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.

    Being more selective is more impactful, I think. Basically, what’s the stuff that really matters? I’d argue this doesn’t, but raping kids and leading insurrections, I’d argue does. Gotta separate the wheat from the chaff.

      Pointing out his past shitty behavior would give a foundation for pushing back when he fucks up now.

      Say if in the debate he mumbles something that sounds like the n word. If he has a history of saying it then excuses like “he said she was a rigger, like she rigged the election” are easier for reasonable people to ignore.
