Trump campaign pays women less than men
Source: Boston Globe

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has paid men on his campaign staff one-third more than women, while Hillary Clinton has compensated men and women equally, according to a Globe analysis of payroll data for both campaigns.

Trump’s campaign staff is also far less diverse than that of his likely Democratic opponent. Only about 9 percent of his team are minorities, compared with nearly a third of Clinton’s staff.

The Globe analyzed the payroll for both campaigns for April, the most recent month with publicly available data. The snapshot provides clues as to how the aspiring Oval Office occupants might fill a White House team, and to what extent they include people with diverse viewpoints in the inner workings of their organizations.

The women working for Clinton — who account for 53 percent of her total staff — took home an average of $3,710. The men made slightly more, at $3,760. Clinton’s staffers, men and women, made less than the women who work for Trump.

Trump Responds To Accusations Of Racism With Fake Photo Of Black Supporters

Quote:

At a Friday afternoon rally in California, Trump sought to highlight his support from minorities.

“Look at my African-American over there,” he shouted.

He seems to have made things worse, with many noting that his phrasing implied ownership over the man.

One of the major hurdles for Donald Trump to win the presidency is his deep unpopularity among non-white voters. A recent survey found Trump is viewed unfavorably by 86% of black voters and 75% of Latinos.

Trump’s comments about the African American man came after reiterating his belief that a federal judge should be disqualified from presiding over the Trump University fraud case because of his “Mexican heritage.” (The judge was born in Indiana.)

This morning on Twitter, Trump was back at it, highlighting the support of an African-American family.

Just one problem. The photo is fake.

Seriously shameful: Trump's retweeted photo of "supporters" was lifted from @WCPO http://bit.ly/1U10VvT https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/739076562876829696 …

8:15 AM - 4 Jun 2016

It was not taken at a Trump event. Rather, it was taken at the “The 27th annual Midwest Black Family Reunion” held in Ohio in August 2015. The event featured “music, art, chess, children’s games and other activities.”

Last year, Trump attracted controversy when he retweeted fake statistics claiming 81% of white murder victims were murdered by blacks. The actual figure is 14%.

UPDATE JUN 4, 2016 2:21 PM

Speaking to BuzzFeed News, the parents in the photo -- Eddie and Vanessa Perry -- said they are not Trump supporters. They aren't endorsing or publicly supporting anyone. Eddie Perry called Trump's use of the photo "misleading" and "political propaganda."

@revelette2,

The idea that referring to someone as "my" implies ownership is merely stupid. So, if I call someone, "my friend," someone thinks I'm claiming to own him?

Also, for some reason, Trump's enemies never correctly state his position about the Mexican judge. He said that this particular judge seems to have it in for him and he suspects it may be because the judge, being of Mexican ancestry, objects to his (Trump's) position on illegal immigration.

And Trump still wants to build that wall. Some of us see that as racial bigotry and xenophobia.

@cicerone imposter,

If History (and South Park,) have taught us one thing it's that walls don't work, they just build up a false sense of security.

OK, what can you come up with to excuse his lifting an image off the internet and claiming the image is of black supporters? Did he not think the people would recognize themselves?

That is an interesting argument other than the facts don't match up to it.
The timeline of the lawsuit can be found here.
http://zhlaw.com/cases/trump-university/

It was filed in 2010.
A motion to allow for class action was filed in 2012
Trump tried to counter sue for defamation in 2013. The appeals courts said he had no basis for his lawsuit.
In 2014 the court certified the class action lawsuit. It then took a year to send out info to all potential members of those defrauded.
In November 0f 2105, when Trump was considered unlikely to be the nominee, the court held that the case could proceed to trial.

Virtually every presidential candidate has advocated securing the border. Why can't Trump advocate it?

If that is exactly what happened, and I don't trust your reporting, it would be deceptive.

Not with a wall. It's done through customs like all countries of the world.

And how do these facts not match the idea that Trump thinks the judge has it in for him?

What is racist or xenophobic about preventing people from entering the country illegally?

@Brandon9000,

The wall is unnecessary, costly, and idiotic. Only a small minded racial bigot and xenophobe would come up with such an idiotic idea; Trump.

How is using a physical barrier to prevent people from entering the country illegally racist or xenophobic?

@cicerone imposter,

I didn't ask you if it was expensive. I asked you how it was racist or xenophobic.

I don't expect trust. Do your own research on it, the family the image was stolen tweeted their denial of their support. I left links so that anyone can verify it, there are links embedded in the source as well.
