I think the difference, in these cases, are Trump is just mocking other ethnicities. He's not trying to pander to them. So it's a different energy. Trump, in these clips, is not trying to appeal to Indian or Hispanic people by imitating them, but rather distancing himself from them to get a laugh out of his primarily white fan base.
AOC is, according to the OP, trying to appeal to black people by putting on a false facade. Which is more a deception tactic than anything else.
Plus, I don't think using Trump as some kind of ethical, moral or normalized standard for what is not acceptable (and thereby, implicitly, approving of everything that isn't as bad as him) is a path I think most people would agree is not one we, as a nation, would prefer to go down. If you compare everything to the bottom rung, everything appears acceptable by comparison.
