He's arguably done worse but using the N-word in public and in anger is unpresidented (sp). DemocratSinceBirth Sep 2017 #6

Even decent people have used epithets in private that they surely regret.

and I think it is another shining example of him showing us who he is. He is the same in private as he is in public. Always a racist. I believe we can count on him to use that term in public at some point, he won't be able to help himself. Maybe even today...this NFL thing is morphing into more than even his tiny mind could have anticipated.

of the Apprentice. If you've ever been on a set, you know there can be hundreds of people milling around.

Unless those tapes are of him in a bathroom stall, he wasn't in "private"

You know it. I've seen it normalized too much. I reported someone on fb for calling Michelle Obama a monkey and once again it was not against their rules. IOKIYAR.

just use a forbidden word, and actions do speak louder and cause far more harm.

Beyond that, not much would happen. Certainly McConnell's Senate wouldn't do anything about it.

Either applaud, or by their silence, approve.

My only hope was for the people who either aren't tuned into politics, or don't know much about trumpft.
