In 2018, the New York Times posted an article about Trump being a racist. In response in the readers' comments, a woman wrote this.
She hit it right on the head.

"I think calling Donald Trump a racist misses the mark. He is incredibly superficial and empty of thought, and calling him a racist suggests he actually has a belief system, when in fact he simply thinks about what’s in it for him. He likes attractive people, and winners and has zero sympathy for people who struggle, despite his claims to the contrary. His idea of helping the working class is to make it easier for wealthy people to hire them for low wages and low benefits. Your worth is measured in what you earn. Little by little, the Republican party has been introducing the idea that in order to get ahead, we need to focus on societies winners, and not worry about those unable to make it.

Forget racism. This is the real issue."
