I didn't call him racist with the travel ban. However, he "play to the base" by referring to it as the "China Virus/Chinese virus" was a tad on the racist side. On another board, a rabid Trump fan made a post about how to punish China "and the Chinese people". My girlfriend has an adopted daughter who lives in Brooklyn who happens to be Chinese. 25 years growing up in America and she was accosted on the street for not wearing a mask (in the early days of the problems in NYC) . I wonder where that person got the idea that she was the bad one. FWIW - it was around the time T Rump was using the "Chinese Virus" talk. That's my real problem with Trump. Most leaders tend to think before they speak. Trump babbles on without thinking, then spends then next week blasting people for criticizing him for what he said.
