    Yes and trump org “settled out of court” when charged with violating the fair housing act by not renting to “coloreds”. They would write the letter C on the back of the rent application so the office would know to refuse them.

    They let Woody Guthrie rent though, and he was pissed.

      They didn’t settle out of court they accepted a plea agreement essentially, it’s pretty standard, they admitted no fault and we’re supposed to end the practice, which they did not. They ended up in court over it again after persisting, then again agreed to end the practice and admit no fault. Supposedly they changed policy afterwords, but idk. Nixon was pretty racist.

      Oof. They even have a photo of Trump’s dad with a Hitler stache in 1950.

      And the American people voted his son into our highest office.

      Wild.
