Trump won the white working-man vote..

It's a point about border control. Unless you want to say to me he said all Mexicans are rapists then you don't have a leg to stand on.

Well, there's your problem, right there.  In his original comment, he went through a litany of the problems Mexicans were allegedly bringing to America and at the end of that litany, he said, "... and I have to assume that some are good too." Appending this caveat of "assuming" some are good "too" after asserting, as bare fact, that Mexico was sending "rapists" (with no "assuming" it, simply stating it as bare fact) is your clue here.

His point, anyway, is not about border control. You see, half of the illegal aliens in America aren't here from Mexico as a result of sneaking across the southern border. They're here because they overstayed visas, and they're from many, many countries. The fact that he's going to take care of illegal immigration by only tackling one half of it -- the visible, brown half, y'know) is another datum that you clearly haven't introduced into your ill-advised thinking here.

Simply because you like the guy doesn't mean he's not racist, nor does it mean you are racist.

He's got a long history of racist behavior. I don't blame you for not knowing this stuff, because after all, it's not your own country, your own leader, that we're discussing. But not all opinions are equal, and yours certainly won't be until you can explain his behavior in terms other than racism. That is the prism he himself has used.

My bold.

Does he actually like Trump though? Or is he simply sharing a different, benefit-of-the-doubt type perspective?
