No he didn’t, you’re just parroting what you read on vox.
Trump’s rhetoric in the early stages of the Republican primaries was clumsy and in some cases misinterpreted. That is what you would expect from someone who has not been a politician i.e. a trained liar.
The most common charge against Trump (and his supporters) is that he is a racist. A racist is someone who believes that one race is superior to another. I don’t have time to explain why Trump is not a racist, but this article from a liberal publication should help you see things more clearly.
