For Donald Trump’s entire political career, he’s used racism as a tool to distract the public from matters more significant. In 2012, he resorted to birtherism while questioning Barack Obama’s citizenship to disrespect the nation’s first Black president.

When launching his presidential campaign in 2015, he called Mexicans rapists to incite fear. He spent his presidency attacking other groups to rally the most xenophobic and racist base of his supporters. https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-real-reason-trump-attacks-harris-racial-identity-its-a-distraction
