@charliekirk11 III. 1991 book "Trumped!": “I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”

@charliekirk11 VIII. At the White House on Jan. 11, 2018, Trump vulgarly ("shithole countries") called for less immigration from Haiti and Africa and more from Norway. He likes his immigrants to be white! Then he marries them.
