Can I get in trouble for this?
President Donald Trump commented on a tweet "successful black people are offensive" and there was only one like, no comments. I replied to it "I mean I support the anthem but that's kinda racist". I was actually really scared and I deleted it. I'm a trump supporter for God's sake but I literally felt like if I called him racist I'd be in trouble. Can I get in trouble for it? If not I'll put it back but can I?

What happened to your 'FREE SPEECH'? Are you saying that criticizing your President is liable to have you punished in some way? I'm British and I am totally free to criticize my Prime Minister and even the Queen if they say or do something that attacks certain members of society. Not that they ever would, because in Britain we have the common sense to keep any dark thoughts of a racial nature to ourselves. We understand how to be culturally diplomatic and act with dignity. What a pity that does not appear to be the case in American culture. .

You can't really get in trouble for calling even the president what he makes himself out to be by making such comments. I don't argue that he said that but it is shocking that the official Trump twitter would post a blatantly racist comment like that. It truly is racist.
While you can not actually get in trouble for calling him a racist he is the President of the United States of America. It's probably not a good idea to piss him off.
