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.

    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
