This doesn't jibe with the image of the administration painted by the MSM of being racist. 
Ah, but you are thinking of "racist" as an English word. When the MSM or the Democrats (but I repeat myself) use the word "racist" it is real-world Newspeak, which works differently from Orwell's prophecy of language being corrupted to serve a totalitarian political agenda. Instead of narrowing the meanings of word so that only thoughts approved by the Party can be expressed, the real-world version attaches extra meanings to them so that the emotional valence of the standard English meaning will be invoked by the expanded meaning. "Racist" in Newspeak can denote a person who thinks people of another race are inferior or should be treated differently as a matter of law and custom (the standard English meaning, which is generally disapproved of), or a person of European ancestry, or a person who raises objection to a program the Left fancies will benefit racial or ethnic minorities (even if the objection is that it will actually harm them), or (in Europe) a person who has noticed that every fiqh of Islamic sharia is deeply illiberal and concluded that mass immigration of Muslims is undesirable.
Thus, since the Trump administration objects to many programs the Left fancies benefit racial minorities (everything under the umbrella of DEI), and it largely composed of people of European ancestry, it is "racist" and you are supposed to feel the same way about it as you would about someone advocating the reimposition of Jim Crow or "sundown laws".
