Trump Had Racist Reaction To Staff Members Of Color At White House
Donald Trumpreportedly made a racist assumption about a group of racially diverse congressional staff members at a White House reception held early in his presidency.
According to an advance copy of New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman’s book, Confidence Man, which was obtained by Rolling Stone,Trump assumed the staffers were waiters ― and told them to get some food.
Reince Priebus, who was White House chief of staff at the time, told Trump they were top congressional aides, then went to find the actual waiters for him, the magazine reported.

Donald Trump looks increasingly like a stray orange hair to be flicked off the nation’s sleeve
For Trump, the suppurating wound on American life, and for those who share his curdled venom,
war is a hellacious distraction from their self-absorption.
Fortunately, their ability to be major distractions is waning.

George F. Will writes a twice-weekly column on politics and domestic and foreign affairs. He began his column with The Post in 1974, and he received the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1977. His latest book, "American Happiness and Discontents," was released in September 2021.
Since 1982 the Bulwer Lytton Fiction Contest has challenged participants to write an atrocious opening sentence to the worst novel never written.
The whimsical literary competition honors Sir Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, whose 1830 novel Paul Clifford begins with “It was a dark and stormy night.”
The contest receives thousands of entries each year, and every summer our Panel of Undistinguished Judges convenes to select winners and dishonorable mentions for such categories as Purpose Prose and Vile Puns.

Trump had a history of racist, sexist and xenophobic behavior long before he sought the presidency,and which he took with him to the White House. He was also among the leading voices behind the racist “birther” conspiracy theory, which claimed that then-President Barack Obamawas a secret Muslim who wasn’t born in the United States.
When he moved into the White House after Obama,
Trump told a visitor he had the bathrooms remodeled, per Confidence Man.
“You understand what I’m talking about,” he told the guest,
who interpreted that “to mean
Trump did not want to use the same bathroom as his Black predecessor.”
