“No. I’m not a racist. I’m the least racist person you will ever interview,” Trump told reporters while entering Trump International Golf Course, according to a White House pool report.
The president also reportedly doubled down on his denial that he never said the disparaging remark during the Oval Office meeting.
"Did you see what various senators in the room said about my comments? They were not made," Trump said.

The tweet replies are hilarious:
And most stable genius too,,,,
@realDonaldTrump, do you honestly think you're fooling anyone now?
He is the least presidential person you can interview. That I can tell you.
How would he know that? Same logic as "HRC was the worst Sec of State in US history". Guessing this history buff couldn't name another one.
“Ask my black friend Ben Carson - he’s one of the good ones”...
Unless the word racist has suddenly become synonymous with honest, that statement is false.
And also the most intelligent and the most caring and the most feminist and the most humble... I’m running out of superlatives

Donald Trump’s Racism: The Definitive List

Donald Trump has been obsessed with race for the entire time he has been a public figure. He had a history of making racist comments as a New York real-estate developer in the 1970s and ‘80s. More recently, his political rise was built on promulgating the lie that the nation’s first black president was born in Kenya. He then launched his campaign with a speech describing Mexicans as rapists.
The media often falls back on euphemisms when describing Trump’s comments about race: racially loaded, racially charged, racially tinged, racially sensitive. And Trump himself has claimed that he is “the least racist person.” But here’s the truth: Donald Trump is a racist. He talks about and treats people differently based on their race. He has done so for years, and he is still doing so.
Here, we have attempted to compile a definitive list of his racist comments – or at least the publicly known ones.
........... very, very, very long read
