The most Trump tea I'll spill for the day is this... when I was 17, I met Mr. Trump for the first time as Miss Teen USA. As the first WOC...

To win the title in almost a decade - I was forewarned prior to meeting him that, "Mr. Trump doesn't like black people. So don't take it..."

"...the wrong way if he isn't extremely welcoming towards you. If he is, then u just must be the "type" of black he likes."

She then witnessed his behavior towards a fellow black contestant.

Now again... I'm 17. Raised in the suburbs of Potomac, MD. Only experienced racism personally ONCE and it was outside of my hometown. SO...

Sure enough after I was warned about him, I saw him in action&witnessed him completely snub a black contestant at Miss Universe rehearsals..

While she was practicing on stage. Literally turned his back to the stage and made a face like he was going to vomit at the sight of her.

Crawford says she was hesitant to meet Trump after witnessing his behavior, but he ended up taking a liking to her.

Luckily for me - I was the "type" of black he liked. He toted me around his buddies who were all there gawking at the Miss Universe girls..

Bragged about how "beautiful" and "well spoken" I was. "She's so smart, look how smart she is" he kept saying. Mind u, baby boy just met me🙄

Of course I was over the moon - my boss likes me. I can survive the next 10 months of this. (I was maybe 2 months into my reign at the time)

Now, Crawford realizes Trump's alleged behavior was nothing to be over the moon about.

But in hindsight, there was nothing to be excited about. This man is running for president of a country with ALL "types" of black.

Trump has yet to respond to Crawford's claims, but there are sure to be some all-caps thoughts coming Twitter's way soon.
