He refused to rent to black tenants in NY... (was sued twice)


His hotel in NJ was sued in 1992 for racial discrimination because he would have black card dealers removed from the floor when certain high rollers came in at their request.


"And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”


He was sued again in 1996 for refusing to hire blacks to his casino on Lake Michigan.


Every time he mentions a minority group he labels them as "the" hispanics, or "the" blacks, or "the" Asians, etc....




Look, I hate that he is doing it because I believe we need someone not afraid to speak out against those currently in power and hope that he will at least right a couple of foul policies in place if he can and I absolutely believe undocumented illegal immigrants need to be deported but he is doing it at the expense of further segregating our country. It's the way he is going about his speeches that bothers me, not (most) of the ideals behind them.

Yeah, it means you have a lot of money and deal with a lot of people who want to take as much as they possibly can.


There really is no down side to making a false accusation in this case since most people in Trump's position will settle in exchange for you not continuing to slander him in the media.


Even if you get nothing, your lawyer is probably pro bono, so it's a no brainer for the prone to sue set.

OP appears to be a hit-and-run troll. Starts a thread and then is too chicken to defend it.

For the past 10 days Republican after Republican after Republican have spoken out against his comments. Or did you just conveniently miss that.
Is this news ? the Republicans have hated him since day one and will continue to do so . His outspokenness resonates with the country for he would have not come this far .

Defend it? Defend what? Most of the statements I've seen are run-of-the-mill. I already said I'm not a Trump supporter, I was simply stating my observations.

You are absolutely right, but it is too late at this point, thanks to technologies that preserve prior statements. They can loop his controversial statements for hours in commercials.

Outspokenness relates to a lack of restraint. It's not a communication that's thought through or necessarily based on facts. It's just an impulse to go from what's rattling around in your brain to out your mouth. It belongs maybe among friends or in certain other casual situations, but not in a situation where you need more factual information and thinking that through for a response that resembles anything else but ignorance.

Well said and this is what is meant when we say that Trump isn't presidential.

For the one that "rep'd" me saying I don't know Donald Trump and to read his book. I already have. Clinton is a proven liability and there is NO WAY that I would vote to put that WHITE TRASH back in the WHITE HOUSE! I know the sociopath Clinton too well to be fooled into voting for her.

I know that Hillary Clinton is everything that Trump says about her and more. Trump with his "outspokenness" will get it all out there too! It's supposed to be a long, hot summer for Hillary, and I'm not just talking about her needing dress shields for that coaty thing with a neckline up to her lip either!

My thread: https://www.city-data.com/forum/elect...ary-worse.html

I don't need advice from anyone on Trump or who I should vote for. I first voted in 1972 and have been making my own decisions since that time!

And, Elizabeth Warren? Another winner, NOT! Trump has it down:

http://humanevents.com/2015/01/09/el...ything-part-i/ and http://humanevents.com/2015/01/12/el...thing-part-ii/

Let's face it, if people didn't give Trump so much "ammunition", there would be nothing to be outspoken about.

Trump 2016 for the win! Seriously, telling me that I don't know Trump. Again, whatever Trump is or has done, Hillary is and has done MUCH worse!

Where is "barking" on your mythical scale?
