(18,272 posts)A nephew of Donald Trump reportedly recalls in his upcoming memoir the time in the early 1970s when his uncle allegedly used a racial slur after finding two gashes in the canvas roof of his Cadillac Eldorado convertible.
N*****s, I recall him saying disgustedly. Look what the n*****s did, Fred C. Trump III reportedly remembered his uncle raging to him as written in his book All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, which the Guardian published an excerpt from on Wednesday. The book is scheduled for release on July 30.
Then-real estate developer Donald Trump didnt actually know who was responsible for the damage, said his nephew, whose sister is a vocal Trump critic, Mary Trump.
But the current GOP presidential nominee still went straight to the place where peoples minds sometimes go when they face a fresh affront. Across the racial divide, Trump III noted of the moment, according to The Guardian.

Following the meeting, Fred III recounts how after meeting he was ushered back into the Oval Office with his uncle and Azar at the then-presidents request.
His uncle greeted him: Hey, pal hows everything going?
Fred III told him things were good and thanked him for meeting with him.
At that point, he writes that the then-president started to speak again.
Those people ... Donald said, trailing off. The shape theyre in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die, he recalled.
Fred III added that at the time, he truly did not know what to say.
The shocking comments about people with disabilities arent the only ones revealed by the ex-presidents nephew in the new book.

(1,406 posts)As an author, disabilities advocate, former public speaker and law-school educator initially trained by the DOJ and EEOC on the new ADA that President Bush signed into law that historic day in July 1990, while not surprised, I am still horrified by all the damage DJT has done to so many Americans on so many levels.
We can do better. We have done better with President Biden. (Thank you, thank you, thank you, Joe Biden. Love you.) And I foresee we will do even better with President Harris plus majority control in the House and Senate.
