Trump says what a lot of people think

Agreeing is one thing. I don't demand people agree with my picture of Trump. But additionally calling all accusations of racism or misogyny some kind of liberal media campaign and more or less a cheap smear is another thing. One I take more issue with.

There's obviously some factual reasons to assume Trump might harbor racist or misogynistic notions. Agree or not, but I feel it needs to be accepted that there's enough data points to at least see the dispassionate validity of the point people are coming from when accusing Trump of racism.

I don't like the silent assumption that because I think Trump is pretty much a racist, I have to be biased or pro-dems or follow a liberal playbook against the political enemy or am pumped up by media exaggerations. It's about none of these things.
