Trump Discusses 'The N Word' On Fox News — And It's Not What You Think It Is

Donald Trump weighed in on the “N-word” on Friday, and no, not the racial slur.Trump, in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, was discussing recent developments in the India-Pakistan conflict before bizarrely referring to the word “nuclear” with a suggestive nod to the racial slur — a stunt he once pulled at a 2022 rally and in pastinterviews on the network.“It was getting deeper and more, I mean, more missiles. Everyone was stronger, stronger, str — to a point where the next one’s going to be you know what, the N-word. You know what the N-word is, right?” Trump asked Baier.“Nuclear,” said Baier while looking at the floor.“Yeah,” said Trump before cracking a smile and laughing.“Thank you, thank you for the clarification,” replied Baier before smiling as well.“I figured you would want to clean that up,” Trump remarked.Trump continued to refer to nuclear as the “N-word,” adding that it’s a “very nasty word” in “a lot of ways.”“The N-word used in a nuclear sense,” he said before turning back to talk of the conflict.“That’s the worst thing that can happen. And I think they were very close. The hatred was great.”Trump on India-Pakistan: "Everyone was stronger, stronger-- to a point where the next one was gonna be you know what. The n word. You know what the n word is, right? It's the n word. That's very nasty word, right? In a lot of ways. The n word used in a nuclear sense." pic.twitter.com/ed920GKmKV— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 16, 2025Trump’s recent comments arrive about a year after he faced renewed questions over his alleged use of the racial slur on the set of “The Apprentice.”Omarosa Manigault Newman, a former contestant on the reality show and an ex-White House aide in Trump’s first term, claimed on a 2018 book tour that she heard a recording of the president using the N-word on the show.Trump told reporters at the time that Newman was a “lowlife.” Then, in a post to X, formerly Twitter, he stressed that there were no such tapes of him using “such a terrible and disgusting word.”“I don’t have that word in my vocabulary, and never have,” he wrote.Last May, former “Apprentice” producer Bill Pruitt claimed the future president used the racial slur while discussing Kwame Jackson, a Black contestant on the show.Steven Cheung, then-Trump campaign spokesperson and now-White House communications director, said at the time that the accusations were part of a “completely fabricated and bullshit story.”
