It's about selective breeding and is a deeply tainted term, that is about eugenics and genetic purity. I'm not trying to convince you of that, but you can't convince me that Trump definitely meant nothing nefarious and that every other take but the most innocent one (he didn't know about the term's history or meaning and just made it up on the fly because he wanted to be nice) is word twisting. Calling the racehorse theory a dark, racially tainted term is not word twisting, it just describes reality.
