Trump Allegedly Discriminated Against Blacks Renting His Apartments

According to the Department of Justice, Donald Trump and his father Fred allegedly excluded blacks from renting apartments owned by the Trump family.

A 1973 DOJ lawsuit accused the Trumps of violating the Fair Housing Act. One technique the Trumps allegedly used to exclude blacks was to attach a separate sheet of paper to the application that was marked with the letter “C” for “Colored.” Others reportedly included apartment superintendents informing black applicants of rental rates higher that was the case, and using “a sham lease and check to be shown to black applicants.”
