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
Letterman, that name sounds familiar. Didn't he used to have a highly rated t.v. show back in the 90's? Anyway, he's probably just trying to kiss up to the Hollywood liberals so they will come on his low rated PBS show.
2nd out of what? 2? Celebrating mediocrity. Typical liberal. I bet you think every kid should get a trophy "just for trying".
All late night talk shows.Pretty stiff competition and him and Leno go back and forth for the # 1 spot
Edited for accuracy. A left winger accusing a righty of racism, im stunned by this shocking turn of events.
My biggest weakness as a person I think is overestimating peoples intelligence. I like to think Letterman is average in this dept like most of us but after listening to this guy a couple times when discussing economics or global warming or whatever I can't believe how out of touch this guy is. Notice how he can't comprehend econ 101 towards the end of this clip. <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/JWLXBpousUI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
