> He seems to have been disavowing racists since the start

Pandering to racists since the start:

* Initial refusal to rebuke David Duke.

* "Rapists" remark.

* Violence on "both sides".

* Not mentioning the Jews on Holocaust Remembrance day.

* No traditional White House Ramadan celebration.

* Attacking the hispanic judge in the Trump U case because of their race.

* Calling for and attempting to implement a "Muslim Ban".

* Appointing Jeff Sessions, who had been denied a judgeship due to his racist beliefs.

* The dog whistling about the lawless "inner cities".

* Supporting the birther theory.

The list goes on and on.

Even when he does rebuke racists, it's never prompt, and always with a wink and a nod. If you don't believe me, go peruse stormfront and look at all the threads celebrating their "victory" when Trump says these things, they recognize what's going on.

You just listed a bunch of events with zero context that require initial bias to dry racism over.

This "wink and nod" idea seems pretty tin-foil hat to me

You're hopeless, this is not subtle stuff, you're being deliberately obtuse, or you're just plain stupid.
