I think attributing it to real ignorance and racism is .... misdirected. YMMV, but Scott Adams ( the Dilbert guy ) is calling Trump like I see him.<p>He&#x27;s just a phenomenal salesman.<p>I am especially loath to call some of the  simply tone-deaf things he says &quot;racism&quot;. After all, it might be technique at play, modulating your willing suspension of disbelief.<p>If he is any racist at all, it&#x27;s probably that annoying residual racism that comes from being older but is hard to characterize.
