I have NEVER seen that clip before. It might have been more useful sometime before last Tuesday, but off to facebook and twitter it goes!

Still, this might have taken some attention away from the FBI letter about the emails.

He has said a lot of discriminatory things, and if his followers were not impressed, why would this make any difference? He has said so many things that should have normally got him disqualified as someone running for the highest office in the land, and look what happened... the bastard still won.

Two former Trump employees, a husband and wife who rented properties, were quoted in court documents as saying they were told that the company wanted to rent only to “Jews and Executives” and “discouraged rental to blacks.” The couple told the government’s lawyers that they were advised that “a racial code was in effect, blacks being referred to as ‘No. 9.’ ”

The legal team went after the claims that Trump employees used coded language to refer to minorities. This case had originated in part from one employee, who told the government that he was instructed to mark rental applications from blacks with the letter “C” for “colored,” and that “he did this every time a black person applied for an apartment,” according to an affidavit from Goldweber. The employee said he didn’t want to be identified in the case because “he was afraid that the Trumps would have him ‘knocked off,’ or words to that effect, because he told me about their allegedly discriminatory practices,” according to the affidavit.

And, given his father's extensive involvement in racist marches, he's probably been racist his entire life.

Whether they pass your look test.'

And now he's the President.

And sovereign rights for Indian Nations? He was attacking those from some phony reverse discrimination angle.
