chris_gerribFrom somewhere else on the Internet, I give you this article about Donald Trump. Key takeaways:
1) Is Trump a racist? Probably, because he's not very smart and that's the default setting of not-smart people.
2) Does he really care about Confederate statues? No, but he's upset that people expect him to care about them (or anything other than himself) so he'll take a contrary opinion out of spite.
3) Trump's core beliefs are: "Give Donald Trump Your Money and Donald Trump Should Really Be on Television More." He is, in short, completely self-focused.
4) Trump's attraction to his allies is largely that of having the ability to not care about anybody else.
Go read the whole thing.
