That is a lie. He did no such thing.
I don't think his campaign promises were explicitly racist. But the initial promise to exclude all Muslim immigrants was clearly an appeal to bigotry. His castigating a judge hearing his case as being unfair because of his race was also a balloon released so the bigots in this country could see where Trump stood. The wall, while being aimed nominally at illegal aliens, had a racist element insofar as there's no other initiative to take care of the other 50% of the illegal immigration.
He never said, "I hate spics and will work to keep them out of the country", you're right. But his racism was obvious to anyone with two neurons functioning. Anyone who could look past his base racism and vote for him should be asking themselves long, hard questions.
