I'd imagine the common denominator is that they are Democrats and he is supporting their Republican opponent. If he made those statements because they are black, that is clearly awful and unacceptable.

Excerpt:
The Justice Department previously told the judge that the discovery process “necessarily would be a distraction to the President’s performance of his constitutional duties.”
Messitte rejected that argument in Friday’s ruling, saying it was undercut by Trump’s own threats to sue his former adviser Steve Bannon as well as the publisher of a book, “Fire and Fury,” that was highly critical of his first year in office.
“It bears noting that the President himself appears to have had little reluctance to pursue personal litigation despite the supposed distractions it imposes upon his office,” Messitte said.

U.S. judge refuses to delay suit against Trump over foreign payments
A federal judge on Friday rejected a bid by President Donald Trump’s administration to delay a lawsuit alleging that his business dealings have violated a constitutional anti-corruption provision, moving the case toward the crucial evidence-gathering process.
U.S. District Judge Peter Messitte in Greenbelt, Maryland ruled against the administration’s request to bring an expedited appeal of previous rulings that allowed the case to proceed and its bid to halt the lawsuit’s discovery process, evidence-gathering that could force disclosure of Trump’s financial records.
The lawsuit, filed by the Democratic attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia, alleges that Trump has violated the U.S. Constitution’s “emoluments” provisions designed to prevent corruption and foreign influence.
Messitte in March narrowed the lawsuit to focus on profits stemming from Trump’s ownership, through the Trump Organization, of the Trump International Hotel, a popular spot for foreign officials near the White House, and not his businesses outside the U.S. capital.
“Our next step is to proceed with discovery,” Karl Racine, the District of Columbia’s attorney general, said in a statement. “We will soon provide the court a new schedule to begin the process of getting information about how President Trump is profiting from the presidency.”

One thing to keep in mind about the immigration/birthright discussions: don't for one second believe it's about the "legality" of it. I've seen that word used repeatedly across different platforms by these "innocent moderates" who are really Trump mouthpieces in sheep's clothing.
This is only about xenophobia and white nationalism. It has nothing to do with legality. **** them and **** that talk. Don't be naive.
And, if they haven't come after you yet, they will eventually.

Wait. He did call Maxine Waters ignorant...

Don't worry. I'm sure the guy who took out a full page ad calling for 5 boys of color to be executed for a crime they didn't commit would never say anything racist.
I'm sure the guy who spent years trying to discredit the first black president of this country on some racist conspiracy theory ******** would never say anything racist.
Let's not be ridiculous...

Don just takes things way too far. Calling a Gubernatorial Candidate a thief is not only incorrect but shows how shook a person is. There is only one Thief and deplorable that stole elections by lying his way to the top and that is none other than Andrew Demese Gillum.

Good read on the next in line behind Rosenstein to oversee the Mueller probe, and a little bit about the one behind Solicitor General Francisco.

Next-in-line Mueller supervisor got White House ethics waiver in April
Solicitor General Noel Francisco has been dogged by conflict of interest concerns related his potential role overseeing the the Mueller probe.
A senior Trump administration official in line to become special counsel Robert Mueller’s new supervisor if there’s a Justice Department shakeup secured White House approval earlier this year on what critics say is a potential ethics hurdle that could have kept him from assuming the high-profile role.
Solicitor General Noel Francisco has long been considered a likely candidate to oversee Mueller’s Russia probe if Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is fired or quits. But the 49-year-old conservative lawyer has also been dogged by conflict of interest concerns because he previously worked as a partner at Jones Day, the same law firm that represents Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in the Russia probe.
Officials at the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington have been arguing for months that to oversee the Mueller probe, Francisco would require a White House waiver to circumvent a Trump executive order that decreed employees must recuse themselves from work on any matters involving previous employers going back two years.
Turns out, Francisco actually got a White House waiverof that type in April. It’s not clear what triggered the waiver or if it had anything to do with Mueller’s investigation, but a senior Justice official on Friday downplayed its significance and insisted the department isn’t aware of any impediments to Francisco taking over responsibility for managing the Mueller probe if Rosenstein left his position.

I’m not sure if you are new to politics, but Trump has been calling his opponents stupid, and worse, since he began his campaign. And the targets have been gender and race-neutral. I’ve consistently said he could do better with his tweets. But he is an equal-opportunity insulter. Any implication that it is limited to a specific gender or race is easily dispelled.
Bottom line is many think he is a racist. So, as a result, people stretch what would otherwise be benign (but immature) insults to racist statements. When thought about logically, it seems foolish to actually say that calling someone unqualified is de facto racist. A smarter strategy is to attack Trump on real issues.

If you want to narrow the scope to insults, I guess you can call trump “race neutral”, but when it comes to his politics he’s far from it. The way he’s actively turned non white immigrants into boogeymen on the national stage is more than enough evidence of that. And whether he believes in to personally or not doesn’t matter because he’s well aware that his base believes it and that’s who he panders too.
