Trump replied "We need this question."- At a February 2016 rally in South Carolina, Trump told an apocryphal story about U.S. General John Pershing executing Muslim insurgents in the Philippines with bullets dipped in pig's blood, which is considered haram.

He resigned, calling Trump University "a fraudulent scheme" that "preyed upon the elderly and uneducated."- A training guide instructed Trump University sales staff to target vulnerable groups, such as "a single parent of three children that may need money for food," and then pressure these individuals to max out their credit cards to pay for the costly courses.- One student, Cheryl Lankford, paid $35,000 from her late husband's military survivor benefits, only to be repeatedly ignored by the mentors she was promised would guide her through real estate transactions.- Another individual described how Trump University was "preying on the elderly" by first luring his 82-year-old father to a "free seminar promising to make him rich through real estate" that was "solely for the purpose of upselling him" into attending a "$1500 three day workshop", and then pressuring the elderly father to spend an additional "$35k MORE", all while the majority of attendees were "SENIORS like him" who were being "tricked into thinking they can make a quick profit."- Another Trump University student, a divorced and unemployed Seattle woman suffering from multiple sclerosis and a recent stroke, was encouraged to max out her credit cards to enroll in more classes.- On November 18, 2016, ten days after the election, Trump agreed to pay $25 million to settle the multiple lawsuits against him.

- From 2011 to 2016, Donald Trump persistently questioned President Obama's birthplace and, by extension, his legitimacy as the nation's first Black president, despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary.- This baseless crusade began on March 17, 2011, when Trump demanded on "The View" that Obama "show his birth certificate."- Even after Obama released his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii in April 2011, Trump doubled down, tweeting in August 2012 that an "extremely credible source" had informed him the document was fraudulent.- He even went so far as to suggest in December 2013 that the death of Hawaii's State Health Director in a plane crash was somehow connected to the birth certificate issue.- Only after securing the Republican nomination in 2016 did Trump finally, and conveniently, concede the obvious reality that Obama was born in the United States, an overdue admission he easily could have arrived at years earlier when the same evidence was readily available.
- On July 12, 2019, Trump defended his Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who had cut a plea deal with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein as a prosecutor in 2008, giving Epstein just 13 months in county jail with work release despite a federal indictment detailing his abuse of over 30 underage girls, with Trump stating "I feel very badly, actually, for Secretary Acosta, because I've known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job.”- On April 5, 2017, Trump defended Bill O'Reilly as "a good person" who he didn't think "did anything wrong" after the New York Times revealed that O'Reilly and Fox News had paid $13 million to settle sexual harassment and verbal abuse lawsuits from five women since 2002, resulting in O'Reilly's firing from Fox.- In February 2018, Trump praised former aide Rob Porter as "a man of true integrity and honor" after Porter resigned due to photographic evidence and witness testimony that he had physically abused both of his ex-wives, one of whom had a protective order against Porter and said he had choked and punched her.- In November 2017, Trump fully endorsed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore despite multiple credible allegations that Moore sexually abused teenage girls as young as 14 while in his 30s.- In July 2019, Trump publicly wished Ghislaine Maxwell "well" after she was arrested and charged with aiding Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking of minors, saying "I've met her numerous times over the years" and "I just wish her well, frankly”- After Fox News CEO Roger Ailes resigned in July 2016 amid sexual harassment allegations, Trump defended Ailes, calling him "a very, very good person.”
