Donald Trump: 'I've Always Had a Great Relationship With The Blacks'

[240 is Back]

Donald Trump said on an Albany, NY radio station Thursday morning---

Donald Trump recently granted an interview with NY Post editor Fred Dicker in which he most notably denied reports that he'd be announcing his presidential plans during the season finale of his reality show Celebrity Apprentice. But perhaps the other noteworthy bon mot to come from the lengthy and candid interview was Trump's assertion that he's always enjoyed a great relationship with "the blacks." Efforts to confirm Trump's statement were fruitless as we could not find one individual who could speak on behalf of "the blacks."

Trump said the numbers were troubling and pointed to Hillary Clinton as proof that he probably won't get the kind of support among African-Americans that he deserves.

"I tell it like it is," Trump said. "ou'll hear a political reporter go on and say it had nothing to do with race. But how come she had such a tiny piece of the vote? And you know, it's a very sad thing.

"I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks. But unfortunately, it seems that, you know, the numbers you cite are very, very frightening numbers."

Any truth to the report that trump was asked how many member of congress there are, and he was unable to answer?  Yikes.

Trump probably has more black friends than Romney or Bachmann.

Former Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan is defending Donald Trump against charges of racial insensitivity.

On a conservative radio show Thursday, Trump said that he was concerned that he wouldn’t get many African American votes given President Barack Obama’s high poll numbers with that demographic.

“I have a great relationship with the blacks,” Trump said. “I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”

“I don’t find any malice in what he said in that statement about the black folks,” Buchanan told MSNBC host Chris Jansing Friday. “I mean, I’m a Catholic and if he said ‘I have a great relationship with the Catholics,’ I don’t think I would take great offense.”

“Well, Pat, you know it’s a completely different dynamic,” journalist Karen Hunter objected. “Give me a break.”

“What do you think he meant?” Buchanan asked.

“It’s that thing: ‘you people,’” Hunter replied. “We’re not aliens. We’re Americans.”

“Maybe you’re hearing something Donald Trump didn’t really say,” Buchanan suggested.

“I think you can listen to it and it’s very clear what ‘The Donald’ had to say,” Jansing concluded.

Trump has put more blacks to work than bama ever has.

Trump isn't losing any votes by saying that. Black candidates covet the white vote, not the caucasian american vote. Donald's ok on this one.

The only "blacks" Trump has ever known are his gardener, tae bow instructor and Little Richard. I guess you can say he's had a great relationship with all three.

and don't forget his maids, driver and housekeepers. Of course he has a great relationship with 'the blacks'.  They always address him as Mastuh Trump.
