David Letterman calls Donald Trump 'racist'
by James Hibberd
David Letterman accused real estate mogul, Celebrity Apprentice star and possible political candidate Donald Trump of being a racist on last nightâs edition of CBS Late Show.
Letterman was talking to guest Dr. Phil, whoâs apparently friends with Trump, when he said this about Trumpâs suggestion that President Obama somehow unfairly got into Harvard Law School:
âItâs all fun, itâs all a circus, itâs all a rodeo, until it starts to smack of racism. And then itâs no longer fun,â Letterman said.
âSo you thought it was racism?â Dr. Phil asks.
âWell, yes,â Letterman replied. âDo you consider him to be a racist?â
âI do not,â Dr. Phil responded.
âHow can you say things like that if youâre not a racist?â Letterman asked.
âI donât think he always thinks everything through,â Dr. Phil said. âI think sometimes heâs a little from the hip, and I donât think he has a racist bone in this body.â
Letterman added that if Trump comes on his show again, he âought to be prepared to apologize.â
