I dispute your attempt to conflate protests against Trump's ban on entry with an indictment of middle America. People who support the ban do so for a variety of reasons and are not neatly grouped in the political center as you suggest, just as people who oppose the ban do so for a variety of reasons and can not be neatly grouped on the left.

it may not matter if it seems like they're calling middle America racist

It's true that promoting such a perception would benefit the Trump administration, but as I always say to people seeking to capture some ideological territory, 'you don't speak for the American people.' At present the administration is rather overdrawn at the credibility bank.
