My take on every point:
1.
He said immigrants from Africa and Haiti come from “shithole countries”
They do. That's the non-politician saying it like it is. Why else would a black person in the US that feels they are repressed because of their color not want to move to Kenya, South Africa, or any other neighborhood in Wakanda, where their race is in charge. Heck, how about Haiti?
2.
He asked a Korean-American intelligence analyst where “your people” are from, and implied that her ethnic background should determine her job. The author needs to learn the difference between implication and inference. Just because their own racist tendencies causes them to infer this from his words, doesn't mean Trump was implying it. It's why people obsessed with sex find sexual innuendo in innocent statements made by people who are NOT obsessed with sex. And this doesn't even touch on the cultural differences that matter. Heck, that's where we get the phrase DWA (Driving While Asian). It's a real thing. And the comical part is the first time I ever heard the phrase was from an Asian guy I worked with. He believed it to be a real thing. He should know, right?
3.
He took more than 48 hours to denounce the white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia
Unlike a lot of leftists, he doesn't just jump into the Lynch mob like the left does. How many times must they walk back their original position as more info comes out. Remember, the only reason Charlottesville is a lingering story is because one frustrated guy ran people over. And as I type this, he is but one of many people that have run down protesters blocking the street and/or attacking their car. Whether that guy was a white supremacist, Antifa, BLM, KKK or any of the other radical alphabet soup organizations is really irrelevant. His action wasn't part of his organization's plans, like looting and rioting are for the other side. Add to that the leftist press' constant false narrative on what trump actually SAID, (And Biden is STILL doing it).
4.
Some of his top advisers and Cabinet picks have histories of prejudice.
So? Who doesn't? Meanwhile, how is that affecting their job? What are they actually DOING that is racist.
Implied? Or is that a listener inference?
Meh. I've already spent too much time on this. My list contains stuff Trump has actually DONE to improve the lives of minorities. This is a list of innuendo. Come to think of it, the whole "he's a racist" nonsense against Trump depends on innuendo regarding what he says, ignoring what he has actually done for all minorities. And if this is Huffpo's A list, it proves my point.
