What is telling is how much the media did not say about this. He said Mexico would not pay for it. Amazingly that basically means he agrees that the US can build the wall and has no real complaint except he isn't going to pay for it. The media did not report it that way for sure.

No, but it is telling that he did not protest about it at all. If it is so racist why would he not complain about the proposed existence of it? And if the leader of those it supposedly is racist against isn't complaining then how can a bunch of white liberals keep bitching? He just handed Trump a card to play.
