Yeah...he's a real champion for fair and affordable housing.

How Donald Trump
Got His Start, and Was First Accused of Bias

"Over the next decade, as Donald J. Trump assumed an increasingly prominent role
in the business, the company’s practice of turning away potential black tenants
was painstakingly documented by activists and organizations that viewed equal
housing as the next frontier in the civil rights struggle.

The Justice Department undertook its own investigation and, in 1973, sued Trump
Management for discriminating against blacks. Both Fred Trump, the company’s
chairman, and Donald Trump, its president, were named as defendants. It was
front-page news, and for Donald, amounted to his debut in the public eye."
