WASHINGTON — Kara Young, a biracial model who dated Donald J. Trump for two years before he married another model named Melania Knauss, remembers clearly bringing up her race with the real estate tycoon early in their relationship. As with so many issues, he steered the conversation to celebrity.
“I didn’t hide my race from Donald Trump. He knew,” Ms. Young said in a rare interview. “He would say, ‘You’re like Derek Jeter.’ And I would say, ‘Exactly.’”
“I never heard him say a disparaging comment towards any race of people,” she added.
The furor that Mr. Trump has created with his equivocation over the violence this weekend at a white supremacist march in Charlottesville, Va., has refocused attention on the president’s complex relationship with matters of race. Long before he embarked on his improbable political career, he had courted racial controversy, calling for the death penalty for five black and Latino teens who were later shown to have been wrongly convicted of a rape in Central Park, settling a Justice Department suit that charged the family business with housing discrimination and falsely accusing the nation’s first black president of being born in Kenya. Beyond dating a biracial model, he made outsize efforts to hang out publicly with African-American celebrities: the boxing promoter Don King, the hip-hop impresarios Kanye West, Russell Simmons and Sean Combs, and celebrities as big as Muhammad Ali, James Brown and Michael Jackson.
But more than ever, the question is being asked: Is Mr. Trump personally racist?
The few African-Americans in his inner circle respond with an emphatic no....

Mr. Wallach recalled Mr. Trump telling a colleague at the company to apologize to Mr. Wallach for an anti-Semitic comment once.
This was actually a VERY favorable article by the NYT. The fact that Maggie Haberman wrote this, as she really doesn't like trump, as shocking to me. The good part is that liberals will read this because this is a trusted source to them.
Oh lookie the leftwing nuts are back to the DJT and his supporters are white nationalists/racists again. Worked so well for 18 months of the campaign.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe the NYT should take a gander at a couple of recent polls showing the majority of Americans do not support removing of Confederate landmarks etc.
Out of touch elitist alert.
New York Times
YAMICHE ALCINDOR and MAGGIE HABERMAN
Hmmm.
This really confuses me.
Something is up.
I don’t trust them.
Well, the “Russia” thing didn’t turn out so well for them, so they thought they’d try “race” again....
Wait, did POTUS Compare Derek Jeter to white nationalist/ Sarc

bullcrap headline, as I assuming your analysis of the content is correct.
CBS proved that about Trump voters.
“. As with so many issues, he steered the conversation to celebrity.”
So there is no correct answer for Donald Trump.
That proves is! DJT ditched Maggie for Melania. Racist!

How do they feel?
Presumably, with their fingers
According to Malinia's convention speech, she was already dating Trump when he was still married to Marla Maples, and he was dating Marla Maples before he divorced Ivana. So, presumably, he was dating Kara Young while he was married to Marla Maples?
What race is Derek Jeter?
It doesn’t matter to the “liberals” (communists) that read that print blog. Calling him a racist isn’t about whether they actually believe him to be a racist in his personal life. It’s about trashing him for political gain.
You look at the racist, hate church that Obama attended -
slurping up all of Jeremiah Wright’s bile for 20 years and calling him his “spiritual mentor”, and it tells you all you need to know about their warped perception of race.
Bingo.
What happened to the “Rooskie connection ?”
I’ve never believed that Donald Trump cared about anyone’s race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion. He seems to care only about their personal interactions with himself.
Maybe he was “dating” Kara and Melania at the same time ... but who keeps up with that stuff?
Seems to me that all his former wives and girlfriends have nothing bad to say about him. Ivana had a few moments of classlessness during her divorce, but she recanted publicly and they now seem to be friendly, although she tends to stay in Europe.
I doubt there is one intelligent, creative, successful person of any race, ethnicity or gender who isn’t layered and complicated. Not all of them are nice. Donald seems to be nice.
Trump owns a dog?
