President Donald Trump has had an especially hard time convincing Americans he's not racist this week.

What with blaming "many sides" and the "alt-left" after this weekend's deadly violence in Charlottesville — despite white supremacists and neo-Nazis being at the heart of the protests against the removal of a Confederate statue — he's making it pretty hard to believe otherwise. 

Trump received a great deal of backlash for refusing to directly condemn white supremacists, the KKK, and neo-Nazis until Monday, and that statement was undermined by his off-the-rails press conference a day later that once again blamed "both sides," emboldening the KKK and white supremacists. 

Trump has yet to denounce the hate groups that brought fear into Charlottesville's streets, beginning with a racist, torch-lit march Friday night, on Twitter, his messaging platform of choice. Holding back on Twitter insults seems pretty unlike Donny Boy.

In fact, after searching through the depths of the Trump Twitter Archive, it's clear Trump has no problem publicly decrying things and people as racist — so long as they're not Nazis or white supremacists.

Barack Obama

See June 2007 speech—is Obama a total racist?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 3, 2012

First black president? Must be racist. So racist that he warranted another tweet.

Touré

Not only is @Toure a racist (and boring), he's a really dumb guy!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 13, 2013

This man wrote Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness?: What It Means To Be Black Now, so that makes sense? Right? According to Trump, Touré's a very boring racist responsible for racist coverage on MSNBC and has bad ratings.

Jon Stewart

Is John Stewart racist? Well that YouTube video doesn't work, so we can't really say.

Danny Zuker

@DannyZuker Another racist remark by you, Danny, are you a racist?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 24, 2013

Zuker seems to have referenced an example of Trump being racist ... but maybe he's actually the racist one.

Bryant Gumbel

You must admit that Bryant Gumbel is one of the dumbest racists around - an arrogant dope with no talent. Failed at CBS etc-why still on TV?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 21, 2013

Another black man Trump accuses of being racist ... Trump also called him a talentless, really dumb, man with a "long and deep record of failure." But to be clear, Trump doesn't think Gumbel's stories are racist — just him.

Anthony Weiner

Wacko pervert @AnthonyWeiner’s idea of Hispanic outreach is using Carlos Danger as his sexting. He’s an insensitive racist.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 26, 2013

What do you even say to that?

Football coaches

Football coaches are no longer allowed to scream and yell at their players because it is discriminatory,racist and can be viewed as bullying

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 17, 2013

Come again?

Black-ish

How is ABC Television allowed to have a show entitled "Blackish"? Can you imagine the furor of a show, "Whiteish"! Racism at highest level?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 1, 2014

Forget the fact that the show is about a black man trying to raise his family in today's society with a strong sense of cultural identity, Trump feels the title is racist.

Django Unchained

Django Unchained is the most racist movie I have ever seen, it sucked!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2013

You know, the movie about a freed slave...

The Maryland Democrat Party

The Maryland Democrat Party attacked me with a racist flyer. @Hogan4Governor won, 2nd GOP governor elected in 40 years.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 5, 2014

K.

Macy's

Interesting that @Macys criticized me but just paid $650,000 in fines for racial profiling. Are they racists?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 1, 2015

Yes, the department store.

Bill and Hillary Clinton

Remember that Bill Clinton was brought in to help Hillary against Obama in 2008. He was terrible, failed badly, and was called a racist!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 29, 2015

You saw that one coming.

Elizabeth Warren

Goofy Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to as Pocahontas, pretended to be a Native American in order to advance her career. Very racist!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2016

Ugh.

Tavis Smiley

How many black men does this make, Trump?

Turn the tables

While the archive shows many accusations from Trump, it also shows some of the many who've called him racist. Over the years big names like David Letterman, Al Sharpton, Donny Deutsch, and Mitt Romney have called the president racist — but he continues to assure us all he is not.

Don King, and so many other African Americans who know me well and endorsed me, would not have done so if they thought I was a racist!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 11, 2016

This all makes a lot of sense. Really.
