An argument could be made that Trump's extreme pathological narcissism almost guarantees that he's racist. We're talking about a dipshit who appears to actually believe he's a product of superior genetics because his uncle was a physicist of some acclaim at MIT.

Heh, yeah, could be. Maybe he thinks he's the (singular) ubermensch, a rather unique form of racism.

In any event, the whole point here was to try to understand motivations. When I know *why* a politician does what they do, it helps me understand what they are (un)likely to do in the future. And, yep, it's all very speculative. However, there is circumstantial evidence available.
