The President of the United States is racist.  In other breaking news, the sun rose in the East today.  Donald Trump’s racist views were on display during the presidential campaign.  Dude didn’t hide them.  Thus, there should be zero surprises that he disparages black, brown, or other non-white people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
