Love my president! People always cry about generational wealth but this gives everyone an opportunity to learn the basics early and have a good headstart no matter who you are. Sad thing is, I have seen a few(not a lot) X's of Democrats saying they are going to rob their children of the chance just because they have the TDS mental illness.

Do you know how absurd your post is?
How could you, and whoever created the tweet, forget about the casino scandal from years ago? Your post is 100% BS, so easy to disprove. I know you’ve said you have no time for in depth posts, but you can’t do better than this!?!? Donald Trump was NEVER called a racist before he ran?!?! That’s the silliest claim going! The history of his racism, and being called a racist is very, very WELL KNOWN.
Do you ever consider not posting bald face lies that are easily blown away by facts?
Ever?? Just once??
Donald Trump was accused of racism long before his presidency, despite what online posts claim
CLAIM: Donald Trump was never called a racist until he ran for president.

CLAIM: Donald Trump was never called a racist until he ran for president.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The federal government sued Trump for allegedly discriminating against Black apartment seekers in the 1970s. Black pastors also accused the New York businessman of stirring racial animus during the “Central Park Five” rape case in the 1980s. Native American groups criticized him for making derogatory remarks about tribes seeking to build casinos in the 1990s. Trump was also a leading voice of the “birther” conspiracy that baselessly claimed former President Barack Obama was from Africa and not an American citizen.
THE FACTS: As Trump seeks to reclaim the White House amid mounting criminal probes, social media users are sharing a meme that claims he was never accused of racism until he sought the highest office in the land.
Many are sharing an old photo of Trump posing with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, boxing promoter Don King and other African Americans.
“Donald Trump was never called a racist until he ran for president against Hillary Clinton,” the text around the image reads.
But there’s ample evidence showing that Trump has been called out for bigotry and racism throughout his decades in the public eye.
In 1973, for example, the Justice Department sued the real estate tycoon and his father for their alleged refusal to rent apartments in predominantly white buildings to Black tenants. Testimony showed that applications filed by Black apartment seekers were marked with a “C” for “colored.”
The lawsuit ended in a settlement in which the Trumps acknowledged they “failed and neglected” to comply with the Fair Housing Act, though they were never required to explicitly acknowledge discrimination had occurred.
In 1989, Trump infamously took out full page newspaper ads calling for New York state to reinstate the death penalty as five Black and Latino teenagers were set to stand trial for beating and raping a white woman in Central Park.
Black clergy leaders responded with their own full-page ad denouncing Trump’s as a ''thinly veiled racist polemic’’ meant to divide the city. The Rev. Al Sharpton also organized a demonstration outside Trump Tower.
The five men were eventually exonerated in 2002 after another man admitted to the crime and it was determined their confessions were coerced.
In the 1990s, the Atlantic City casino mogul frequently cast doubtabout the legitimacy of tribes seeking to build casinos in the New York area, citing their dark skin as evidence they were faking their ancestry.
“They don’t look like Indians to me, and they don’t look like Indians to Indians, and a lot of people are laughing at it,” Trump said of the Mashantucket Pequots who operate Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut during testimony before Congress in 1993.
Tribe leaders at the time called out the remarks as racist. The National Indian Gaming Association filed a Federal Communications Commission complaint after Trump made similar remarks on Don Imus’ talk radio show.
The group described his on-air comments as “obscene, indecent and profane racial slurs against Native Americans and African Americans.” The FCC declined to take action, though it called the remarks “deplorable” and “offensive.”

While I liked your post, I will remind you he is a troll and nothing but, so all the wants is to piss people off, so he'll post whatever it takes to do so, truth isn't even close to part of his thought process, just agitation. Nothing more.Do you know how absurd your post is?

I mean I would never vote for Trump based on his actions in regard to the Central Park Five and that was '89.Do you know how absurd your post is?

imagine thinking the opinion of a business man with no political position is the issue with this case. You are retarded. Somehow Trump is worse that the rapists and murderers that committed the crime and were not held accountable? If you are completely brainwashed and retarded it might be a good idea to see what Trump actually said instead of what the media tells you "the racist" said. He is talking about criminals he wasn't talking about these people specifically involved in the case. Way back in 89 Trump was tired of democrats handcuffing police, interfering in police actions, and blaming everyone except the criminal and that makes him a racist. How little have things changed!
So Sardines what exactly does Trump say here that you find so abhorrent, that made you decide way back in 1989 that made you clutch your pearls and decide you could never vote for this racist?
It did not explicitly name the Central Park Five but referenced the case in the context of calling for harsher punishments, including the reinstatement of the death penalty in New York State (which had been abolished in 1965 for most crimes).
nytimes.com
Here is the full text of the ad, as transcribed from historical records:
BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE! What has happened to our City over the past ten years? What has happened to the respect for authority, the fear of retribution by the courts, our church leaders, and our police? What has happened to the complete inability to stop crime? What has happened to the pride and respect that police officers had for their profession and we had for our police officers? Let's be honest with ourselves. Our police have been handcuffed, unable to do their job for fear of being sued or harassed by the Department of Justice or some civil liberties group. Civil liberties end when an attack on our safety begins! For how many years have we allowed our criminals to go unpunished? How many more innocent people have to die? I am tired of reading about the latest brutal murder or rape and then hearing some politician or so-called leader saying that the criminal is not responsible, society is responsible. Mayor Koch has stated that hate and rancor should be removed from our hearts. I do not think so. I want to hate these muggers and murderers. They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence. Yes, Mayor Koch, I want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyze or understand them, I am looking to punish them. If the punishment is strong, the attacks on innocent people will stop. I recently watched a newscast trying to explain the "anger in these young men." I no longer want to understand their anger. I want them to understand our anger. I want them to be afraid. How can our great society tolerate the continued brutalization of its citizens by crazed misfits? Criminals must be told that their CIVIL LIBERTIES END WHEN AN ATTACK ON OUR SAFETY BEGINS! When I was young, I sat in a diner with my father and witnessed two young bullies cursing and threatening a very frightened waitress. Two cops rushed in, lifted up the thugs and threw them out the door, warning them never to cause trouble again. I miss the feeling of security New York's finest once gave to the citizens of this City. Let our politicians give back our police department's power to keep us safe. Unshackle them from the constant chant of "police brutality" which every petty criminal hurls immediately at an officer who has just risked his or her life to save another's. We must cease our continuous pandering to the criminal population of this City. Give New York back to the citizens who have earned the right to be New Yorkers! Send a message loud and clear to those who would murder our citizens and terrorize New York—BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY AND BRING BACK OUR POLICE! Donald J. Trump
His position was staunchly in favor of the death penalty for violent crimes like murder and rape, and he advocated for a tougher stance on policing and against what he saw as excessive civil liberties for criminals.
