Trump references Jimmy the Greek in advice to set-up speaker Carr
After POLITICO published an article on Carr's remarks, the radio host wrote that a Trump aide handed him his cellphone with the article. "That didn't take long," the Trump aide said, according to Carr.
"I thought 'cultural appropriation' was a big deal for the PC police. The definition of which is 'use of elements of one culture by members of a different culture without invitation or permission,'" Carr wrote.
Trump's advice, according to Carr:
“Whatever you do, don’t apologize,” Trump said. “You never hear me apologize, do you? That’s what killed Jimmy the Greek way back. Remember? He was doing okay ’til he said he was sorry.”

This is what Trump is referring to:
On January 16, 1988, he was fired by the CBS network (where he had been a regular on NFL Today since 1976) after commenting to WRC-TV reporter Ed Hotaling at Duke Zeibert's Washington, D.C. restaurant that African Americans were naturally superior athletes at least in part because they had been bred to produce stronger offspring during slavery:
“ The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way, because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs and he's bred to be the better athlete because this goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trade … the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid …[2]
