Trump triggers outrage for attacking anti-segregation housing rule: 'More racist by the second'

Trump's new attack on fair housing sparked fury from commenters on social media — some of whom pointed out that Trump and his father were investigated by the Justice Department in the 1970s for denying apartments to Black applicants.
