This article starts off with several politically-charged insults and accusations against the President, claiming he is a racist.
As the (never-Trump) news outlet National Review posted today[0], we can't have a productive conversation that starts from a faulty premise based on politically-charged opinion.
"There’s another reason the media are labeling Trump himself racist: This alleviates the requirement to honestly assess his actions and statements. Rather than analyzing whether a given statement is racist, or whether it could be interpreted otherwise, the media simply use Trump’s alleged racism as a skeleton key answering every question. Trump says he wants immigration restrictions? It must be racism. He slams radical Islamic terrorism? Racism. He condemns violence in inner cities? Racism. Each of those statements could more plausibly be read as non-racist, but the charge of racism papers over all shoddy analysis."
