His top advisers and cabinet picks have histories of prejudice
Trump denied responsibility for the racist incidents that followed his election
He launched a travel ban targeting Muslims
He attacked Muslim Gold Star parents
Trump’s retaliation against the parents of a Muslim U.S. Army officer who died while serving in the Iraq War was a low point in a campaign full of hateful rhetoric
He claimed a judge was biased because “he’s a Mexican”
The Justice Department sued his company ― twice ― for not renting to black people
In fact, discrimination against black people has been a pattern throughout Trump’s career
He refused to immediately condemn the white supremacists who advocated for him
He questioned whether President Barack Obama was born in the United States
He treats racial groups as monoliths
He trashed Native Americans, too
He encouraged the mob anger that resulted in the wrongful imprisonment of the Central Park Five
In 1989, Trump took out full-page ads in four New York City-area newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty in New York and the expansion of police authority in response to the infamous case of a woman who was beaten and raped while jogging in Manhattan’s Central Park.
He condoned the beating of a Black Lives Matter protester
He called supporters who beat up a homeless Latino man “passionate”
He stereotyped Jews and shared an anti-Semitic image created by white supremacists
He treats African-American supporters as tokens to dispel the idea he is racist
His father, Fred Trump, was a target of folk singer Woody Guthrie’s lyrics after Guthrie lived for two years in a building owned by Trump père: “I suppose / Old Man Trump knows / Just how much / Racial hate / He stirred up / In the bloodpot of human hearts.”
And last fall, a news report from 1927 surfaced on the site Boing Boing, revealing that Fred Trump was arrested that year following a KKK riot in Queens. It’s not clear exactly what the elder Trump was doing there or what role he may have played in the riot.
