I mean, Trump's relationship with "The Blacks" has always been at arms length at best, and usually he viewed them as a group that was an easy target to exploit in his con games. Adams is coming off as a bit unhinged IMO. Believing that a man is, or what he believes, is based only on the last words to come out of his mouth, rather than the actions of his previous 50-60 years of behaviors, is pretty stupid. To me that screams rube more than it does high functioning intellectual with opinions worth listening to. The whole false dichotomy of whether Trump is a racist or a con-man is pretty weak too. Trump is a racist
AND a con-man. That has been his life work and he has succeeded in both areas, no matter how hard Adams objects.
