Trump to black columnist: 'You are the racist, not I'

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) —Donald Trump might be a presidential candidate mired in an ongoing national controversy, but he still makes time to offer feedback to newspaper columnists.

This time, the scribe who drew Trump's ire was the Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart, who called out the billionaire's "baldly racist xenophobia" in a column earlier this week.

In response, Trump sent Capehart, who is African American, a handwritten note: "Jonathan - You are the racist, not I," Trump wrote. "Get rid of your 'hate.'"

Trump is blowing up the entire dog-and-pony show the Republicrats usually orchestrate.

They have lost control. Anything can happen now.

Don't know this Capehart guy, but the journalism profession is rife with stone cold bigots who make a living calling people of a different shade racists.

So another slap on the back for Donald.

Trump throwing Alinsky right back at him.

Gotta love it and it is a teachable moment for Republicans.

They're following the definition of insanity. What they're doing isn't working to diminish Trump and Sanders. So the elite just keep it coming.

For most people I know, it's a question of whether one supports Trump or Sanders. Yeah, I think the puppet masters have lost control. I just wonder if they've lost control of counting the votes.

I guess you haven’t been paying attention to the polls.

"Anything can happen now"

They'll shoot him if they have to.

They'd prefer to destroy his public persona and move on, but they'll shoot him if they must.

I am waiting for the pro-Jeb crowd to jump in here, like they always do, and hammer away at Trump for not using proper decorum.

Trump is a pro at generating free round the clock advertising for his candidacy. His polls will keep rising higher and higher.

Unfortunately, the word racist is used way too much these days.

But is nice to see it tossed back at the Left for a change. Unfortunately, it diminishes its meaning even further but it forces the Left to pause for a second. I bet the response will be: “hey, he can’t say that.”

He's making a wondrous mess of things by fouling up their program.

I'm enjoying it immensely.

baldly racist xenophobia


So now standing up for the laws and the citizens is described as above?

So I guess Mexico is the same since they enforce their laws and borders........

I haven't figured out what Trump really is up to. I have not correctly sussed out his motivations.

BUT I LOVE HIS STYLE AND HIS BEHAVIOR.

You mean the GOP-e don't you?

Trump is playing them like a piano. The others, less Cruz are watching the Corporate maestro's baton.
