Could President Trump Author this White Supremacy Flyer?

You decide: Could our president have authored this flyer left by a white supremacist group at an AT&T workplace? The case is Curry v. SBC Communications, Inc., 669 F.Supp.2d 805 (E.D.Mich. 2009). Here is the "flyer" displayed at work:
There are African Americans, 
Mexican Americans, 
Asian Americans, 
Arab Americans, 
Native Americans, etc.
... And then there are just—Americans.
You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.
You Call me ‘White boy,’ ‘Cracker,’ ‘Honkey,’ ‘Whitey’ ‘Caveman,’
... And that's OK.
But when I call you Nigger, Kike, Towel head, Sand-nigger, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or, Chink,
... You call me a racist.
You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?
...
If we had a White Pride Day
... You would call us racists.
...
You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and red, and you're not afraid to announce it.
But when we announce our white pride ... You call us racists!
You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.
But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of society
... You call him a racist.
I am proud .... But, you call me a racist.
Why is it that only whites can be racists?
*******

By the way, the “poem” was not the only incident of racial harassment. A noose was also hung in this workplace. The court allowed the black plaintiffs to proceed to a trial on the issue of racial harassment.
