Well I don't believe that journalist is honest at all. Its easy to start by saying 'i wasn't a fan of trump but...' in reality it's no different to 'im not racist but' If she honestly concluded that trump isn't racist she's either lying or stupid. If she honestly concluded that trump's opinion of Epstein was anything other than positive towards him she is just a liar. Trump accused a judge of being unable to make fair judgements because the judge was Mexican. He claimed that it Obama's birth certificate 'maybe' had Muslim as his religion and that 'may' be bad for him. He has been charged and paid a settlement for refusing to rent property to black people. On his refusal to rent to black people he said "you wouldn't want to live with them either" He was fined after his hotel and casino was proven to discriminate against black customers. Actually removing them from tables solely due to skin colour. The fine was appealed and the appeal thrown out. His former employees accused him of ordering all black people out of his casino when he was there with one stating that trump said he doesnt want black people counting his money. The only people he wants counting his money are Jews and that laziness was a trait of "the blacks". Claims which trump admitted were "probably true" On Epstein he is on record as saying "he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side". That's about as clear cut as you can get. No amount of 'im not a fan of trump but...' will change that
And as for his philanthropy, this is the same trump who was fined $2m for illegally using charity money for himself
Yes that's exactly what he meant. His tweet was like a picture of him in Italy eating a pizza with the caption 'when in rome'. The full phrase is when in Rome do as the Romans do but only the start is used with the assumption people know the rest
