In 1997, then-successful businessman and best-selling author Donald Trump launched a $100 million dollar lawsuit against the city of Palm Beach for imposing restrictions on him due to his insistence that blacks and Jews were allowed into his Mar-A-Lago club, despite no other Palm Beach clubs allowing them entry.
The old guard of Palm Beach was outraged that Trump was allowing Jews and blacks into his club and the local town council in Palm Beach even imposed restrictions on Trump’s bid to get his club approved.
Trump fought back and exposed the established private clubs in town that refused service to Jews and blacks and had his lawyers send every member of the town council copies of two famous movies about discrimination - “A Gentleman’s Agreement” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner.”
Trump ended up winning the lawsuit, resulting in the racist restrictions being lifted.
In 1997, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) President Abraham Foxman praised Trump’s major accomplishment, saying, “He put the light on Palm Beach. Not on the beauty and the glitter, but on its seamier side of discrimination. It has an impact.”
“Whether they love me or not, everyone agrees the greatest and most important place in Palm Beach is Mar-a-Lago. I took this ultimate place and made it incredible and opened it, essentially, to the people of Palm Beach. The fact that I owned it made it a lot easier to get along with the Palm Beach establishment,” Trump said in a 2015 interview.
Trump’s purchase of Mar-A-Lago is one of the best investments he’s made over his career. In 1985, Trump paid an estimated $10 million for the club. The club is now worth at least $350 million.

Fighting for 12.6% and 2.4% of the population that votes 90+% and 70% for Democrats.
It’s fine that he would allow blacks and Jews into his club, but what is the point of this article?
Blacks and Jews will overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.
One would lose more whites pandering to blacks and Jews than one would gain.
Identity politics are for Democrats.
On the other hand in the early 80sI tried to join a Jewish golf and country club and they fought tooth and nail to keep out anyone who was not Jewish. There was some Rabbi who was a member who basically made it his lifes work to keep me out, then he died and eventually I got to play golf
the point is that accusations that he’s a racist, anti-semite are bull shit as shown by his actions
This info isn't aimed at them. It needs to be disseminated to all the bleeding-heart "independents" who are being told by the lying media that Trump is a white supremacist.
Many of Trump’s kindnesses are now difficult to find on the internet.

… US President-elect Donald Trump donated large sums of many to establish infrastructure to allow the resettlement of Jews evacuated from the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip, Yedioth Ahronoth reported.
Trump made his first contribution to help evacuees from Sinai resettle in the 1980s after the peace agreement with Egypt. His name appears on a list of donors in the Hevel Shalom region, which absorbed the evacuees from Sinai.
Trump later donated to aid the evacuees of the 2005 Gaza “disengagement” in response to an appeal by the Jewish National Fund (JNF).
“KKL-USA sought donations in the US and one of them was sought from Trump, who is considered to be an avowed supporter of Israel, and he donated money toward the establishment of infrastructure in new communities,” said Effie Stenzler, former chairman of the Jewish National Fund.
The funds were used to construct housing and greenhouses and to pave access roads for the new communities.
Trump’s contributions to the resettlement efforts are estimated to be in the millions of shekels (hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars)...
Every Cuban I have ever met is Republican. I met them all while in Engineering school, so that likely skews more conservative.
And then there was the skating rink in Central Park that he completed for NYC, gratis.
None of that mean squat since he went up against Hillary Clinton in 2016,actually 2015.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Funny, the corporate media doesn’t mention this story, or that Trump had a black girlfriend for some time.
It’s easier and more productive to portray him as a bigoted racist.
I thought he did that in the ‘70s.
