He doesn&#8217;t need to use the N-word to be a racist.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Nixon (who said such stuff in the privacy of the Oval Office), can anyone name another president who used such language and insults publicly about anyone?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s even more surprising is that there are people defending the President and his rhetoric. And for them, I have this cautionary tale:<\/p>\n<p>Omarosa was a trusted and loyal advisor to the President. As soon as she was fired, he turned and is now referring to her in such an insulting way.<\/p>\n<p>Of all of you who are loyal to a man undeserving of such loyalty &#8211; do NOT be surprised when you fall out of favor and he turns on you.<\/p>\n<p>And in the end, I have to say that the president wants to look macho and tough, but it reflects the most poorly on him: If she was so &#8220;crazed,&#8221; why would he ever give her a job in the White House? If, for the benefit of the doubt, she was unqualified to begin with, then shame on him for hiring her in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, this man has his finger on the nuclear button.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A lot was made this week of Omarosa&#8217;s claim that she heard President Trump use the N-word.
