For instance Tom Arnold called him White Trash on CNN. Should CNN apologize to Trump for airing such comments?
Yes, that is a racist comment. I don't know Tom Arnold's affiliation, but I don't see why CNN should apologize for him, just as I don't think it was ABC's place to apologize for Roseanne.

No, it's different. There are people of color that are rednecks and hicks.
