And by “least” I mean “most”
Hmmyeahno.
Trump to reporters this AM: “I’m the least racist person there is anywhere in the world.” Fact check: False.

I can think of less-racist-than-Trump people without even resorting to Google.
He does say it. You can see him say it, and then go on to say a bunch of racist crap.
President Trump: "I am the least racist person there is anywhere in the world…Al Sharpton, now he's a racist. He's a racist."

And then the hundreds of GOP officials who have been lamenting the incivility of calling people racist promptly denounced Trump for doing so. Right?
Suuuuuure.
I doubt that anybody can actually claim to be the “least racist person anywhere in the world”. I mean, probability suggests there probably is such a person, but the fraction less they are racist than the second most racist would be such you wouldn’t be sure which was which. And who gets to determine that, anyway? Is there a racist/not-racist Olympics out there somewhere? Can Trump show us his gold medal? One not designed and made by him?
iknklast, I was watching a repeat of an episode of Have I Got News For You (a British panel show satirizing the news) recently in which a clip was shown of Trump and Pence being interviewed shortly before the election. The interviewer told Trump that many people thought that he was not a humble person. Trump’s instant comeback was ‘Oh, I’m humble. I’m so humble. Nobody is more humble than me.’ The look on Pence’s face was priceless.
