It is called a straw man. Only Block would tie both together. Trump is a racist. Which is completely different from another problem he has - he promotes hate of immigrants. Those are two separate issues once we ignore Block's spin.

Even Block's family speaks out against him.

Maybe hate of immigrants he can't make a buck off, but I wonder how much is pandering to his base?

That is his long history. He throws shit against the wall. Then parrots anything that sticks. All part of promoting Trump; not America. So his delivery to organizations (ie Boy Scouts, NRA) sounds like campaign speeches promoting his personal successes. And how others are evil. He is not cerebral like a leader. He grovels to the emotions of his audience.

He has no interest in promoting American trade and industry. He discovered support from many who can be goaded into destruction of trade as if that is good. Since that shit sticks to the wall.
