Is Donald Trump a bigot?

Some people may love Donald Trump, the potential Republican nominee for the US President, but others call him a bigot and a racist. (Update: Donald Trump went on to become the President of the US.

It is not surprising that he is a businessman because not only is he smart and shrewd, he is aggressive, ambitious, and quite the go-getter. Other hand features show some not-so-desirable characteristics. His thumb is supple and conic, with a strong first phalange, and the heartline is a little too strong.

Donald Trump’s hands do not show him to be a narrow-minded bigot. On the contrary, his hands show
