I doubt Trump himself has actually heard about any of this, but if he did happen to hear that feds were prosecuting for 'housing discrimination', I'm SURE his knee jerk reaction would be, "That's what they did to my dad! Not on my watch!"

In another case, a predominantly white Michigan township allowed an asphalt plant to open on its outskirts, away from its population centers but near subsidized housing complexes in the neighboring poor, mostly Black city of Flint.

Unlike his dad, these cases aren't about denying housing to minorities, but mostly about doing harm to places that already have minorities. Again, I doubt he knows that, but I bet that Stephen Miller would make sure Trump approved, if needed.
