"This is a secondhand quote, something that someone has alleged that Trump said. So it should be viewed with some skepticism..."
Quote
MR. RUSSERT: And this was a fellow named John O'Donnell who worked with you.
And this is what he said.
MR. TRUMP: By the way, he worked with me. I hardly even know the guy. He did work with me, but I hardly even know them. And he wrote a book and it's ridiculous. But anyway, go ahead.
MR. RUSSERT: He says that and he quotes you as saying: "I've got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else... Besides that, I've got to tell you something else, I think the guy is lazy" referring to a black gentleman.
"It's probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is, I believe that. It's not anything they can control... If anybody ever heard me say that, I'd be in a lot of trouble. But I have to tell you, that's the way I feel."
MR. TRUMP: I never said it. I don't even know...
MR. TRUMP: I hardly know this guy. He was running one of my casinos for a short period of time. He was fired - we fired him because he wasn't doing a very good job. He wrote this nasty book. He made up stuff. This is like Jon Lovitz on "Saturday Night Live," the liar. "I went to Harvard. Yeah, I went to Harvard." This guy, I hardly know him. He made up this quote. I've heard the quote before, and it's nonsense.
MR. RUSSERT: You've never said anything like that?
MR. TRUMP: I've never said anything like it, ever.
