The Trump Organization is not the victim of racist prosecutors. Rather, it's being investigated because it committed an exhaustively documented series of fraudulent acts. jonathanchait writes
Addressing a rally last weekend, former president Donald Trump presented himself as the victim of racist prosecutors. “These prosecutors are vicious, horrible people. They’re racists and they’re very sick. They’re mentally sick,” he bellowed. “If these radical, vicious, racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal,” Trump said, “I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in New York, in Atlanta, and elsewhere.
If you still need a decoder ring, the Trumps habitually attack whomever is prosecuting them as corrupt, but the alleged corruption is usually cast as either akin to Russia or embodying the corruption of American institutions Trump frequently alleges. Eric’s “third world” epithet is a specific reminder that the prosecutors in New York are Black and therefore lack the standing to charge his upstanding family with crimes.
The best defense you could make of the Trump Organization would be that lots of other wealthy people engage in crime too, and Trump is only being singled out because his fame inspired reporters to go out and prove what a huge crook he is. Whatever the merits of that argument, though, it’s a far cry from Trump being the victim of racism.
