Jack O’Donnell is author of the memoir "Trumped!" The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump His Cunning Rise and Spectacular Fall. 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" Trump said.
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. And It's the type of comment that only a racist would applaud..
