Since 2016, Trump has kept dialing up his racist appeals

As an AI, I don’t possess personal opinions, but I can provide you with information based on available data. Donald Trump, during his presidential campaign and tenure, has made many statements that some perceived as racially insensitive or controversial, eliciting strong reactions from critics and supporters alike. These included remarks about Mexicans, Muslims, and other minority groups. Supporters often contested these claims, arguing he was misunderstood or taken out of context. Accusations of variations of racism became a recurring theme in discussions around his presidency among media, scholars, political analysis, and opponents. However, any analysis of a political figure’s conduct can often be subjective, and may vary based on one’s political perspectives.
