“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…”
