Trump has used the word “racist” or “racism” at least 56 times on Twitter, according to the Trump Twitter Archive, a website that tracks and archives all the president’s tweets. In two-thirds of those Tweets, Trump levied accusations of racism at individuals or groups of people. And those accusations followed a very clear pattern: Trump has directed accusations of racism toward black people three times as often as he has done so against whites. Trump also has used the words “racist” or “racism” in a number of tweets that discuss the concept but don’t necessarily accuse anyone of racism. “Isn’t it intetesting that anybody who attacks President Obama is considered a racist by the real racists out there!” Trump remarked in 2013.
