@maria610421 Then there is the racism... Fred Trump appears to have been arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1927; Woody Guthrie, who lived in a Trump property in the 1950s, lambasted Fred Trump in recently discovered papers for stirring racial hatred.
You can easily google that... People see these things and wonder... what the hell?? Reading these types of things, makes people wonder.
Also many people have looked up Trumps involvement in 1973, when President Richard Nixon’s Justice Department — not exactly the radicals of the day — sued Trump and his father, Fred Trump, for systematically discriminating against blacks in housing rentals.
I’ve waded through 1,021 pages of documents from that legal battle, and they are devastating. Donald Trump was then president of the family real estate firm, and the government amassed overwhelming evidence that the company had a policy of discriminating against blacks, including those serving in the military.
To prove the discrimination, blacks were repeatedly dispatched as testers to Trump apartment buildings to inquire about vacancies, and white testers were sent soon after. Repeatedly, the black person was told that nothing was available, while the white tester was shown apartments for immediate rental.
A former building superintendent working for the Trumps explained that he was told to code any application by a black person with the letter C, for colored, apparently so the office would know to reject it. And also "No.9" for Puerto Ricans. A Trump rental agent said the Trumps wanted to rent only to “Jews and executives,” and discouraged renting to blacks.
All this documentation of the court case you can find online, it was released by the FBI. It took 10 years for Trump to comply with the government, but he eventually did, as long as he would admit no wrong doing. At that point the government didn't care, as long as he stopped discriminating.
As Trump moved into casinos, discrimination followed. In the 1980s, according to a former Trump casino worker, Kip Brown, who was quoted by The New Yorker: "When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor…"
He went on: "It was the eighties, I was a teen-ager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back."
So these claims are coming from many different independent sources, and when people see and read this type of stuff, it makes them very suspicious.
In 1991, a book by John O’Donnell, who had been president of the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, quoted Trump as criticizing a black accountant and saying: "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 think that 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."
O’Donnell wrote that for months afterward, Trump pressed him to fire the black accountant, until the man resigned of his own accord.
In 1992: The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 fine because it transferred black and women dealers off tables to accommodate a big-time gambler’s prejudices.
I think people know racism when they see it. This whole protesting is not only centered around bad cops, but also Trump's racism
But that's not all This has continued on, through the decades and people read about this stuff.
Half of congress believes he is racist. There are a record 56 African American Members in Congress 52 of the African American House Members, are democrats and one is a Republican.
Then there is the racism... Fred Trump appears to have been arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1927; Woody Guthrie, who lived in a Trump property in the 1950s, lambasted Fred Trump in recently discovered papers for stirring racial hatred.

House Speaker Paul Ryan claimed: Trump made "textbook definition of a racist comment"
Paul Ryan delivered a harsh rebuke of the recent comments made by presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump about an Indiana-born judge with Mexican heritage who is presiding over a lawsuit about Trump University. Ryan said he "disavows" Trump's comments and that they are "the textbook definition of a racist comment."
This is about the resolution Congress passed about Trump's racist tweets.
What was their resolution? That comments made by Trump about 4 congress women are racist and strongly condemned. Whether he's racist or not, racists feel empowered by what he says. there's growing numbers of neo nazis in the west and they feel empowered by this guy. And Trump doesn't condemn them, so it gives credibility to the racism.
So putting aside evidence that Trump is racist or not, at minimum if he doesn't condemn these racist groups, then this makes them feel empowered and they go out and do racist things.
Groups like Proud Boys who are linked to Roger Stone (Trumps campaign manager who was convicted in the Mueller Probe) he uses these groups for security at times, and these groups are taking part in the protests. (white nationalists) 3 percent (armed militia) Patriot Prayer are all involved in these protests on some level.
When people see these types of groups and don't see Trump condemning them, they get very mad
Trump claimed he didn't hear the term "white power" in one of the videos he posted with Trump supporters.. If that's the case, then stop posting videos that you don't really listen to.
51% or more in the USA consider him racist. So if half the people think you are racist, then this is not a good thing for a president.
Trump knows how people view he's racist, so he should just stop. Trump’s push to amplify racism unnerves Republicans who have long enabled him. President Trump’s unyielding push to preserve Confederate symbols and the legacy of white domination, crystallized by his harsh denunciation of the racial justice movement Friday night at Mount Rushmore, has unnerved Republicans who have long enabled him but now fear losing power and forever associating their party with his racial animus.
When you start to even push Republicans away, Trump is getting way out of line.Most of congress wanted to label Trumps twitter posts as racist.
235 Democrats voted Trump's posts are racist, including all the black Congressmen. 4 Republicans voted Trump was sending racist tweets. So 239 Congressmen voted Trump was sending racist tweets, that is more then half and included Republican congressmen. 1 independent also voted Trump was sending racist tweets. So 240 in all. 99% of republicans voted against it.
The vote was 240 to 187. If more then half the people in Congress vote that you are sending racist tweets, well then guess what? You are probably sending racist tweets.
