A Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter who wrote a biography of President Trump said the president doesnt view non-white people as people.
David Cay Johnston wrote the 2016 bestseller The Making of Donald Trump and has reportedly known Trump for over two decades.
He appeared on Dean Obeidallahs SiriusXM show on Friday to discuss Trumps false claim that 3,000 people did not die in Puerto Rico following massive hurricane last year.
Donald does not see people who are not white as people, Johnston said. And hes been like this for a long, long time. This not a newly acquired or strange thing.
He pointed to an anecdote from John R. ODonnells book, detailing his time spent as the former Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino President.
ODonnell claimed that Trump refused to have a black accountant.
The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day, Trump reportedly said.
Judicial proceedings against the president and longtime New York businessman have found that he discriminated against blacks, women, Asians and Puerto Ricans, Johnston added.
Trump tweeted Thursday without evidence that the Puerto Rican death toll from Hurricane Maria had been inflated by Democrats to make him look bad.
"3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths," Trump tweeted. "As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000."
His claim contradicted recent studies that found the death toll to be significantly higher than originally reported.
Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló in a statement on Thursday said "it is a fact" that 2,975 people died following the devastating hurricane.
Bull. Trump was famous in NYC for bantering with cabbies, etc. Try to find a white cabby in NYC.
If its correct, fine CNN, read the names of all the dead like as done for 9/11!
When did this happen? I didnt post the article. You need to develop some reading comprehension skills.
Morgan’s parents need to find her a nice boy to settle down with.
Hmmm...
Doesnt say he was HIRED by Trump to write this. Labeling him biographer means nothing. I could write a book explaining that Obama is an idiot, but it wouldnt give any more weight to my words to say Im Obamas biographer.
Funny, that's the only guy who tailors my suits too. Perfect fit!
I call BS on the tard!
Of course we’re going to see an uptick in these kinds of stories. Dims are panicked that there is a 36% approval rating among Blacks, and the economy is booming for them as well. Gotta do something to keep them chained to the Dim plantation....
The Racism Card.
A tried and true Democrat staple.
