Trump Kept Hitler’s Speeches by his Bed: Says Only Short Jews Can Count His Money, Not Blacks

Trump’s fascination with Hitler is just one form of his racist actions. In 1991, John O’Donnell, a former Trump associate, wrote an exposé entitled Trumped! The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump. During O’Donnell’s tenure as president of the Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump told him that he hates “black guys counting my money!” He added that “the only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” To Trump, “laziness is a trait in blacks.” Several years later, Trump didn’t bother to deny it: “The stuff O’Donnell wrote about me is probably true."

That's a veritable twofer for The Donald. He got to insult two groups at once.

make an issue of that.

If he is the nominee, the Democrats may be able to use that, but his perverted ideology will continue until that moment or until the GOP finds something to beat him with that resonates with the base and that they can really say they do not support. Not obvious.
