Trump has a penchant for referring to non-white people as animals. So, his calling Amorosa a "dog" is just part of that. That tells me that he has no qualms about using the N-word and other racial pejoratives in speech when he thinks he's speaking in private. Sadly, we have too few people who have the habit of recording conversations, or we'd be hearing him use such words all the time.
Nixon uses racial pejoratives frequently, as well. Few instances were recorded, but more were reported.
He used the N-word. I have no doubt about that. I suspect he used it frequently.

Zero impulse control. Penchant for using unprintable obscenities and vile insults.
Yeah, Donald Trump NEVER uses racist language.

Oh, dear. Michael Steele just sighed on being asked as the black panelist to interpret what calling Newman a dog might mean. He might well.

(31,516 posts)Of course, he might think that referring to someone as a dog would be an insult. I can easily believe that he has a low opinion of dogs.
I don't know how much of Omarosa's story is true, but I don't doubt that Trump uses the N-word, as well as other racist slurs.

Mine are beagles, so they're not terribly bright, but they are loyal to a fault and always ready to forgive human stupidity.

He uses the dog insult for both men and women, and for people of any race. He is certainly a racist, but when it comes to calling people dogs he is an equal opportunity scumbag.
