President Trump’s son shut down his father’s critics with just one simple sentence on Wednesday, telling those who accused the Commander-in-Chief of “racism” following his “tough talk” in immigration that the President sees just one color… green.
Eric Trump was speaking with Fox News when he was asked to comment on the media’s breathless allegations that his father’s “tough” dialogue on immigration showcased the President’s inherent racism.
“People have been calling him a racist for the previous five or six days. I know you don’t agree with that, but is there anything you can bring to this conversation you think is important?” asked Fox & Friends’ Brian Kilmeade.

“My father sees one color: Green,” fired back Trump. “That’s all he cares about, he cares about the economy. He does not see race. He’s the least racist person I’ve ever met in my entire life, it’s total nonsense.”
“At the same time, they’re saying that, they’ll never report that African-American unemployment is the lowest it’s ever been in this country. They won’t give him any credit for that, and by the way, he campaigned on that. But then they’ll go out and call him a racist,” he added.
