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.

    Racial slurs in the 70s isn’t anything. Digging up stuff from 50 years ago makes the left look unhinged.

      My parents were adults in the 1970s. They sure as shit didn’t use the n bomb. The whole ‘it was a different time’ thing extends only so far.

        Its less that saying the n-word was OK back then and more that Trump is already known to be a piece of shit so this isn’t at all surprising information.

          I think it’s important to publicly document what a piece of shit he is dating back as a lot of it was only known to NYers

      Democrats can’t even remember Kamala ruining lives over marijuana. They are desperate for her to be their savior now they can’t even remember just a week ago they were saying only Joe could win it.

        Harris ruined lives by prosecuting just less than 2000 people for marijuana offences. There were somewhere around 2,000,000 people arrested for marijuana offences while Trump was president.
