Remember when Trump ran for president in 2000??

[nat4900]

Trump recently stated that he won the presidency "on his first try".........and, of course, we can "forgive" his mistake because of his onset of dementia.....

Trump actually ran under the "reform Party" in 2000......but the rather interesting part of his campaign was when he announced some members of his entourage....

Oprah Winfrey..............as his Vice Presidential candidate

JACK WELCH..............as his Treasury Secretary

John McCain................as his Defense Secretary

Charles Rangell............as his HUD Secretary

But that was a long, LONG time ago and we shouldn't expect Trump to remember......LOL

His supporters don't care. The rest of the intelligent world does.

 

[depotoo]

He quit that run, he didn’t lose it. -

In the end, Trump quit the race because he concluded that the Reform Party was self-destructing and could not provide the "support a candidate needs to win." (This was his quote in a press release and later on TV).

Well, Trump was "wise" to back out.....

For one, 2000 was a year still stinging from "sexual" improper behaviors...and Trump's history would not have gone over well.

And, back in 2000 he didn't have the opportunity to garner all the closeted racists to back him......a cadre of racist and xenophobic morons pissed off that we had a half black president for 8 years.

 

[depotoo]

Closeted racists? He considered Oprah for his running mate, for craps sake. Are you intentionally ignorant, or just ignorant?

Ms. fuck head...........your reading comprehension sucks.

Back in 2000, Trump needed a black to counter his LONG history of racism.

But in 2015-16, he needed the "closeted-racists" to support him and that was the real reason for his "birther" movement...(BTW, what ever happened to those private investigators he sent to Hawaii.....you know the ones that were "finding amazing dirt on Obama"???)

[nat4900]

So you think that any of the Trump WH "enablers" would dare tell the orange clown that he DID run for president back in 2000 and he shouldn't say that he "won on the first try"???

I mean, should someone in his cult challenge his statements about: "I'm a really smart person.......I'm a very stable genius"......???..................LOL

Bull. That is a lie.
1997
Jesse Jackson Sets Up Office To Monitor Corporate Action
Donald J. Trump received an ovation when he announced that he would donate office space to Mr. Jackson's civil rights group, the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, in 40 Wall Street, a 72-story building he is renovating.
..................
In 1984, Reverend Jesse Jackson became the first African American to run a nationwide primary campaign for the Presidency of the United States. He ran again in 1988.

At the time, many rich white people disdained the black man running for President. Yet among those who legitimized Jackson’s efforts was Donald Trump. Looking back, Jesse Jackson said that Trump “created for many people a comfort zone when I ran for the Presidency, in ’84 and ’88.

He supported Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow/PUSH Coalition to pressure corporations to hire and promote black and minority employees. Trump supported the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He praised minorities working in his real estate projects. In 1999, he wanted to run for President with an African American woman as his running-mate. He made campaign contributions to political candidates who are African Americans and minorities. He made more contributions to an African American than to any white candidate. He also donated to charities affiliated with prominent African Americans...

...
Meanwhile, Trump also asserted the rights of African Americans in his hometown of New York City. In 1986, the NAACP had been forced to leave New York. The group had about 500,000 members nationwide. But despite having had their headquarters in New York for 77 years, the NAACP could no longer afford to operate in New York, lacking support from the city government. Mayor Ed Koch had made an insufficient offer of assistance to help the civil rights organization stay in New York, so it moved to Baltimore. Still, they decided to hold their 78th Annual Convention in the New York.


Consequently, Donald Trump took the initiative of helping the NAACP by hosting a pre-convention party and by agreeing to speak at the convention. Trump defended this premiere organization of African Americans, saying: “The NAACP should have a place in the greatest city in the world. But it’s the same old story: Because of this administration, organizations are forced to leave New York…”

...In 1992, Charlie Rose interviewed Trump. Among various topics, Rose asked him about the elections for Mayor of New York City. Trump took the opportunity only to praise David Dinkins, the first African American Mayor of NYC. Trump said that “Dinkins has really done a great job, in terms of coming back, and I also think he’s a great human being, I think he’s a very fine man. He helped me, but he was tough, he was strong, he was very community-oriented, he was very much for the people,” and was someone “who really lived up to his word.”...

...He insisted that “Harlem needs more help than does 5th Avenue.” He suggested greater business incentives and City investments north of 125th Street. Trump explained that the tax abatement program “is pretty uniform throughout the City, which would seem to put areas that need the help in a great disadvantage.” He insisted that Harlem deserved more tax abatements than other parts of the New York City.

In the same book, Trump argued: “The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission should be in the business of protecting African Americans, Hispanics, Gays, and other minoritiesagainst obvious discrimination.” Trump also argued that it is racist to say “that poor urban parents aren’t capable of making good educational choices for their children.” He said that urban parents probably worry about their kids more than parents in Beverly Hills worry about theirs.

Trump also said that the American Dream should be unencumbered by “racism, discrimination against women, or discrimination against people based on sexual orientation.”

He also praised the African American Congressman J.C. Watts: “I admire J.C. for his passion and principle,” whereas other people dismissed Watts for being a Republican.

...
2011, Trump complained that Jon Stewart had mocked the African American presidential candidate Herman Cain in a racist way.

Herman Cain himself complained too.

Trump repeated his complaint in an afterword to his book Time to Get Tough. He wrote:


The Donald and "the Blacks" -


In Palm Beach, Florida — tough community — a brilliant community, a wealthy community, probably the wealthiest community there is in the world, I opened a club,” he said. “And really got great credit for it. No discrimination against African-Americans, against Muslims, against anybody. And it’s a tremendously successful club. And I’m very, very proud of it.”

Former Town Councilman Bill Diamond said Trump’s reference to Mar-a-Lago was spot-on.

“Up until the time he opened, there were very few minorities in most of the clubs,” said Diamond, who’s not a member of Mar-a-Lago. He founded Palm Beachers for Trump committee.

“There was not an integrated club to the extent of Mar-a-Lago. He was able to open up a beautiful resort to the Palm Beach world. And I think he deserves tremendous credit for doing that. That was very brave of him.”

When Mar-a-Lago opened in 1995, it welcomed Jewish and African-American members.

“I think it’s something he should be very proud of,” Diamond said. “How he developed the club and how he opened it up to all ethnicities. This was the first club in Palm Beach that was really, from the very beginning, open to everybody. The opening of Mar-a-Lago to anyone in Palm Beach regardless of race or religion shows the kind of man Donald Trump is and I’m very proud of him for doing that.”

Palm Beacher Cynthia Friedman, a staunch Democrat, also gives Trump credit for his work at Mar-a-Lago.

“I think it is something for him to point out with pride,” she said. “I will give him credit when he speaks the truth, and what he said is true. That’s a fact. He did open that club with no bias on color and religion. It’s not closed like some of the other clubs that are much more restrictive.”
Trump uses Mar-a-Lago to combat claims from Clinton that he’s racist

Closeted racists? He considered Oprah for his running mate, for craps sake. Are you intentionally ignorant, or just ignorant?
