Though Mr Trump called it racist, the words "race" or "racial" appear just twice in the law's text: once, alongside "color, religion, national origin, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability", in a passage stating that no groups should be excluded from funding, and later, in a list of covered populations, along with older adults, veterans, people with disabilities, English learners, people with low literacy levels and rural Americans.

So it had nothing to do with race. But we need to cut waste. Nevermind the several trillion dollars just approved for the military, after we were already spending more than the next several countries combined.

He doesn’t actually know what the team ”racist” means, he just knows energizes his base to hear things called that. Whatever shocks his voters into action and belief is good publicity for him and his cronies.

He knows what we say it means, but he is a eugenicist and believes that white people are biologically superior. He co-opts our language because it fuels a media cycle. The fascists love when he co-opts our language. Its all games of confusion and misdirection and redefinement.
