It was a general question. I am unaware of Trump uttering any racist diatribes, although I know he has been accused of it. The muslim immigration issue (which has been thoroughly lied about in “news” coverage) is less than a nothing-burger. It, literally, is stopping the government machine (at least temporarily) until its works are understood and corrected to proper function.
Trump successfully uses many liberal tactics against his opponents, both liberal and otherwise. He personifies, in some ways, the most effective of Alinky’s rules - especially the use of ridicule.
These are explicitly the tactics used by liberals every danged day.
The GOP electorate has been clamoring for someone to use these same tactics against the libs, but the GOP party bosses are too afraid to face down whatever criticism it might generate. The voters are mad as hell, and surely seem prepared to not take the GOPe bullstuff any more.

I've had similar thoughts: for example, that Trump's actions have a "tactical" character to them--basically, that he knows what he's doing.
In other words, there is a speck of truth in Alison Howard's comments quoted there, but the "social mores" being broken aren't really what she presents. I wonder how much of this supposed "Trump anxiety" is actually unconscious concern or even veiled anger that the real versions of those mores are increasingly exposed.
