I thought Trump was a racist?

In 1999, Trump was interviewed by the Gay Advocate magazine. Here's what he said:


Why should gays and lesbians be interested in you as a presidential candidate?

I grew up in New York City, a town with different races, religions, and peoples. It breeds tolerance. In all truth, I don’t care whether or not a person is gay. I judge people based on their capability, honesty, and merit.

Being in the entertainment business — that is, owning casinos and … several large beauty pageants — I’ve worked with many gay people. I have met some tough, talented, capable, terrific people. Their lifestyle is of no interest to me.


Would we see gay people in a Trump administration?


I would want the best and brightest. Sexual orientation would be meaningless. I’m looking for brains and experience. If the best person for the job happens to be gay, I would certainly appoint them.


Are your gay employees allowed to be out?


Everyone makes a personal choice. Look, it just doesn’t matter to me. I try to treat everybody equal and fairly. Maybe that’s why I can count men like Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, and Sammy Sosa as my friends.

When you hang with people who are different from you, you get an appreciation for other cultures.

Trump goes his whole life never being called racist, and now all of the sudden he runs against Hillary Clinton and he is the epitome of one.
Well, the left has to label everyone, even though they "hate" labels. They go immediately for the "racist" label because it puts folks on the defensive. They are smarmy like that.

And frankly, it works. The media carries their water and repeats it constantly. The average American pays little attention and laps it up.
