Prior to his presidency here's how things were "racism" wise: https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+with+sharpton&newwindow=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjfqIfB757iAhXEMnwKHV0kDYUQ_AUIDigB&biw=2048&bih=1070 https://www.google.com/search?q=trump+with+sharpton&newwindo.... Dude even had a black girflriend for a couple of years: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/us/politics/trump-blacks-african-americans-girlfriend-charlottesville.html https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/17/us/politics/trump-blacks-... As to "mountains of evidence", up until you've read the article I linked, you thought there was "mountain of evidence" about Charlottesville, too. Heck, you probably still think that, this particular bit of fake news has been drilled into everyone's skulls relentlessly for over a year. What makes you think that other "evidence" is not of the same quality?

One article from which that first picture was taken[0] suggests other than the narrative you want to present: Today, the two are at opposite ends of the political spectrum. In the interview last December, Trump said on Fox that Sharpton “is a guy who I don’t believe really believes what he’s saying.” And Sharpton has used his MSNBC and radio shows to criticize Trump, arguing that his stances on Barack Obama’s birth certificate and the Central Park Five were racist. And here's another one[1] where Al Sharpton out and out calls Trump a racist. So that leaves the fact that he one dated a black woman as your evidence to disprove everything else? H.P. Lovecraft was a racist and virulent antisemite, and yet he still married a Jewish woman. Racists are not racist about everything, all the time, like cartoon characters, and where people like Trump are concerned, obviously class status also has an effect on the way race is viewed. Not terribly convincing. [0]https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/09/trumps-pal-al-sharpton/ https://www.nationalreview.com/2015/09/trumps-pal-al-sharpto...

  Of course Sharpton will call him a "racist" _now_. Not doing so would subject him to intense repercussions as a democrat, his career would be over in an instant. But Trump is the dude literally _nobody_ had any problems with until he ran against HRC, including the likes of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, etc. He received the Rosa Parks award fer chrissakes: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-received-ellis-island-award-in-1986/ https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-received-ellis-islan...
