An American man, Jesse Pariseau, has recounted an encounter with US President Donald Trump which appears to suggest that the American leader is racist.
Pariseau said in a Monday tweet that Donald prevented a man from boarding his yacht “because he was black”.
Pariseau claimed that the incident happened in 1983 and led to a lawsuit which Trump lost.
He tweeted, I’m going to keep retelling this story so it sinks in. In 1983 Donald would not allow one of my staff engineers on board his yacht because he was black. We cancelled the contract and he tried to sue me for breach of contract. He lost.”
The tweet has been retweeted 27,918 times and liked 50,488 times in less than a day.
Its common knowledge that trump has a deep-seated racist history. So why am I being hung out to dry over a single experience 30 years ago by a couple of right-wing media outlets Someone took my post and planted it on facebook calling me a liar. So be it. Can I ask for a pardon?

Trump has been described as a White supremacist since he began his political career leading to his historic election, a claim he denies.
This story is fake. It is sad that you would use a tweet bashing Trump as a news story.
Not a fake tweet. How can you people be so damn dumb? Check twitter yourselves. It is right there.
Not a fake story. The tweet is real. I think what you mean to say is that it has not yet been vetted or fact-check, but rather, a claim by a person.
Responsible journalists do not publish stories until they have been verified.
Your kidding right?
Fake
Well, it is obvious that the author of this stupid drivel, Mr. John Ogunsemore, is a typical, fake news spouting racist. There is zero proof this ever happened, in fact the original tweeter has tucked his tail and deleted the tweet. Yet this twit Ogunsemore rights a hit piece on Trump using a fake story from 30 years ago. Hey John! You would fit in perfectly with our liberal fake news spouting “journalists” in America…come on over buddy! smh
The tweet (since removed) was real. The story is UNPROVEN!
