Why does he refuse to condemn them?

Now if Trump would have really said "we" (the way Fred twisted them) then you'd have a point.

If Trump would have said "94% of you" (using Dill's stats) then you'd have a point

If Trump would have said "Back before all these black folks got here" then you'd have a point

Other that that, you just twisted his words to suggest he was talking about white folk, instead of folk from Minnesota. Admittedly you did this to support how the words "impressed" you. 

Trump did ask the crowd "You think we’re so different? You have good genes in Minnesota.” You caught that, right? Is it possible Trump doesn't include himself in the group of people with good genes? 

What if Trump would have said "Until all these brown folks get here--the ones Biden will send from Africa and other places?"

Trump did spend a lot of time threatening those genetically superior Minnesotans with the mass of Somalians waiting to flood their state if Biden won. Fair to say he thinks Africans ARE "so different," isn't it?   And there are already a lot of people in Minnesota Trump assumed didn't belong there, even though they were already citizens. ("Did Omar marry her brother [to get here]?") He used their presence to threaten the "real" Minnesotans with the specter of more of "THEM" coming. Is that how one talks about "Folk from Minnesota," not "just white folks"?

Minnesota fought on the side of the Union, but Trump felt a need to praise Robert E. Lee, who apparently would have won the Civil War at Gettysburg if that general guy he wanted to fight the battle hadn't already been killed. They "fought up hill and got slaughtered." Trump promised to protect "heritage"--from the statue vandals.

The question I have for you is--is it possible for someone to play a crowd with racial themes and fears, imply a stance towards race-coded issues, without ever saying the word "race" or explicitly affirming white supremacy? 

I get the impression you think that if Trump doesn't say "race" then he just can't be, no matter how long he goes on about "good genes" and threatening swarms of Africans and the best general to defend the cause of slavery.
