I don't know. Perhaps who lacks principle, other than doing and saying things that bring him short term praise and support? The anecdotal evidence your friends have provided you that he is in fact, not a racist, to the contrary, all Americans, and especially those perceived as outsiders, need to worry what he will give voice to in an attempt to "win", whatever the heck that means.
The guys you have talked to who vouch for his purity, most, if not all, I would guess were involved in dealings with him or his organization that benefited themselves financially. They aren't always the best source, DUCY? No matter how many ringing endorsements he has received from lawyers, pit bosses, dealers, marketing guys, the fact that he has used some of the most virulent racists in America to achieve his political goals should give you pause.
On a practical level, one's personal attitudes matter little in comparison to their actions. LBJ was a racist his entire life, on no morning did he wake up and feel even remotely equal to a black person. Yet he passed the Civil Rights Act and ushered in the Great Society, improving the lives of minorities for generations. He did it to buttress his political power. Do you doubt a truly non racist could do the opposite, if he felt it would benefit himself?
I also find it strange that a Jewish guy of your age and education would call attention to the fact that he is non practicing, and the mezuzah was put up by your "convert" girlfriend. To real white nationalists, all of whom support DT, you are the Jew, no matter what you "believe". You could go to Baptist Church every Sunday for the rest of your life, and they would still view you as a subversive outsider. On the other hand, your friend would be just fine, and could slip back in to her birth "group" with no fear of being labeled Jewish by the hard right.
Go into the comment pages on Breitbart and post your original post there. About what happened, just days after the election, and your response to it, 5k and all. See how the most vocal supporters of your assuredly non anti Semite President Elect react. That's the nose of the camel we have let into the tent.
