Curious to see some examples cited.

You act as if CNN and ACLU are convincing sources,even though they have obvious agendas against the current administration.

The ACLU link is literally a timeline of events. Care to refute those instead of just making an ad hominem?
The guy said "there are good people on both sides" after a group of neo Nazis chanted "Jews will not replace us," murdered a woman by driving a car into a crowd, and attempted to lynch a black man.
I clicked the first link.

I feel a strange need to show fairness to Trump here. The CNN headline is very misleading, it says "Trump basically called Mexicans rapists again" but then goes on to quote him and the quote doesn't contain any such statement. He doesn't even mention Mexicans. Rather he makes a general statement that women get raped a lot on the paths used for illegal immigration into the USA, a statement CNN actually agrees with according to their article:

"Nobody is arguing that the trip from Central America to the US is easy or that women are not attacked or exploited on it. That is a well-documented problem, one that Trump brought up to bolster his own case for tougher immigration laws."

Trump expressing concern about abuse of women on the paths used by illegal immigrants is an odd form of 'racism'.
