#Trump doesn't like Black folks counting his money or holding him accountable. But today he finds out.

Trump employees have secretly marked the applications of
minorities with codes, such as `No. 9' and `C' for colored. .

The employees allegedly directed blacks and Puerto Ricans
away from buildings with mostly white tenants and steered
them toward properties that had many minorities.

In the 1980s, Trump took his racism to Atlantic City. This is Donald
Trump at his best.

He cheated, coerced, filed bankruptcy, did anything
he could to cheat people out of money. In the process, his racism came
to the forefront in Atlantic City.

Trump was accused of making his
African-American employees move off the casino floor when he didn't
want to see them, which was any time he came to the casino.

One
employee, Kip Brown, said:

When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would
order all the black people off the floor. It was the
eighties, I was a teenager, but I remember it: they put us
all in the back.

Trump was later fined $200,000 by the New Jersey Casino Control
Commission for that act of disgusting racism.
In the 1990s, John O'Donnell, the former president of Trump Plaza
Hotel and Casino, wrote a book about his time working with Donald
Trump.

O'Donnell reported that Trump frequently denigrated African
Americans. He remembers a lot, but he specifically remembers Trump
saying of his accountants:

I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza.
Black guys counting my money! I hate it.

The only kind of
people I want counting my money are short guys that wear
yarmulkes every day.

How about that?

I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza.
Black guys counting my money! I hate it.

Those are words from Donald Trump's mouth.

That is what he said.
Speaking of another African-American employee, Trump told O'Donnell:

I think the guy is lazy.

And it's probably not his fault
because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is. I
believe that.

[[Page S6074]]

That is Donald Trump. He thinks that Blacks are lazy and that they
can't help it because it is one of their traits. Trump didn't deny it.
