Trevor Noah believes Donald Trump has shown on various occasions that he "prefers white people," claiming Trump has used his businesses to "oppress black people."
The Daily Show host sat down with BBC Newsnight to discuss a full range of subjects including his life in South Africa, politics, and racism. Among the many topics, Noah talked about how life has been in the rise of Donald Trump. "I think Donald Trump's a challenge and a gift at the same time,” Noah told BBC's, Nick Bryant.
Noah, who took over The Daily Show in the fall of 2015, explained that during his tenure as host, Trump had either been a presidential candidate or the president of the United States. He continued by saying he is well equipped to cover Trump because his actions mimic what he has seen in South Africa.
At the 1:30-minute mark, when asked about his thoughts on author Ta-Nehisi Coates' remarks saying Trump actions show he “might be a white supremacist,” Noah said, “I don’t know if Donald Trump is a white supremacist.”
He added, "I do know that he prefers white people over black people. I do know that he has said on multiple occasions that he doesn’t want black people involved in the counting of his money or the running of his world."
Noah said, "I do know that he has specifically gone out of his way with his companies to oppress black people. I do know that he hasn’t been as quick to react in the aid of black people as he has been with others. I do know that he has supported and continues to retweet white supremacists on his Twitter account. So I always say to people, I go, ‘You tell me.’”
