Central Park 5

In the article it implies that Trump still supports the convictions. Actually Trump refused to apologize for running his full page ad. And he thinks the city should not have settled the wrongful prosecution lawsuit. It should be pointed out that the lawsuit was not settled until de Blasio was elected. Were they innocent of course but at the time you had five confessions and yes they were improperly obtained confessions but that doesn't mean Trump should apologize for an ad requesting that the death penalty brought back. Regardless of how you feel about Trump the current wording seems to make it seem that he supported their convictions. He didn't support their convictions he supported the fact that he didn't feel he should apologize for an ad he took out based on his knowledge at the time. Hold him accountable for that don't imply that he still thought they were guilty without at least a quote to that specific fact. 2604:CA00:10A:C036:0:0:1068:F01E (talk) 23:36, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No support for this comment

Trump continued to state, as late as 2019,[12][13] that a group of black and Hispanic teenagers were guilty of the 1989 rape of a white woman in the Central Park jogger case, despite the five males having been officially exonerated in 2002

Nowhere in the supporting documents can I find a statement where Trump said they were guilty he did say they weren't angels. A group of 30 teenagers another young adults enter the park that night to commit various assaults and robberies. The Central Park five were part of that group. While they didn't rape the jogger they we're part of that large group.

That's the thing Trump is referring to about them not being innocent. It wasn't meant to convey that they weren't innocent of the rape it was that they weren't innocent of other wrongdoing that night. Everyone just happens to forget about this because the only case that mattered was the rape case. 2604:CA00:10A:C036:0:0:1068:F01E (talk) 23:51, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to those two sources, citations 12 and 13, when Trump was asked about it in 2019, he said "Why do you bring that question up now? It's an interesting time to bring it up. You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt. If you look at Linda Fairstein and you look at some of the prosecutors, they think that the city should never have settled that case, so we'll leave it at that." That's pretty clearly him refusing to change his previous statements. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:51, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Trump didn't say that Mexican immigrants are bringing drugs or are rapists. In that case he was talking about gang members from MS13. That part should be deleted or atleast this fact should be specified. Emreinfelds (talk) 18:53, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Holy revisionist history, Batman! May I remind you of what Trump actually said? “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” He said "Mexico", not "MS-13". – Muboshgu (talk) 19:09, 3 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
