When Trump launched his campaign in 2015, he called Mexican immigrants “rapists’’ who are “bringing crime’’ and “bringing drugs.’’

Trump told The Wall Street Journal in June 2016 that Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel had “an absolute conflict’’ in presiding over litigation concerning Trump University given that he is “of Mexican heritage.’’

The Globe reported in August 2016 that Trump suggested Somali residents in Maine brought crime and fostered terrorists. “We’ve just seen many, many crimes getting worse all the time, and as Maine knows — a major destination for Somali refugees — right, am I right?’’ he said at a rally in Portland.

Before running for president,Trump repeatedly added to the disproven theory that President Obama had not been born in the United States. “An ‘extremely credible source’ has called my office and told me that @BarackObama’s birth certificate is a fraud.’’

During his campaign, Trump also falsely claimed Obama was the founder of ISIS: “He founded ISIS. And I would say the co-founder would be crooked Hillary Clinton.’’

Amid controversy over NFL players who wanted to kneel in support of civil rights causes, he said, “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired. He’s fired!’’’

In the week after the August 2017 white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Va., Trump repeatedly said that “many sides’’ and “both sides’’ were to blame for the violence and chaos that ensued. He also said there were “some very fine people on both sides’’ of the protests.

In January 2018, speaking about immigration in a meeting, Trump reportedly asked, in reference to Haiti and African countries, “Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?’’

Trump has repeatedly referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts as “Pocahontas,’’ exploiting her controversial claims to Native American heritage early in her career.
