How do you think Donald got away with being a racist in the public sphere for 30 years up until last year?

You say that as if somehow being racist means he'd have his businesses taken away from him or somehow he wouldn't be allowed to be famous if he was racist. I'd wager there are plenty of prominent business people that are somewhere on the racist spectrum, it's just that they're not public about it. At most, they use racist dog whistles for plausible deniability, the same way you see a lot of politicians doing.

No - I'm legitimately asking the question. He had a TV show on what is pretty well known to be a fairly liberal network. Been in the public sphere for a long long time - I just would have thought you'd at least have heard rumors. It doesn't take running for president to make people want to ruin your reputation. Now, I'm not up on celebrity comings and goings at all, but it does seem like something you'd have at least heard about. Maybe you don't until you do.

I also wonder where all these women were that came out accusing him of various things. I definitely don't know all the details, but you'd think that victims with allegations against Trump, a public billionaire, would have tried to settle something with him before it became an issue that would for sur ebe broadcast on national TV during a presidential contest.
