DLM when is the last time you saw a journalist on CNN or MSNBC, NBC, or CBS and ABC? You wouldn't know a journalist if one hit your in the head. Fake News is nothing but a pack of Democat hacks

and chief at work-
Just before signing into law a permanent extension of the 9/11 victims compensation fund on Monday, President Trump jokingly told the 9/11 first responders in attendance that they shouldn't worry if the Rose Garden stage collapsed underneath them because they wouldn't fall "very far."

Question: Ain't the media/press supposed to cover what Presidents, politicians, and other celebrities do, and say, anyway? Correct response: Yes, they are; translation: They're just doing their jobs; hence, Hairpiece has no grounds to gripe/grump.

In 1993, when Trump wanted to open a casino in Bridgeport, Connecticut, that would compete with one owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Nation, a local Native American tribe, he told the House subcommittee on Native American Affairs that "they don't look like Indians to me... They don't look like Indians to Indians."

Workers at Trump's casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey, have accused him of racism over the years. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission fined the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino $200,000 in 1992 because managers would remove African-American card dealers at the request of a certain big-spending gambler. A state appeals court upheld the fine.

The first-person account of at least one black Trump casino employee in Atlantic City suggests the racist practices were consistent with Trump's personal behavior toward black workers.

"When Donald and Ivana came to the casino, the bosses would order all the black people off the floor," Kip Brown, a former employee at Trump's Castle, told the New Yorker for a September article. "It was the eighties, I was a teen-ager, but I remember it: they put us all in the back."

Trump disparaged his black casino employees as "lazy" in vividly bigoted terms, according to a 1991 book by John O'Donnell, a former president of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino.

"And isn't it funny. I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it," O'Donnell recalled Trump saying. "The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day."

"I think the guy is lazy," Trump said of a black employee, according to O'Donnell. "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."

Trump has also faced charges of reneging on commitments to hire black people. In 1996, 20 African Americans in Indiana sued Trump for failing to honor a promise to hire mostly minority workers for a riverboat casino on Lake Michigan.

When Trump was serving as the president of his family's real estate company, the Trump Management Corporation, in 1973, the Justice Department sued the company for alleged racial discrimination against black people looking to rent apartments in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

The lawsuit charged that the company quoted different rental terms and conditions to black rental candidates than it did with white candidates, and that the company lied to black applicants about apartments not being available. Trump called those accusations "absolutely ridiculous" and sued the Justice Department for $100 million in damages for defamation.

Without admitting wrongdoing, the Trump Management Corporation settled the original lawsuit two years later and promised not to discriminate against black people, Puerto Ricans or other minorities. Trump also agreed to send weekly vacancy lists for his 15,000 apartments to the New York Urban League, a civil rights group, and to allow the NYUL to present qualified applicants for vacancies in certain Trump properties.

Just three years after that, the Justice Department sued the Trump Management Corporation again for allegedly discriminating against black applicants by telling them apartments weren't available.

Good try Fox. But you know he wouldn't trash NYC.

If you don't want to see the truth then #sad.

Do you actually want me to think Trump wouldn't unload on NY? Why would he miss the opportunity to expose another liberal run rat hole? Of the top 10 worst rat infested crime ridden cities in the US, 10 of them are run by liberals. He blasted the loud mouth race baiter from Baltimore because he is trying to attack the people trying to protect us. You can repeat, spread, lie and hide but most of America can see right through you and all your sympathizers. Wear it!

This went beyond criticism and you know it.

He called it a rat infested town. Guess what city has more rats, wanna guess, that's NYC. Do you think he'll make the same claim?

No human being would want to live there.

Look I get it, you don't want to see his blatant racist/sexist remarks. You don't want to believe you voted for such an a-hole, but ya did.

You tell me who true racist is here. Hangy is saying, ***ings can dish out the criticism but he can't take it because he is black. ***ings can take a job representing the people of Baltimore but please don't expect him to do his job because he is black. I am glad he is not president, he sure couldn't handle the fake stories, lies and accusations Donald Trump has endured.

Oh, I see, being black exempts you from criticism Are you not looking down on someone when you exempt them from everyday exercises because of the color of their skin. Are you saying ***ings is not mentally fit enough to handle criticism because he is black. Do you exempt a color of people from scrutiny of living and reproducing in deplorable conditions. Why disqualify someone from hope because of the color of their skin. Talk about racist.

Because he didn't use a word of color.

But talking about district that is majority African American and speaking of an African American congressman.

Trump tweeted about ***ings and the condition of the Democrat's West Baltimore district Saturday, calling the black congressman a "brutal bully" and describing his black-majority district as a "disgusting, rat and rodent infested mess" and "more dangerous" than the southern border.

He later added that ***ings, "spends all of his time trying to hurt innocent people through 'Oversight.' He does NOTHING for his very poor, very dangerous and very badly run district! Take a look...."

Explain how it is false.

I was under the impression for something to be considered racist it would include something being said or done negatively about someones race. There has been NO, absolutely NO comments made concerning anyone's race with the exception of democrats and "racers"
Feel free to post the racist comment

Democrats cannot detect Fake News at all. All this is , is a fake news story that will run its course in a short amount of time. However they are saying it over and over because they know Democrats will swallow it hook line and sinker
