1. Nephew claims Trump used the N word repeatedly

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 didn’t 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 people’s minds sometimes go when they face a fresh affront. Across the racial divide,” Trump III noted of the moment, according to The Guardian.

Fred is just confirming what many of us already knew. Good on him, though. The more people that do it, the better.

They've been scammers and criminals going back generations. Trump's paternal grandfather was a pimp out West.

A WH meeting on disabilities had adjourned...

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-nephew-disability-memoir-b2585139.html

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-president’s request.

His uncle greeted him: “Hey, pal — how’s 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 they’re 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 aren’t the only ones revealed by the ex-president’s nephew in the new book.

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.

There is so much documented material for them to choose from but a family member's memories might make to the forefront. I predict that future writers will not be kind to this country's citizens who were "followers".

Mary Trump's book was pretty popular. Can't wait to read this one. What a great time for it to be released.
