When the DOJ (under President Nixon) sued him in 1973, saying he violated the Fair Housing Act by refusing to lease to black tenants— you said “he’s not racist”… When he had his black employees removed from his casino floors while he was present in the 80s— you said “he’s not racist”… When he took out a full page ad in the NYT/NYDN/NYP/NYND newspapers in 1989, to call for the death penalty against the 4 black & 1 latino kids known as the ‘Central Park Five’ (who were exonerated)— you said “he’s not racist”… When he was quoted in John O’Donnell’s 1991 book saying “Black guys counting my money! I hate it… I think that the [black] 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”— you said “he’s not racist”… When he had to pay a $200K fine in 1992 for kicking black dealers off tables at the Trump Plaza & Hotel Casino to accommodate high rollers— you said “he’s not racist”… When he confirmed, in 1997, “the stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true”— you said “he’s not racist”… When he publicly pitched (2005) that his show ‘The Apprentice’ should do a season of blacks vs whites— you said “he’s not racist”… When he started to slander and libel President Obama’s U.S. citizenship status in 2011, repeatedly, because his middle name is “Hussein”— you said “he’s not racist”… When David Duke (infamous leader of the KKK) endorsed him for President in 2015, and he failed to decry the infamously vile white supremacist’s support— you said “he’s not racist”… When he has repeatedly harassed, disparaged, and publicly admonished the likes of the Obama’s & their children, Kamala Harris, the late John Lewis, and many other black political leaders— you said “he’s not racist”… ———— He has 5+ decades of being racist PUBLICLY and you still refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump is and always has been a racist. Him posting an Ai generated video depicting Michelle & Barack Obama as apes (a repugnant racial trope, that is as old as this country itself, used to disparage black Americans) on HIS SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT, is yet another example of why he is the embodiment of “when someone shows you who they are, believe them” This isn’t debatable. He is despicable. He has zero class as a human being. And you’re just as disgusting as him if you try to gaslight us into believing his abhorrent post was anything other than what he meant it to be: a racist depiction of a former POTUS/First Lady.
