This is why Trump attacks black athletes.....

cause he views all black men like this, even if they are innocent....

Trump had a full-page ad promoting execution of a group of Latino and Black children, who later turned out to be innocent. Trump paid close to $90,000 on full page ads in 4 newspapers. This incident is referred to as the Central Park Five. There is a very detailed Ken Burns Documentary about this as named, “The Central Park Five.” Trump actively ran a race based campaign against these youth, that still continues to this day. Trump still claims that they are guilty, even after DNA evidence exonerating them, a confession by the actual perpetrator, and the city reaching a 41 million dollar settlement with the 5.

He still thought they were guilty. I think that was within the last five years, too.

I think people see black men as more attractive and virile, even as they age. A "separate bedrooms" kind of man like Trump is going to be threatened by that. Sorry if that is racist, it isn't meant to be bad.

Every time he sucker-punches minorities this way, they feel they're doing it themselves.

That's the secret sauce of modern GOP policics - that, and cheating.
