Racism:
He claimed that a judge that was hearing his case wasn't capable of doing his job because he is Mexican:

His companies were sued twice by the US Justice Department for refusing to rent his properties to African Americans, and making sure that his Housing Superintendents knew that was the company policy:

He literally refused to denounce and refuse support from David Duke and the Klu Klux Klan until the backlash became too strong:

His racist birther crusade attempting to undermine the legitimacy of Barack Obama (then lying about who started it and absurdly taking credit for ending it):
Here's a list of his actual tweets.
Sharing and retweeting Anti-Semitic meme (then, again, lying about where it originated):

For more, see the Central Park Five, the "where's my African American" incident, calling Mexicans rapists and murderers, etc, etc, etc.
Sexism:
An unending string of tweets calling women pigs, pieces of ass, fat, cows, and more.
His crusade against Megyn Kelly, saying that she was mean to him and "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her wherever."
His comments about Carly Fiorina, one of the Republican Presidential candidates: “Look at that face. Would anyone vote for that? ... Can you imagine that, the face of our next next president? I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not supposed to say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?"
His comments recently about Time Magazine's Person of the Year. It used to be Man of the Year. He said he liked it better as Man of the Year, and then implored the crowd to agree.
His well known, and well documented history with female employees:

etc, etc, etc
Ablism:
Trump Mocking Serge Kovaleski:

When Charles Krauthammer (a right wing analyst) criticized him he said: “I went out, I made a fortune, a big fortune, a tremendous fortune … Then I get called by a guy that can’t buy a pair of pants, I get called names?”
Allegedly calling deaf people retarded:

Is that enough? There's more.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
