Trump Watch 20180704

Today's Episode:  Is he or isn't he?

It's the Fourth of July, and not a lot of actual news or particularly interesting tweets.  Saw an article that says that 49% of voters think Trump is racist, to 47% who don't think he is.  I'm definitely curious how that would change if it took into account non-voters.  55% did say that Trump has made it easier for racists to act out.
Apparently there has been a steady rise in hate crimes against "black, Hispanic, Jewish, and gays" over the last four years, at least according to the Center for the study of Hate and Extremism.  I have no idea how good their methodology is though.
