A chip off the old block, it would seem deathandtaxesmag.com We already know Donald Trump’s father Fred Trump was a notoriously slimy slumlord who was frequently investigated for misappropriation of funds and housing discrimination. Hell, there’s even a Woody Guthrie song about it. Now new details have emerged about just what that discrimination looked like, and they are predictably ugly. In a newly published interview with the New York Daily News, retired building manager and former Trump employee Stanley Leibowitz recalls how Fred Trump treated black people who applied to live in his buildings. Specifically, a registered nurse named Maxine Brown who applied for a place in Trump’s Wilshire Apartments in 1963. Via NYDN: “She was calling me on a daily basis, wanted to know the status of the application. I had her checked out and she should have been accepted,” Leibowitz recalled. Leibowitz described what happened when he showed Brown’s application to Fred Trump while Donald was standing alongside his father. “I asked him, ‘What do you want me to do with this application?’ He said, ‘You know I don’t rent to nig--s. Put it in your desk drawer.’ Donald was alongside of him. He was maybe 16, 17 years old at the time. He was learning the business of his father. He was right at his side.” Young Donald, he says, just stood there silently. Listening. Learning. Donald, Leibowitz said, had “no reaction” to his father’s use of the slur. Leibowitz did as he was told and filed Brown’s application directly into the trash. (Just following orders!) Perhaps feeling guilty, the building manager testified about the incident before the Human Rights Commission after Brown filed a complaint, but left the N-word out of it. Brown won her case and moved into the complex. Trump spokesperson Hope Hicks responded to the allegation in a statement Thursday: “This claim, which is categorically false, is also totally unsubstantiated. Additionally, as you said, Mr. Trump would have been 16 years old at the time.” Of course, it’s not fair to hold Trump responsible for the sins of his father. But given the level of racist bile on display in his own campaign trail rhetoric, it seems only logical that he learned it from somewhere. [h/t Raw Story]
