Interesting interview with "hitler."
Been in the public eye for 40 years and the first time we heard anything of racism was about 5 minutes after that ride down the escalator.
So those times Trump was charged with racial discrimination in those federal charges they filed back in the 1970's for refusing to rent apartments to blacks must have completely slipped his mind.
Was he refusing to rent to blacks persae or was he refusing to rent to welfare recipients or poor folks because of their track record or habbits of destroying their dwellings in which has gone on to this very day ?????
That's easy. They were refusing to rent to blacks per se. That was already proven forty-plus years ago.
>> A former Trump superintendent named Thomas Miranda testified that multiple Trump Management employees had instructed him to attach a separate piece of paper with a big letter “C” on it — for “colored” — to any application filed by a black apartment-seeker.
{case history: Mae Wiggins and Maxine Brown}
.... A 33-year-old nurse who was living at the Y.W.C.A. in Harlem, she had come to rent a one-bedroom at the still-unfinished Wilshire Apartments in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood of Queens. She filled out what the rental agent remembers as a “beautiful application.” She did not even want to look at the unit.
There was just one hitch: Maxine Brown was black.
Stanley Leibowitz, the rental agent, talked to his boss, Fred C. Trump.
“I asked him what to do and he says, ‘Take the application and put it in a drawer and leave it there,’” Mr. Leibowitz, now 88, recalled in an interview.
Rump made it clear that he shared the attitude personally:{case history: Mae Wiggins and Maxine Brown}

... In 1969, a young black couple, Haywood and Rennell Cash, sued after being denied a home in Cincinnati at one of the first projects in which Donald Trump, fresh out of college, played an active role.
Mr. Cash was repeatedly rejected by the Trumps’ rental agent, according to court records and notes kept by Housing Opportunities Made Equal of Cincinnati, which sent in white testers posing as a young couple while Mr. Cash waited in the car.
After the agent, Irving Wolper, offered the testers an apartment, they brought in Mr. Cash. Mr. Wolper grew furious, shoving them out of the office and calling the young female tester, Maggie Durham, a “******-lover,” according to court records. “To this day I have not forgotten the fury in his voice and in his face,” Ms. Durham recalled recently, adding that she also remembered him calling her a “traitor to the race.”
.... At a campaign stop in Ohio recently, Mr. Trump shared warm memories of his time in Cincinnati, calling it one of the early successes of his career. And in “The Art of the Deal,” he praised Mr. Wolper, without using his surname, calling him a “fabulous man” and “an amazing manager.”

>> A few years later, the government accused the Trumps of violating the consent decree. “We believe that an underlying pattern of discrimination continues to exist in the Trump Management organization,” a Justice Department lawyer wrote to Mr. Cohn in 1978.
Once again, the government marshaled numerous examples of blacks being denied Trump apartments. But this time, it also identified a pattern of racial steering.
While more black families were now renting in Trump-owned buildings, the government said, many had been confined to a small number of complexes. And tenants in some of these buildings had complained about the conditions, from falling plaster to rusty light fixtures to bloodstained floors. <<

So there you are --- motives, means and opportunity. It's all here. And this has been out there for decades available for anyone who wanted to know. You're welcome. As explained thoroughly in the link, Rump's attitude was, rather than do the right thing, to resist, defame, obstruct, whine and then declare victory after capitulating --- and then to renege on the agreement he went into screaming and kicking and whining. As always he thinks he can just make his own rules. Read it and weep for this is your "Daddy" you've been drooling over.
The Cliff's Notes for all the above could read:
"Black people renting my apartments --- I hate it".
Do you deny that there has been a serious problem over time of welfare recipients and/or poor people destroying property that they occupied either in a low rent situation or as a government subsidized renter ????
If you act as if there hasn't been a serious problem over time of poor folks destroying the properties they were allowed to rent or worse not paying their rent, and the owner catching pure hell on evicting them, then you aren't being honest. If wanted to, the liberals could claim that all low rent housing owners are racist etc. All they gotta do is show up with camera's blazing as a poor family is being evicted, and start with the fake storyline that the owner was throwing them out for no reason at all or that he was just a racist etc. Never mind that these people might have destroyed their apt or caused trouble in the community etc. No, because the mere fact that they are a victimized beat down by the system family, who are living in a poor situation automatically makes them right, and the real estate owner the bad guy or gal everytime.
No accountability is the problem, and this goes for all involved.
You just got your great big steaming plate of accountability served above, after awarding yourself your own answer to a question that didn't go your way. All of this section is completely irrelevant.
