In his upcoming memoir, Fred Trump, nephew of former President Donald Trump, recalls that his uncle used racial slurs at the beginning of his billion-dollar New York real estate career.
Fred wrote that Donald Trump, now 78 years old, angrily used the N-word while falsely accusing Black individuals of vandalizing his Cadillac convertible. The incident reportedly took place in the early 1970s at the home of Donald’s parents in Queens, New York.
“It was ‘just a normal afternoon for preteen me,’” Fred pens in his new memoir All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way scheduled for release July 30, the Guardian reported. When Donald entered his parent’s home, Fred recalled seeing his uncle “pissed” and furious. The Apprentice host would later reveal that he believed Black people defaced the retractable canvas top of his Cadillac Eldorado convertible.
“There was a giant gash, at least two feet long [and] another, shorter gash next to it,” wrote Fred, who allegedly heard his Uncle Donald shouting, “‘N*****…Look at what the n*****did.’”
Then, like now, he did not share any credible evidence but even if there was, why call them the N-word?

This isn’t the first time that Donald Trump has been accused of using a racial slur.
In late May, Bill Pruitt, a former producer behind Donald’s hit show The Apprentice, alleged that the billionaire real estate mogul used the N-word to describe Kwame Jackson, a Black finalist on the first season of the reality TV series, CNN reported.
The allegation echoes long-standing claims about Donald Trump. Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former contestant on The Apprentice and aide in the Trump White House, asserted during the promotion of her book in 2018 that she had listened to a recording where Trump used a racist term, although the tape has never been confirmed.
According to Pruitt, while discussing who would win the first season, Donald allegedly said, “‘Yeah,’ he says to no one in particular, ‘but, I mean, would America buy a n— winning?’” Pruitt stated that he was among four producers bound by a nondisclosure agreement, which he claims expired in 2024 and carried a potential fine of $5 million.
Donald Trump’s racism against Black folks has been well-documented.
Donald Trump has faced persistent accusations of racism throughout his career. The former president published in 1989 – calling for the death penalty to be instated – after the Exonerated Five were wrongfully convicted for the brutal NYC rape of Trisha Meili, a white jogger. To make matters even worse, the controversial real estate tycoon did not apologize for the hateful ad campaign after the Five were exonerated in 2022.
It’s no secret that Trump refused to rent to Black tenants in the late ‘60s and falsified apartment ads to prevent Black applicants from applying. We also can’t forget the harm and danger that he placed upon Wandrea “Shaye Moss” and her mother, Ruby, after he accused the Georgia-based election workers of voter fraud.
Moss and Ruby were subjected to death threats and forced to quit their jobs after the former president and his supporters accused the mother and daughter duo of tampering with votes to support Democrats during the 2020 presidential election. Trump allegedly called Ruby a “hustler” and “a professional vote scammer,” NBC News noted. Thankfully, their names were cleared from the baseless investigation in 2022.
