对的。就AA，共和党在2012年全党公开平台上表态过，大意是赞成以merit和potential为标准，反对给予人种的quote。“We support efforts to help low-income individuals get a fair chance based on their potential and individual merit; but we reject preferences, quotas, and set-asides, as the best or sole methods through which fairness can be achieved, whether in government, education or corporate boardrooms…Merit, ability, aptitude, and results should be the factors that determine advancement in our society.” trump个人更是严厉指责过AA，甚至攻击奥巴马是评肤色上的大学，被民主党、甚至共和党内指责他的言论太过。不过他一向语不惊人死不休。但是这也表明了他对AA的态度。
