The old rogue employee excuse. Sorry! That doesn't work here unless you are going to contend that Trump, who only hires the best people, had rogue mangers at 39 of his properties.
The Justice Department’s 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in New York City. The government alleged that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents, was to rent only to “Jews and executives.”

The case was settled by a consent decree which is typical for this kind of case. Trump agreed to no longer engage in racially discriminatory behavior.
