This is neither news nor "doubling down". "Racist" as used in real-world Newspeak (which contrary to Orwell's fictional language destroys language not by narrowing the meaning of words, but by making words cease to have fixed meanings) can mean any of (1) its meaning in English, (2) a person who takes a political stance the left fancies harms racial or ethnic minorities, whether or not there is any rational basis for the left's view on the matter, (3) a non-Muslim who accurately reports aspects of Islamic doctrine or Sharia law that the left finds embarassing, or (4) a white person without regard to his or her views on anything. It is beyond a doubt that Trump satisfies (2) and (4). Of course the point of this multiplication of meanings is to attach the opprobrium with which most civilized persons view those satisfying the English definition to anyone the left tars with the word on the basis of the other meanings.
