Trump isn't racist. He is trying to win a primary filled with uneducated racist voters.
A racist - in the non technical way it is commonly applied- is someone who generalizes from one or some to many.
One/some Muslims are terrorists = all Muslims are terrorists. Trump speaks this way, but he is merely being an opportunist, in the same way Reagan was being an opportunist when he pretended to be religious in order to form a conservative voting coalition.
