The difference is that it is coming out of the mouth of the candidate and publicly egged on by the candidate, not the craven strategy of an underling.
This is the first time since George Wallace that a candidate has been so open about disliking non-whites, and in fact if you read a Wallace speech, it is eerily similar to Trump. Same isolationist, protectionist, anti-immigrant themes, same re-claiming of America -- except Wallace had a much better command of the world and the english language. Trump is a dumbed-down Wallace, essentially. Wallace's voting base was the same as the cult Sando joined: uneducated, poor, white, and mad at minorities. Wallace was equally delusional, gave a very late speech in Madison Square Garden having been convinced he could win the state.
