You cannot call him a murderer or even pro-murder. He’s selfish, shitty, immoral.
A good analogy would be an investor in opioid manufacturers, or cigarette makers. They aren’t pushers. But they aren’t acting in a decent manner, either.
And it gets more complicated with politics. A number of truly sincere people place other issues, like abortion or trade policy (bringing jobs back) above racism and sexism.* So to them, voting for Trump is not only morally preferable, but morally required.

*ETA: These people are deeply misguided, but if you’ve met pro-lifers or bring urn jobs back folks, you know, they’re earnest and believe their causes are most important.
