The Official Donald Trump inauguration thread

What has he said that's racist? Be specific and use your own words.

2. ‘I’m a negotiator like you folks’

The previous week, Trump addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition on Dec. 3, calling himself “a negotiator like you folks,” one of many Jewish stereotypes the Manhattan real-estate mogul dropped throughout his speech.

“Is there anyone in this room who doesn’t negotiate deals?” he joked. “Probably more than any room I’ve ever spoken.” He also generated some boos for not answering whether he would support moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from its current location in Tel Aviv.

3. ‘the blacks’

“I have a great relationship with the blacks. I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks,” Trump told Albany’s Talk 1300 in April 2011 as he mulled a run for the presidency at that time, which he did not ultimately pursue.

5. ‘Laziness is a trait in blacks’

“I have black guys counting my money. … I hate it,” Trump told John R. O’Donnell, the former president of Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino, according O’Donnell’s account in his 1991 book “Trumped!” “The only guys I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes all day.”

Trump, according to O’Donnell, went on to say, “‘Laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that.”

In an interview with Playboy in 1999, Trump remarked that “[t]he stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true. The guy’s a f—-g loser. A f—-g loser. I brought the guy in to work for me; it turns out he didn’t know that much about what he was doing. I think I met the guy two or three times total. And this guy goes off and writes a book about me, like he knows me!”

10. ‘the Japs’

Speaking to Time magazine for a profile published in January 1989, Trump was asked to give an estimate of his total wealth.

“Who the f knows? I mean, really, who knows how much the Japs will pay for Manhattan property these days?” he asked in response, using a racial slur for the Japanese.

I suppose that is just the racist stuff.

We could go on to the misogynistic stuff too, I guess.

That Trump quote reminds me of an old joke

Q) Why does Mexico suck at the olympics?

A) Because everyone that can run, jump, or swim is already in the US

You had to go back 25 years to find some "racist" remarks. Kudos.

Long string of .

This is just what we know about.

Seems like a pretty consistent pattern. The fact it goes back so far is even more damning.

Sorry but I don't find that racist, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Jewish crowd laughed.

[RandomGuy]

Trump himself said O'Donnel was probably correct in his recollection.

Sorry.

Dude, doubling down on stupid, isn't something to "lol" about.

Do you truly believe Donald Trump is a racist?

[clambake]

i don't think he's any more racist than the rest of us.

[RandomGuy]

Do you truly believe Donald Trump is a racist?

I think so, yes.

Probably not as much as no small number of his followers though.

Hard to avoid some racism, given the guys age. He grew up at a time when such at udes were far more in the mainstream, and I would count my own father in that group.

I don't think he is a true racist. When I was younger my grandpa used to refer to "the blacks", and he was Lutheran pastor who was absolutely not a racist in any sense. Times were different back then, and your quotes from Trump come from that time. Nothing you've found from recent quotes is racist, in my opinion.

LOL "recent quotes"

Nice hedge.

"He used to be racist, but he's obviously all better now."??

Is that what you are going with?

Don't have to reach far.
