He said that as a way to bring ratings up, he thought of bringing race as a major factor in a season of "The Apprentice." He said that he wanted to group by teams by racing, which would make a "Black" and "White" team.
He said, "An idea that is fairly controversial -- creating a team of successful African-Americans versus a team of successful whites. Whether people like that idea or not, it is somewhat reflective of our very vicious world."
Fortunately, the show concept never came to be. Trump stated that other people did not think it was a good idea to bring the show to life. This has fueled the public perception that Donald Trump is racist.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren previously shared her sentiments about Trump's racism, explaining that that is how he build it campaign. On her official Twitter account, she stated, "Here's what else is real: @realDonaldTrump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia."
In addition, she said, "There's more enthusiasm for @realDonaldTrump among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls."
