Trump is a racist. But a very superficial one. He probably doesn't like Jews, but he can get along with them if there's something in it for him. He definitely looks down on Black people. But he's capable of being friendly with Black celebrities and athletes who are nice to him. I've seen enough videos of Trump one-on-one with a person, or with small groups, to see that he is capable of a glib, superficial charm. He's always had this natural, cunning talent for playing JUST inside the law. In the same way that he can shrug-off all criticisms and insults as unimportant to him while relentlessly going for the jugular on other people's weaknesses, he can summon the appearance of genuine caring and concern for them. But it's all transactional for him.
