Donald Trump's Jeremiah alt-Wright problem

While running for president in 2008, Barack Obama was dogged by negative press over his close relationship with a pastor who had made incendiary and arguably racist, anti-Semitic and anti-American remarks. It almost cost him the election.

This year, accusations of anti-Semitism and racism roiled Donald Trump’s campaign and have followed him into his transition. Trump must learn from how Obama handled his controversy or it could cost him his presidency.
