Just like we have the left here, some of them, not accepting Brexit and then slag off the vote leavers with suggestions of a lack of Education.... remind you of anyone close to home ?

You yourself, Mr K, have a very divisive attitude towards any one who voted for Brexit, so stop being a bloody hypocrite !

As for racism....Put it this way, if he was as racist as you and others make him out to be, then why did Martin Luther King III want and manage to have 'constructive talks' with him in the last few weeks to move forward with plans to make it fairer for African American people to vote ?

This illustrates a policy of Trump's which is divisive - banning US organisations from funding any overseas organisation that offers abortions, even if the organisation provides those services from their own funds.

The Huffington Post lists 13 instances of Trump's racism. That doesn't mean that people like Martin Luther King III don't feel that it's better to work with him rather than against him. And I agree that it's a good thing to get more people out voting so credit to Trump there. And Trump may not have believed some of the racist comments he made.
