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.
Trump 2024 campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung has trashed the claim.
It’s “completely fabricated and total fake news of the highest order,” he told The Daily Beast. “It is appalling a lie so blatantly disgusting can be printed in media.”
Cheung reportedly added: “Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language, and false stories like this have been thoroughly debunked.”
The former president, however, has a long history of racist comments and behavior, despite his claims to be “the least racist person that you have ever met,” and reports have swirled for years of him using the same slur on the set of “The Apprentice,” which he denies.
