENS.

    Show me one utterance of a racial epithet by Trump.
    One time where he said nigger or spic or kike or chink. Something. Not bullshit innuendo like some NY Times list - show ACTUAL PROOF.

    Why would Horowitz come to any different conclusion he did the first time around? The personal incentiuves for him are all aligned with consistency.

    Shouldn't you guys re-open the "white water investigation", probably more productive? Or what about Bill on the Tarmac? You obviously don't realize y'all are looking like fools. I suppose you can't help it.

    Sure.Mine and halfof the country.

    Half the country thinks Donald Trump is a racist. HALF.


    Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

    Updated 10:12 AM ET, Wed July 4, 2018
    (CNN)A new Quinnipiac University poll has a striking result: 49% of people said they believe President Donald Trump to be a racist while 47% believe he is not.

    Pause and digest that: Half the country -- HALF -- thinks the elected President of the United States harbors racist views.That's a remarkable finding. Full stop.

    What explains it? No one thing.

    Here are the two most obvious options.

    1. This question, like all questions tied to Trump, is effectively a measure of whether you love or hate the President. So, 86% of Republicans say Trump isn't a racist and 86% of Democrats say he is. Independents, who view Trump slightly more negatively than positively overall, have similar view on whether he is a racist: 50% say he is, 44% say he is not.

    The "racist" numbers are not a direct facsimile of Trump's overall approval numbers, of course. More people feel unfavorably about Trump's job performance (55%) than say he is a racist (49%). But it's close.

    2. Trump has repeatedly played with racist and xenophobic language and sentiments -- from suggesting Mexico is sending rapists and criminals to the United States to arguing the white supremacist violence in Charlottesville was a "both sides" issue to suggesting African-American Rep. Maxine Waters is a "very low IQ individual."
    When you dabble in casual racism -- whether purposely or accidentally (and it's hard to know which one Trump is doing each time), some decent-sized chunk of people are going to believe that you are -- wait for it -- a racist.

    Trump's response to the consistent finding that half the country believes him to be a racist -- Quinnipiac found 49% saying that of Trump back in February -- is to not only insist that he isn't a racist but, in typical Trumpian overstatement, that he is the least racist person in the world.
    A few examples:
    • "No, no, I'm not a racist. I am the least racist person you have ever interviewed, that I can tell you."
    • "Number one, I am the least anti-Semitic person that you've ever seen in your entire life. Number two, racism, the least racist person."
    • "I am the least racist person that you have ever met."
    Actions, of course, speak louder than words. And Trump's actions, at a minimum, raise questions about his views on race.

    Trump may not care about these findings -- which aren't a one-off, but rather a consistent sign that half the country feels this way. Why might he not care? Because 86% of Republicans believe he is not a racist and even higher numbers approve of him. And Trump has run a base-focused presidency from beginning to end.

    Of course, there are some issues that should transcend mere partisan calculation. It is an inarguably bad thing -- no matter which party you identify with -- for one half of the country to think the nation's top elected leader is a racist.
    Trump may not care. But he should. He very much should

    50% of the country has an IQ between 90 and 110 also.
    They think he's a racist because they are told he's a racist.
    Thats how it works. Wiki Joseph Goebbels.
