Sherrilyn Ifill (president of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund) has been trying to call attention to this on Twitter, most recently this morning.

Trump’s phone call w/Govs should be listened to more closely. Why aren’t reporters interested in what he says beginning at min 39:44 when he describes the people he says “are easily led” in these protests?

HuffPo tweeted a slightly clearer audio 5 days ago, and the relevant section starts at 2:01 in their shorter audio clip:

Trump says of protest leaders he considers himself at war with: "They are radical anarchists, in many cases, and they are leading a group of black or brown with them, and these are easily led people."

He can try to fake it, but now it's on the public record. He believes that white people are superior to people of color. There it is.
