Oh okay. I'm just curious though, what has Trump done that is xenophobic though?
His whole campaign is based upon scapegoating foreigners (both foreign countries, and immigrates to america) for all of america's problems.
He is trying build a thousand mile wall across our southern border. Engaged in a tarriff war with China. And goes to heroic lengths to destroy our alliances.
Like a stopped clock he is sometimes right - like about going after China about intellectual property theft. And there is one foreign country he goes to heroic lengths to benifit -at the expense of the US and its traditional allies- the Russian Republic.

Trump never makes a single decision that's not based on fear of people who are different.

Is Trump against only non-white people coming into the country, such as with the wall or the Muslim ban, or is he not allowing white people into the country either?

Immigration bans on religious grounds.

I have not seen him raise a stink about white foreigners coming into the country, his own wife is an immigrant.

Oh okay, but here is the part I find to be kind of double standardish perhaps. So many people in the U.S. talk about what a racist country it is and how there is so much racism against non-whites, and how it's all about white privilege.
So if that's true, then isn't it a good thing that Trump is keeping non-white people out in the sense that he is doing them a favor? Why do them the disservice of bringing them into such a racist country, that is full of white privilege, if that is the case? People keep talking about how the country is racist and full of white privilege, but at the same time, they want to expose all these non-whites to it if they were allowed to enter the country. So isn't Trump doing them a favor then?
"It's called "systemic" racism because it's ingrained in nearly every way people move through society in the policies and practices at institutions like banks, schools, companies, government agencies, and law enforcement."
Systemic racism doesn't exist. It's nothing more than racist propaganda meant to divide Americans and reinforce black privilege.
black privilege huh?
When white people go to outdoor church services without wearing a mask, they get arrested:
Not only do black people not get arrested for not wearing a mast, they can destroy our historical monuments, burn down buildings, and assault the police without being arrested. That's because of their black privilege they got from racist politicians and the racists who voted for them.

The BLM is portrayed by the media all the time as anti-Trump, and for Joe Biden, but I thought that BLM was about black lives matter and wanting justice for brutality against black people. Since Trump doesn't have anything to with that, why does it matter if a BLM is pro-Trump or not?
That's like saying well if you are a Christian, you can only vote for a certain leader, or something like that, for example.
Unless I am wrong and the BLM has a rule that you cannot vote for Trump?
BLM is about anarchy. BLM is a movement that wants to defund the police. Without money going to the police there is no more police and with no more police investigating crimes and charging people the criminal courts will no longer be able to function. Ironically without police charging people and investigating crimes racism will effectively be legal again and not a single soul will ever be brought before a judge again even for race crimes.
BLM is just anti government full stop. It's not for or against either party. It's

Notice how tons of them are choir singing? That is actually one of the worst things to do during a pandemic...they are intentionally trolling and they know it. I bet if it was a mostly black people they would have arrested them to.
I just can't even....with the nonsense in the second part, sounds like Edward Nortons character in American History X.

TO ALL YOU UNEDUCATED TRUMPERS! READ MORE!
"Black Lives Matter (BLM) is a DECENTRALIZED political and social movement advocating for non-violent civil disobedience " FROM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter 1.BLM is not an organization. There is no leadership. 2. To say that EVERYONE or even a majority of people that think that black lives matter are violent is stupid. 3. Even if all the looters believed that black lives are important does not mean that all those that believe that black lives matter are looters. I realize that this will go over trumper's heads but " All dogs are mammals does not mean that all mammals are dogs. I am sick of all the self righteous morons that proclaim " all lives matter." If you saw a person being stabbed to death and he was screaming, " my life matters." Would you scream back, " Hey self centered idiot. What about my life? Doesn't it matter? " OR WOULD YOU HELP HIM?

You're entitled to your opinion but the facts say otherwise. There were thousands of black people protesting the death of a man who died of a drug overdose in police custody a few months ago and they weren't arrested unless someone got extremely violent in which case they were arrested and quickly released.
