Nah, I don’t like you either, homie. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1273634152433188865
In 1973 trump was sued by Nixon admin. It was based on an investigation that found four different Trump employees confirming that applicants for leases were screened by race. One rental agent said Trump’s father had told him not to rent to blacks.
At the time “welfare” and “African Americans” interchangeably and it was a well-established hallmark of dog-whistle politics, which allowed speakers to appeal to racist beliefs without using openly racist terms. Trump didn’t want welfare recipients.
In 1988 the president of trump plaza and hotel, O’Donnell said that trump invited him to lunch in New York. fired a Senior manager who was a black. and trump found it funny “I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it.“ 1/2
Trump follows up with “The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. “Besides that, I think the guy is lazy, and it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. It’s not anything they can control.”
In 1989, Trump paid a total of $85,000 ad arguing about using the death penalty on black kids who were wrongly accused for a raping and beating a jogger at Central Park. He has not apologized.
Trump said in an interview “They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crime” but he has yet to say the kkk/alt-right is a terrorizing hate group, has yet to say there’s bad police officers who kills wrongfully and unlawfully.
He does all of this in his last and still has the balls to say openly, “I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks. Oh, look at MY African American over here. Look at him.” Like he owns a black man. Smh.
