President-elect Donald Trump‘s jest about procuring a young Black girl’s hair for a hefty sum has been labeled as “racist” by his niece Mary Trump.
What Happened: Last Sunday, Trump encountered the girl at his Florida golf course. The interaction, captured on video, quickly gained traction online, featuring the President-elect inviting the girl to sit in his golf cart and pose for a photo.
Mary Trump, on a recent episode of The Mary Trump Show, condemned the incident as “creepy” and “racist.” She argued that the incident could be interpreted as a “racist trope” and stated that her uncle’s behavior should not come as a shock, considering his track record of contentious remarks.
