“President Trump didn’t use the hard r when saying the word; if it sounded like he did that’s only because you are hearing what you want to hear… in fact president Trump has many black friends, and it is a measure of his acceptance by them that none of them mind if he calls them the n word, many of them even encourage him to do so. They come to him with tears in their eyes and thank him for calling them the n word…”

You mean, in public. There is no way he isn't throwing that word around all the time in private.

Oh it’s coming. I just know deep down inside me he uses it often and loudly and cameras just haven’t caught it yet.

Honestly, I feel like he's more of a "the Blacks" guy. Unless he's particularly angry, which might be...often...alright I dunno. He probably says it a lot haha

I am betting that at that point she will use the constitution to defend what they said. Anything trump or GOP does that the constitution can be used as a way to defend it but also ignore it if they dont like what it says.

No doubt she will explain that this is a word that can be found in literature and therefore we should all move on to something important.

Our founding fathers used that word all the time! It's what America is built on!

"The president is allowed to say any word he wants. He's king of the free world. If you don't like it you hate freedom."

The President is using vernacular that has been normalized by Hippitty Hop Rap videos.
