At the pair's second debate, on Thursday, Trump denied the accusations and said he was least racist person in the room.

Trump's Sept. 22 executive order forbid the teaching by federal agencies of"divisive concepts" including that the United States is"fundamentally racist or sexist."The U.S. State Department has suspended all training programs for employees related to diversity and inclusion, an internal cable obtained by Reuters showed, after President Donald Trump directed federal agencies last month to end programs deemed divisive by the White House.

"The pause will allow time for the Department and Office of Personnel Management to review program content," it said. The order followed a Sept. 4 memo from the White House Office of Management and Budget that told officials at federal agencies they could not use taxpayer dollars to fund"un-American propaganda sessions" that provided instruction about critical race theory, white privilege or"taught that the United States is an inherently racist or evil" country.The move comes less than two weeks before the Nov. 3 U.S.

"And really, they were teaching people to hate our country and I'm not going to do that," Trump said at the Sept. 29 debate."They were teaching people that our country is a horrible place."
