Trump nickname in this case turns out to be a widely-recognized racial slur,
as is the "China loving" descriptor. (Elaine Chow was born in Taiwan.) It is
not surprising to hear racial slurs coming from someone with an "America
First" agenda.

Again, not being 100% supportive of Israel and Israeli policies (especially
towards the Palestinians) is not anti-Semitic.

That is what he'd like you to believe, yes. The white supremacists in his
base, with their unchallenged Confederate flags at his rallies, say something
different. If Trump truly believes that "Racism is evil, and those who cause
violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis
and white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything
we hold dear as Americans," why does he tolerate Confederate flags at his
rallies? He's certainly had other people kicked out of rallies.

Jeff.
