President Donald Trump on Tuesday forced hundreds of top U.S. military leaders to leave their posts around the world to attend a rally-the-troops speech in person at a likely cost of millions.
And what did he talk about? Among other things, the N-word. Or words, because, according to Trump, there are actually two.
“There are two N-words, and you can’t use either of them,” Trump helpfully explained to every top general and admiral in the U.S. military. “You can’t use either of them.”
Just seconds prior to that proclamation, Trump had used one of the N-words repeatedly during a separate ― and also weird ― rant in which he described what a nuclear submarine is and bragged about getting to move them around the world.
“I sent a submarine, nuclear submarine, the most lethal weapon ever made. Number one, you can’t detect it, there’s no way. We’re 25 years ahead of Russia and China in submarines. Russia is actually second in submarines. China’s third. But, you know, they’re coming up. They’re coming up. They’re way lower in nuclear, too. But in five years, they’ll be equal. They’re coming up. And you don’t have to be that good with nuclear,” he said.
