According to investigations, Trump’s rental applications were secretly marked with the applicant’s race, and doormen were coached to discourage Black people from renting.
In 1983, the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal investigated some of Trump’s properties and found they were 95 percent White.
When Trump got into the casino business in the 1980s, the managers would order Black workers into the back rooms when Trump visited so he wouldn’t have to see them. Trump reportedly couldn’t stand having Black accountants because, quote: “laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”
On the other hand, Trump stated that Jews were good at counting money. In 1992 The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino had to pay a $200,000 fine because it transferred Black (and female) dealers off of tables to accommodate a big-time (and mob connected) gambler’s prejudices.
During the 1989 Central Park 5 case, Trump called for the death penalty for five Black and Latino teenagers (aged 14 to 16) who were falsely accused of rape.
