During five decades in business and politics, he has never taken personal responsibility for anything. Not for violating the Fair Housing Act when he refused to rent apartments to black people in New York City. Not for hiring undocumented immigrants to work at his hotels and golf courses. Not for many bankruptcies and failed real estate ventures. Not for illicit payoffs to the women who claimed affairs with him. Not for perpetrating the biggest and most protracted lie in our political history that
Barack Obama, the first black American president, was illegitimate because he was born in Africa.
Donald Trump has owned or operated over 500 businesses or operations in his career. He had 5 bankruptcies. That's a 1% failure rate which is a record any CEO would be happy to have. You don't become a multi-millionaire into a multi-billionaire because you're a failure.
When President Trump was running for the nomination, he did address his dealings with foreigners. He said what most of us already knew: you can't compete with businesses that use low wage workers unless you do the same yourself.
How many times have we seen wealthy people payoff women whether they had anything to do with them or not? It happens all the time, and Trump would have fought her in court until her last dime was spent if not doing the job of a US President. It doesn't mean he did anything wrong.
The court dropped the charges against Donald's father with a settlement that included no admission of guilt on behalf of the Trump organization for discrimination. The settlement included advertising in media that had a large black readership.
Out of the dozens of interviews they conducted of Trump's employees, they only found one disgruntled doorman who said he "was told" to tell blacks there were no units available to rent, and not by Trump himself. All other former employees said they were unaware, and certainly never participated in discrimination of blacks. This was outlined in a 400 page FBI report.
The agency has released nearly 400 pages of records.

As president, Trump blamed “liberal judges” for rejecting his initial travel ban on predominantly Muslim countries. He blamed Obama for his own policy of separating families seeking asylum. He blamed the media and Democrats for perpetrating a hoax about the dangers of the coronavirus. He then blamed China for failing to apprise us about the pandemic, even though he was briefed on it before he took remedial action. He blamed the WHO for being to cozy with the Chinese. He blamed a nonexistent Obama era regulation for his own failure to provide medical professionals with adequate testing kits for the coronavirus. He blamed governors for the lack of protective equipment for health care workers. He blamed Obama for low level the US stockpile of emergency supplies, although he never anything remedy the situation.
Trump's old buddy Harry Cohn told him you never, ever take responsibility for failure. Never lie to a judge and never tell the truth to public. Never defend but always attack.
