"Dog" quote by Trump. Dogs are animals.

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.

3. Probably not, although he is capable of referring to a white woman

who does not meet his standard of attractiveness in that way, I think. I would not be surprised if he did.

I think he would talk of some woman he though of as ugly as a 'dog' as well as using the proper term for a female dog...if he were angry enough.

Unless Rosie ODonnell, Kristen Stewart, and other women he has called dogs don't count. Remember-he thinks women are less than human, regardless of race.

and openly racist policies.

Zero impulse control. Penchant for using unprintable obscenities and vile insults.

Yeah, Donald Trump NEVER uses racist language.

satisfying insults, the nastier the better, would be just a biiiiiiit of a stretch.

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.

5. I assumed that he called her a "dog" as a round-about way of calling her a "bitch".

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.

8. My dog is a better person than Trump could ever hope to be.

If Trump and my dog were drowning, and I could only save one, I wouldn't even consider Trump.
Not even for a second.

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

is one of his favorite insults, in fact. Here is a link to that post, in which I give examples (Glenn Beck, Kristin Stewart, Eric Erickson, rapper Mac Miller):

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.
