Donald Trump repeatedly used the n-word in response to his car being damaged in the early 1970s, according to a new memoir by his nephew. 

Fred C. Trump III recounts the incident at his grandparents’ house in Queens in his book All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, according to The Guardian. “‘N—s,’ I recall him saying disgustedly. ‘Look what the n—s did,’” Fred reportedly quotes his uncle as saying.

Wow! I don't care about this at all! I'm a little more concerned about his attempted genocide with Covid and literal fascist ideology than a bad word from 50 years ago, thanks nephew.

There are also allegedly tape of him using the slur during Apprentice filming. I don't see how this even matters, his voters have absolutely no problem with his racism. It's a feature.
