I don't use the word "racist" often. I cringe when my friends say that the President Trump is a "white supremacist." I'm in the sensible center, and I'm comfortable there. But comments like these -- attributed to Trump by a US Senator, and not explicitly denied by the White House and anyone else with knowledge of the incident -- push me further to the Left, and require the harshest possible condemnation. Trump doesn't "get" the whole point of America. So how can he be expected to lead it?
