He wasn't running for office then, though he has toyed with it since the 80s, hinting he was going to run then ultimately not. All the same, politician or not, he hasn't changed since then. While a candidate for president, he retweeted a "crime statistic" that said 81% of white murder victims were killed by black people. The actual number is 15%; whites are killed by whites 82% of the time. When it was pointed out how terrible wrong it was, he didn't apologize -- in fact, he just said, I didn't say it, I just retweeted it, as if he bears no responsibility for the things he amplifies with his megaphone. The fact that he read the tweet and his BS detector didn't go off tells you that that fake news is consistent with his internal view of the world. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/23/donald-trump/trump-tweet-blacks-white-homicide-victims/ https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov...
