Trump's deeds his legacy

It is understandable that Nancy Burlison (viewpoint, Aug. 28) thinks Donald Trump is not a racist . . . however, he publicly aligns his beliefs and actions with those of his base, which is perhaps, the source of an accurate racist accusation. The members of his base are many things including: racists, homophobic, anti-choice and climate deniers. Our elected officials are what they say and do publicly, not what they might otherwise believe privately.
