Trump: "Laziness is a trait in blacks. I believe that. It’s not anything they can control."

The “laziness” statement came after Donald Trump started having financial difficulties at his casinos in Atlantic City. Trump’s response? He had black accountants. And he managed to squeeze two forms of racism into a single statement.

John O’Donnell, who was president of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino and later wrote a memoir about his experience, said Trump blamed financial difficulties partly on African American accountants.

“I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza — black guys counting my money!” O’Donnell’s book quoted Trump as saying. “I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else. .?.?. Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. 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.”

1. Wow

And we are tied with this guy? How is that even remotely possible.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

7. A sizeable minority thinks like he does. NT

[retrowire]

11. and this is the nightmarish reality we must realize. nt

[billhicks76]

30. Is It Hatred If Clinton or Love Of Racism?

What keeps us tied with Trump? That 50% of the voting population is racist or just hates Hillary?

[retrowire]

33. to quote the meme

Why not both?

[billhicks76]

34. We Are Screwed Then

Hillary needs to mobilize turnout. Or we lose. Is she picks Big Banks Supporter Tim Kaine then I'm moving to Canada.

[retrowire]

35. seriously nt

[uponit7771]

21. +1, and their education level varies... they're ignorant so they don't know any better

[ailsagirl]

2. His outrageous remarks just stun me

Unbelievable

[Chicago1980]

3. Blow me bitch...

[Funtatlaguy]

5. Is there video of this?

Probably not or we would have seen it by now.

[Democat]

6. Is there any kind of documented proof?

Like the Romney speech?

[DetlefK]

10. Just the book. And Trump cannot decide whether the book is truthful or not:

Trump told Playboy magazine that O’Donnell’s memoir was “probably true.” He told The Post earlier this year that the book was “fiction,” although he hadn’t read it. Trump said he fired O’Donnell, but O’Donnell said he quit.

8. LOL, that's gonna make Omarosa job really difficult...

she probably didn't know Donald felt that way about her...too.

USA-Today

...and I'm sure they're changing history books just as fast as they can.

[BLACK4EVER]

14. I'm still laughing

when I read Trump picked Omarosa as the director as African-American Outreach, I thought he might as well as selected the Grand Wizard of the KKK for the post. He "used" her for his crappy NBC show "The Apprentice" and he's trying to use her now. Most black folks think of Omarosa as a no-talent reality "celebrity wanna-be

[Stellar]

17. True dat....

LOL, I thought she was just trying to be his thang on the side. She was a beotch on the show and she still is. She get's really angry when people make fun of 'the' Donald. I wish they had a reporter following her around...cause she should be interesting to watch trying to convince Black folks to vote for the Don and get his percentage out of 0% .

[Fantastic Anarchist]

25. She has to kiss his ass our else she'll have to accept reality:

That he thinks of her as lazy, which in her mind, would preclude her from being superior to her brothers and sisters. She's worked too hard not to be black.

[Stellar]

28. Amen to that.

I'm sure when she looks in the mirror, she see's blond hair and blue eyes.

[hamsterjill]

27. Omarosa was bought and paid for a long time ago.

She and all of the other Trump surrogates are being paid handsomely, I'm sure, to lick his boots. The problem is that they are willing to do it.

[Stellar]

29. We can put her in the camp with Stacey Dash and that police officer that works for FOX 'news'

I guess Black folks need jobs too and willing to do anything to get one.



ETA: pic She's draped all over the man.

[coco77]

31. She knows..

She doesn't give a damn she is suppose to be a minister runs a church,she and the other black preachers don't give a damn about black people or any other people its all about the $$$$$$$

[Stellar]

32. That's right!!!

A minister, I forgot about that. Some of the ministers here in Chicago took money from Gov Rauner and sold all of there members out. I've never had a Republic0n call my house and sending me literaure asking for my support until Rauner did in 2012. There's nothing but Democrats in my area and I'm like WTH! How the hell did he get my info?

[grossproffit]

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

That's pretty f'ing offensive too.

[retrowire]

13. well gat damn nt

[Vinca]

12. Holy shiite. And that's not the Onion? Wow.

Bashes blacks and Jews in one fell swoop.

[ericson00]

15. any audio of this?

it would actually sound GREAT in a Hillary commercial.

[Skid Rogue]

16. Yet, his campaign steals...

Michelle Obama's speech rather than write their own. The absolute blindness of these jokers will be their down fall.

[KingCharlemagne]

18. The "short guys in yarmulkes" have a word for this: chutzpah - nt

[COLGATE4]

19. The short guys in yarmulkes have another word

too: schmuck

[bettyellen]

23. Both great words. Love Yiddish.

[uponit7771]

20. THE MOST OPENLY RACIST CANDIDATE IN MY VOTING LIFE TIME !!!!

[True Dough]

26. And yet some people flat out deny it

If you dare to suggest that Trump is racist, they accuse you of being ridiculous or invoking "Godwin's Law." It's like a non-starter for them.
Too bad they refuse to see the forest for the trees.

[Starry Messenger]

22. He's disgusting.

[PatSeg]

24. Holy crap

I had only seen part of that quote, out of context. He really does not have any kind of filter whatsoever, though it is more likely he just doesn't care.
