I don’t understand your argument. He is inherently evil because he acts in self interest?

Self interest is a large driving force of every politician. Not to generalize, but it is a quality shared by the overwhelming majority of all constituents as well. Voters will select the politician whose interests align with their own. Aside from a few outlying examples, it is self-interest which tends to drive the economy, protect lives, and establish individual liberties and freedoms.

To be clear, I’m not a fan of Donald Trump for other reasons, but I’m also not a fan of Hilary Clinton or her past history as a failed Secretary of State. I just don’t think Trump is racist or sexist because of some of the sound bytes we’ve heard. Rough around the edges, yes; politically correct, certainly not; but accusations of character with shady proof should be considered libelous, given the impact that a sexist or racist has on public image.

I’m going to leave this refute at that, which is that self-interest isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I won’t even begin to get in the theory of why just because you don’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen - which seems like the part you haven’t mention (personal events, calls, texts, emails, etc) haven’t been given, so there is not enough information to determine if anyone is a racist or sexist. It could be true, it could be false, proof has not been provided.
