It may relate to his upbringing, but few familys are reared in the Kennedy or Bush mold. I'd take what he has to say with a grain of salt.

That presumes there is a political future for any of them after this political disaster. They'll be holding onto their ass and looking to mitigate the damage done to the brand.
They're about money and how they can find a way to rebound from this miscalculation of a decision to make a run at the Presidency.
The Trump brand is so soiled it will have to be rebranded if they have any hope of recovery. Seems they acknowledge that and have already rebranded one of their hotels.

None of these guys seem to realize that talking into a microphone is forever.

Donald's father, Fred was a gross bigot and a swindler as well. Tradition!

Fred was just a product of his time. That time included buying, renting to and rolling over helpless tenants. There were precious few tenant protection laws when Fred was buying, selling and renting properties in New York in those days.
The few tenant protections available were, for the most part, easily evaded or worked around by anyone with a modicum of knowledge of how to play the system, Fred knew the system.
Calling him a bigot isn't really an issue, nor should it be since almost all realtors at that time were bigots of one sort or another and still are to this day. It would be almost impossible to sell real estate today if you were to ignore how the racial makeup of a neighborhood you are selling doesn't factor into that sale.
So realtors are what? Are they bigots, realists or just salespeople who don't give a sh! t?

Fred was an out and out bigot. He did not rent to all sorts of groups he hated. Blacks, Jews, you name it.
By your reasoning, the slaughter of the French Huguenots was okay because the Catholics were 'people of their time'.
