Fred C. Trump III reportedly details his uncle’s shocking outburst in a forthcoming memoir.

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.

    I’m not sure we need to hold him responsible for shit he said in the 70s when he raped a child in the early 2000 and lead and insurrection this less than 4 years ago. There is plenty of new things to use against him.

        Probably 80% of the world were saying racist things in the 70s.

        It’s impossible to prove, a fools pursuit.

        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.

      There isn’t evidence that he raped a child. The media investigated and found that the people trying to sell the story were not credible. I don’t like Trump either but to make accusations like child rape without a conviction is bad faith. At least argue in good faith.

        Bet.

        Multiple times trump was recorded saying he wanted to have penetrative vaginal intercourse with his (then underage) daughter.

        Oh, also I haven’t seen anyone in more photos with Epstein (other than his lady accomplice of course).

        Can you connect the dots? Doubt.

          I don’t want to defend Trump, and I am certain you’re correct, but that’s far from clear cut evidence.

        wasn’t trump on like 7 epstein flights including at least one with an underage girl onboard and was referenced just shy of 70 times in the epstein trials? He was known to ogle girls in the dressing rooms for his beauty pageants. Not to mention his “grab them by the pussy” comment and the fact he lost a defamation trial about denying having raped a woman.

        It seems really illogical to say there’s not a lot of circumstancial evidence that reasonable people can conclude he did these things even if it isnt absolute certainty.

        Similar to the child molestation accusations toward Michael Jackson, people will forgive a celebrity they like endlessly in defiance of any rational thought.
