If Trump could have absolved himself of the charges by testifying that it was done by an underling without his knowledge why didn't he? Instead he fought the case for over two years and then agreed to the governments first settlement offer. He didn't even try to negotiate for a lower offer.

Stop being a Trump apologist.

If you can't understand nuance or take an insult and look at the argument behind it then you should leave the debates to the adults.

Are you saying that we know that Trump himself decided who to rent apartments to? I'd look at any evidence of that if you could point to it.

Anyway, so you seem to be with the morons insofar as this sort of thing goes, Ki.
He might have just been saying that a Mexican judge will be biased by national loyalty and not racism.

Or he's just being a prick and keeping out minorities to keep his racist white tenants happy.

So insulting each other during a debate is considered adult behavior? Good to know. I'll remember that.

Being able to take an insult and not let it get to you is definitely adult, and making them is just satisfying when it doesn't affect your argument.

Who's the boss of Trump Management?

Quote:
Back in 1973, Trump was president of his father’s realty company, Trump Management, which operated nearly 40 apartment buildings comprised of about 14,000 residences total, mostly in New York City.

In October of that year, the federal government filed a complaint against Trump, his father Fred Trump, and Trump Management. The complaint alleged that the Trumps violated the Fair Housing Act, part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, by discriminating against tenants and potential tenants based on their race.

How about the fact that the Justice Department brought a housing discrimination suit against him and Trump eventually settled?

Trust me. I laid this out for him but he doesn't want to believe it.
