OwnerOfMany It goes back to the days when he and his father were being sued for refusing to rent properties to blacks in the 70s, his policies of having only white employees work with some of his wealthiest clients in Atlantic City, various comments that he’s made, like about not wanting blacks to handle his money (when a black accountant came to one of his businesses). Taking out a full page ad in the New York Times saying that the black and Latino men accused of assaulting the Central Park Jogger “deserved to be lynched”. When DNA exonerated them, after they’d served several years in prison, Trump suggested they remain imprisoned, saying “if they didn’t participate in that, they probably did other things”. Things he has said (and continues to say) about his predecessor. Times when he’s said he wants “more European immigrants”, including the 2018 comment about excluding people from “sh*thole countries” on the African continent, Haiti and El Salvador. He once said about Nigerians, “if they come here, they won’t want to go back to their huts”. Then there’s what he
hasn’t said, never definitively denouncing or condemning white supremacists in any serious way. He’s even said, in the face of increasing hate crimes that “‘white supremacy’ isn't a big problem here”. And I’m certain to him and many of his supporters it’s
not, they’re fine with it. But one way one knows, is that white supremacists believe he speaks for them, and have said so.
