Branding expert Donny Deutsch branded President Trump as a racist on Monday.
“What a pathetic, sniveling little man our president is,” Deutsch said on MSNBC. “A coward.”
“Mr. President, can you not condemn those people? Are you in support of that, is that what this is?” Deutsch said, adding that Trump’s response was “so disgusting and repulsive.”
Deutsch and others have been criticizing Trump since Saturday, when Trump condemned “hatred” after a white supremacist rammed his car into a group of people protesting a white supremacist rally, but didn’t say specifically who he was condemning.
Instead, Trump said he condemned “this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides — on many sides.”
“He was almost reading that text, almost like he didn’t want to, and then when he got animated was when he got to the ‘many sides’ part,” Deutsch said.
“He is a racist. He is a racist,” he said. “Can we just say it, once and for all?”
“When we look at his history, when we look at the housing issues, he’s talked about reverse discrimination against whites, the birther movement,” Deutsch said. “We have a racist as a president, because a man that cannot stand up and condemn the Ku Klux Klan and Nazism is a racist.”
