  1. Jack O’Donnell is the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino. O'Donnell: "Sometimes his petty prejudices begat very public tirades. One day, he flew into a rage over a limousine driver who arrived to pick him up wearing gray shoes, soiling his image by “looking like a f------ Puerto Rican.” In 1988, shortly after I was promoted to president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, he invited me up to New York for lunch. There was a lot to talk over one issue in particular: one of our senior managers, who happened to be African-American. Donald considered him incompetent and wanted him fired. When I acknowledged some shortcomings in the man’s performance, he instantly became enthused. “Yeah, I never liked the guy,” he said. “And isn’t it funny, I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” I was mortified. We were in a restaurant in Trump Tower. I worried he’d be overheard. But he went on, “Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else: I think the guy is lazy, and it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.” Trump is actually offended that anyone would even suggest that he's NOT a racist. Notice how he never seems to be offended by being called a racist. Whenever he makes racist comments, he doesn't take them back, he doubles down on them. Trump's racist comments over the years have received praise from neo-nazis and white supremacist leaders like David Duke. Trump: "Jeb Bush has to like the Mexican illegals because of his wife." Jeb Bush’s wife is Mexican - American During the campaign, Trump impugned the character of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, a native-born American, hailing from Indiana, who was hearing a class action case against Trump's now-discredited fake Trump University. "He's a Mexican," Trump said to CNN of Curiel. "We're building a wall between here and Mexico. The answer is, he is giving us very unfair rulings — rulings that people can't even believe." Claiming a person can't do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment. It's the type of comment that only a racist would applaud..

  2. Anyone that has known Trump, or anyone that has done their homework on Trump,  knows that the question of whether or not he's a r.a.c..is.t, isn't even up for debate. Trump is at LEAST a r.a.c.i.s.t,  but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Instances of big,otry involving Trump span more than four decades. Trump was twice sued by the federal government for refusing to rent apartments to black people. The Justice Department’s 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in NYC. The government proved that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents. In the early 1990s, Trump attempted to block the building of new casinos in Connecticut and NY that could cut into his casino operations in Atlantic City. In October 1993, Trump appeared before the House Subcommittee on Native American Affairs of the Committee on Natural Resources. The subcommittee was chaired by Bill Richardson. Trump was there to support an effort to modify legislation that had given Native American tribes the right to own and operate casinos. George Miller from California and the chair of the Committee on Natural Resources, was also present. Tadd Johnson, of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe, Bois Forte Band, served as the Democratic counsel on the subcommittee. Rick Hill is a former chair of the National Indian Gaming Association and of the Oneida Tribe in Wisconsin. Pat Williams was a member of Congress from Montana. BILL RICHARDSON: "He said he didn’t think that Native Americans deserved the legislation, because there was a lot of corruption around Native American casinos. I remember asking him after the hearing, “Well, what’s the evidence?” He said, “The FBI has it.” I said, “You’re making the accusation; why don’t you bring the evidence?” He said, “No, you should ask the FBI.” I said, “You’re making the charge of corruption and you’re not backing it up—that is unacceptable.” TADD JOHNSON: "Trump was wearing pancake makeup, which I hadn’t seen before, at least not on somebody testifying in Congress. He was very evasive, and he made all these allegations about organized-crime activity but could produce no single incident, no tangible evidence, nobody we could talk to. A lot of what he was saying were just fabrications." BILL RICHARDSON: "The second allegation he made that was very disturbing at that hearing was to examine some Native American tribes’ application as Indian tribes—they were trying to get the subcommittee to basically declare their tribes or their group of individuals Native Americans. Trump mentioned Native Americans who had recently opened casinos and said to George Miller, “They don’t look like Indians to me.” He said that. It was so outrageous." RICK HILL: "Miller challenged him. He said, “You know how racist what you’re saying is? How racist that is to judge people by what we think they look like and ignore their inherent rights as a person?” PAT WILLIAMS: "I was stunned by the openness of Trump’s anger toward anyone who would compete with him—and particularly if they were people of color." TADD JOHNSON: "I remember watching the faces of the Native American people in the back. There were some tribal elders who had come in from Minnesota, and were giving looks that could ki//."
