“He was very much the kind of person who would take people of a religion, like Jews; or a race, like blacks; or a nationality, like Italians, and ascribe to them certain qualities. Blacks were lazy, and Jews were good with money,

& Italians were good with their hands—and Germans were clean.”

In 1975 the tRump organization settled—they signed a consent decree, which did not require admission.

By 1978 they were violating the decree & the new case dragged on until 1982, when the original decree expired.

47 years later Jeff Sessions

Sessions issued a memorandum curtailing enforcement programs & consent decrees across the board when it comes to discrimination.

This limits the DOJ’s ability to oversee abusive PDs, environmental issues, voting-rights, & other cases.
