Trump doesn't see people who aren't white as people

A Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter who wrote a biography of President Trump said the president doesn’t view non-white people “as people.” David Cay Johnston wrote the 2016 bestseller “The Making of Donald Trump” and has reportedly known Trump for over two decades.

He pointed to an anecdote from John R. O’Donnell’s book, detailing his time spent as the former Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino President. O’Donnell claimed that Trump refused to have a black accountant.

“The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day,” Trump reportedly said.

Judicial proceedings against the president and longtime New York businessman have found that he discriminated against blacks, women, Asians and Puerto Ricans, Johnston added.

All his grown kids have said, as well as 1st wife Ivana, that he doesn't or can't relate to his kids until they're about 18 and can talk business with him. (The exception to this rule are those uncomfortable touchy-feely photos with teenage Ivanka, yuck).

If you watch closely whenever Barron is around, Spanky never looks at, talks to or touches that kid, ever.
