      The link you provided doesn’t say that, “Trump and his father, who were both named as defendants, responded by accusing the Department of Justice of defamation, and filing a $100 million countersuit. The messy legal battle ended with the Trumps signing a consent decree, an agreement that allows both parties to end a dispute without admitting fault.”

      Translation: While being sued for discrimination the Trumps sued the DOJ for accusing them of defamation for a large sum of money and dragged it out in court until the DOJ decided the case was costing them too much with no end in sight and was forced to mutually drop the cases against each other, thus allowing the Trump’s to not be tried for discrimination. They used their wealth to avoid consequences, so much the same as we’re seeing now.

        Okay but the material facts of the case included that their employees were instructed to identify applicants who were black and refuse to rent to them because they were black.

        That’s not a judgement, it’s just central evidence uncovered by the DoJ.

        Which, if you’ll pardon the expression, is a kind of no contest that he’s racist.

          There’s no doubt he’s racist, but don’t you think at the very least we should strive to be better than fox news at reporting the details?
