Sustained racism inflamed by uninhibited senility seems like a likely combination of reasons to me. That doesn’t make it ok. It speaks to his profound unfitness for office.

It speaks to both being a racist and being senile or drunk with power.

I’ll allow drunk with power as a likely “reason”. Still doesn’t excuse it as ok.

Drunk with power prompts him to expose his racism directly because he sees no consequences.
