Donald Trump’s nephew recalls hearing his famous uncle go on a racist tirade in the 1970s after the retractable top on his white Cadillac Eldorado convertible was slashed in Queens.
“N—–s,” Trump allegedly said. “Look at what the n—–s did.”
Fred C. Trump III makes that claim in a memoir coming out next week titled “All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way,” according to the Guardian, which obtained an early copy of the book.
The author says he wasn’t yet a teenager when the alleged incident occurred outside the Trump family home, but he recounts his uncle being “pissed.”
He claims Donald Trump had no idea who vandalized his car, but said his uncle’s brain “went straight to the place where people’s minds sometimes go when they face a fresh affront.”
A Trump spokesman called the story “fake news” and claimed such reports about the 78-year-old Republican leader have been disproven.
“Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language,” campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told The Daily Beast when asked about the allegation.
Trump III is the brother of author Mary Trump, who also penned a memoir painting their uncle as a dishonest man raised by his abusive father, Fred Trump.
Trump III says he doesn’t recall hearing Fred Trump use the N-word, though he does remembers him using a derogatory Yiddish term for Black people. The elder Trump was detained by police outside a rowdy 1927 Ku Klux Klan rally, but there’s no evidence he was a member of the racist organization, according to USA Today.
Former President Trump found out Sunday he would likely be campaigning against a Black woman as he attempts to be elected to the White House for a second time in November.
President Joe Biden, who beat Trump in the 2020 presidential race, started the week by saying he wouldn’t seek reelection and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor.
Harris started her campaign by stating that as a former criminal prosecutor, she knows “Trump’s type.”
