If he isn't an active KKK member himself he should be because that's his heritage. If he had lived in the early 20th Century he would have led mobs to lynch black people.
I am sure he would, but I think the bigger picture as to why he is such an asshole bully is that his dad verbally abused him and probably physically as well. His dad hated losing and taught him to win at all costs. And when you look at the rise of despots even outside this issue, at a minimum they come from strict authoritarian families.
Abuse often leads one to grow up to abuse others.
45 hated his dad being angry at him and did everything to please him, even if it meant shitting on others.
