John Legend claims Donald Trump treats black people as ‘inferior’

John Legend firmly believes that Donald Trump is a racist “to the core” and cites examples of the previous commander-in-chief treating Black people as “inferior.”

A singer who has been awarded again and again by EGOT he spoke with MSNBC’s Jen Psaki on Sunday, April 21, where he sharply criticized Trump for being a “racist” and highlighted instances through which he had shown his alleged bigotry prior to now.

“When we protested the killing of George Floyd, he insisted that the military shoot at us in the streets,” Legend said.

“He made it clear throughout his life that he believed black people were inferior. He believes it deep down, in his bones.

A legendary first example of Trump’s bigotry quotes former defense secretary’s 2022 disclosure Mark T. Esper on Trump asking about shooting Black Lives Matter protesters amid heightened tensions following the murder of George Floyd.

“The president was furious. He believed that the protests made the country look weak, that we looked weak, and that “we” meant him. And he desired to do something about it,” Esper recalls.

“We got to a point in the conversation where he honestly looked at (Joint Chiefs of Staff) Gen. (Mark) Milley and said, ‘Can’t you just shoot at them, just shoot them in the legs or something?’ there was a suggestion and a formal question. At this point we were all surprised because this issue was very much in the air.”

Elsewhere within the meeting, Legend on MSNBC returned to the subject of a 1973 lawsuit through which Trump’s real estate company accused racial discriminationn in renting apartments to black and Latino applicants. Legend used the lawsuit as one other example of how Trump “believes in a genetic hierarchy of humanity and it is racially determined.”

FBI documents activate interview from 1974 with a doorman on the Trump constructing in Brooklyn, where he recalled being ordered to reject potential black candidates.

He said the supervisor “told me that if a black person got here to 2650 Ocean Parkway and asked about an apartment for rent and he (redacted) wasn’t there on the time, I should tell him the rent was twice what it actually was in order that “He couldn’t afford an apartment.”

While in South Carolina in February, Trump made it clear that his support from the Black community had increased within the wake of his criminal trial.

“A lot of people said that’s why black people liked me, because they were hurt so badly and discriminated against, and in fact they saw me as discriminated against,” Trump said. “It was really amazing, but maybe there is something to it.”

He also said his mugshot helped him attract the eye of black voters.
