3. no doubt he is racist beyond belief...

However, the way I read this is that he has, for a very long time, confused Asylum Seekers coming into the USA with people from insane asylums ( like we had before Ronny Raygun closed most of them and created the homeless problem that is still with us, not that those places didn't need to be reformed = see One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest - but those places existed when Trump was a teen . Not to mention that he thinks insanity is genetic, which is something he worries about constantly given his family history.

This continued misunderstanding of the term is actually a sign of dementia and stupidity... and that worries me even more than racism ( well, they are all bad so... )
