The first time the president’s name appeared on the front page of the New York Times was more than 40 years ago. “Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City,” read the headline of the A1 piece on Oct. 16, 1973<\/strong>, which pointed out how Richard Nixon’s Department of Justice had sued the Trump family’s real estate company in federal court over alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act.<\/p>\n

Over the next four decades: he was accused of ordering “all the black employees off the floor”<\/a> of his Atlantic City casinos during his visits; claimed “laziness is a trait in blacks”<\/a> and “not anything they can control”; requested Jews “in yarmulkes”<\/a> replace his black accountants; told<\/a> Bryan Gumbel that “a well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market”; demanded the death penalty<\/a> for a group of black and Latino teenagers accused of raping a jogger in Central Park (and, despite their later exoneration with the use of DNA evidence<\/a>, has continued to insist<\/a> they are guilty); suggested a Native American tribe “don’t look like Indians to me”<\/a>; mocked Chinese and Japanese trade negotiators by doing an impression of them in broken English<\/a>; described undocumented Mexican immigrants as “rapists”<\/a>; compared Syrian refugees to “snakes”<\/a>; defended two supporters who assaulted a homeless Latino man as “very passionate”<\/a> people “who love this country”; pledged to ban<\/a> a quarter of humanity from entering the United States; proposed a database<\/a> to track American Muslims that he himself refused to distinguish<\/a> from the Nazi registration of German Jews; implied Jewish donors “want to control”<\/a> politicians and are all sly negotiators<\/a>; heaped praise on the “amazing reputation”<\/a> of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has blamed America’s problems on a “Jewish mafia”<\/a>; referred to a black supporter at a campaign rally as “my African-American”<\/a>; suggested the grieving Muslim mother of a slain U.S. army officer “maybe \u2026 wasn’t allowed”<\/a> to speak in public about her son; accused an American-born Hispanic judge of being “a Mexican<\/a>“; retweeted anti-Semitic<\/a> and anti-black<\/a> memes, white supremacists<\/a>, and even a quote from Benito Mussolini<\/a>; kept a book of Hitler’s collected speeches<\/a> next to his bed; declined to condemn<\/a> both David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan; and spent five years leading a “birther” movement<\/a> that was bent on smearing<\/a> and delegitimizing<\/a> the first black president of the United States, who Trump also accused<\/a> of being the founder of ISIS.<\/p>\n
