Is Donald Trump racist?

Hey guys, its me again, artistic_opinion and today we will be discussing the unanswered question, on: Is Donald Trump racist. In have decided to post on this because of the new issue about President Trump's new border. So without fruther ado lets begin...
Why do I think he is racist?
I believe that Donald Trump is racist because lately, in my perspective, he has been quite rude to muslims. Although he said that he wanted to banned muslims in America, for the protection of his country I do not think this is the reason why. I think that he has done this for his own personel gain; what I mean by this, is that he has done this because he does not like muslims. However in this world, there have been many incidents of which muslims have been involed. For example, ISIS, which stands for Islamic States of Iraq and Syria.
If I am wrong
If I am wrong please do forgive me, but I cannot help myself but say that Donald Trump is a very dodgey man. Furthermore, how can the United Staes be united if their leader is not? Also, Donald Trump had asked the government for a few billion dollars budget for the wall between the two countries. However, when the government did not deliver, he shut down the US government for weeks! Surely, this man would do anything to get his way. In addition to this, Donald Trump had frist said that he would build up to a half of the border, but now he has said he will build up to a quarter

Hi artistic_opinion. Thanks for stating your view in this post. There are a couple of things to think about here. Firstly, it's a very big claim to call someone racist or a dodgey man, and should be careful about labeling people, especially ones who are in the public eye. This is because we don't know them personally and often we only receive an edited version of who they are or what they think. We should remember to use our scepticism skill! However, it is also important to call out racist behaviour if we have evidence for this.
It's also worth noting that, while billions of dollars is a lot of money, in the context of the government's budget it might not be that much. It would be interesting to know how much they spend on defence or education, for example.
Thank you Olivia, now I can understand properly. This post took very long to write because I was unsure what everyone esle would think. your advice helped me learn more about the BNC skills, so thank you. Also the end of the year is coming up and if I do not come to BNC next year, I thank you and the rest of the BNC team (mostly you and tiff though!) :)
You're very welcome! Luckily, we have a whole Issue left for next half term!

I agree. Donald Trump is racist. He has been quite mean to Muslims. Donald Trump is racist to Muslims because he said that when they have their scarf around their face they look like mail boxes. You have thought a lot about this post and put a lot of thought into it. Well done artistic_opinion
When you say "Donald Trump is racist to Muslims because he said that when they have their scarf around their face they look like mail boxes" can you find evidence for this? I think Boris Johnson may have been the person that said this.
You are correct it was Boris Johnson that said it. That means I have no proof
Thanks so much quickwitted_cranberry! you really are quick witted

I agree because he blames Muslims for things that is not there fault and he would do anything to get his own way even shut down the US government like you said.

In my opinion he is a bit racist, but at the same time he has got a different mind that makes him to do excessive things

for me Trump is racist and male chauvinist, and is not the perfect president for the USA.

I don't wan't to be rude as Donald Trump is -on the other hand- a good man. I am a Christian and America is the country/region that has the most Christians so if I were to live there, I could actually follow my religion. Also being against someone's religion isn't racist but I can see were you have gotten that idea from. Not everyone with a darker race is a Muslim or follows Islam. I have great friends who also think that but I have never came across any proof so if there is proof please tell me because I am sceptical about the term 'racist'.
Great post by the way artistic_opinion!
