As we discussed, Donald Trump’s nephew Fred Trump III has written a book about the terrible, toxic Trump clan. The book is called All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way. Fred Trump released an excerpt of the book to Time Magazine, and in that authorized excerpt, Fred shared his uncle’s thoughts on people with disabilities. Donald Trump believes people with disabilities “should just die.” Well, unsurprisingly, the Guardian also got their hands on an advance copy of the book. Fred Trump also reveals that Donald Trump regularly said the n-word.

In a new book, Donald Trump’s nephew recalls the future US president, at the start of his New York real estate career, surveying damage to a beloved car and furiously using the N-word. The shocking scene appears in All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way by Fred C Trump III, which will be published in the US next Tuesday. The Guardian obtained a copy.

Allegations of racism have followed Trump through his life in business and politics. Rumours persist that tape exists of Trump using the N-word during his time on The Apprentice, the hit NBC TV show that propelled him towards politics, though none have emerged. Omarosa Manigault Newman, a Black contestant, has said she has heard such a tape. Trump denies it.

On Wednesday, in a statement to the New York Times, Trump’s spokesperson, Steven Cheung, called Trump III’s account “completely fabricated, and total fake news of the highest order”, adding: “Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language, and false stories like this have been thoroughly debunked.”

Nonetheless, Trump III describes in detail a stunning moment he says happened in the early 1970s at the house of his grandparents, Donald Trump’s parents, in Queens, New York.

It was “just a normal afternoon for pre-teen me”, Trump III writes, but then his uncle arrived.

“Donald was pissed,” Trump III writes. “Boy, was he pissed.”

Trump says his uncle showed him his “cotillon white Cadillac Eldorado convertible”. In its retractable canvas top, “there was a giant gash, at least two feet long [and] another, shorter gash next to it”.

“‘N—ers,’ I recall him saying disgustedly. ‘Look at what the n—ers did.’

“‘I knew that was a bad word.’”

His uncle, Trump III writes, had not seen whoever damaged his car. Instead, he “saw the damage, then went straight to the place where people’s minds sometimes go when they face a fresh affront. Across the racial divide.”

Back in May, on the same day Donald Trump was convicted of 34 counts of falsifying business records, Salon published a first-person account of the first time Trump used that word on the set of The Apprentice. He did so in a closed, unfilmed meeting and he used that word to refer to Kwame Jackson, one of the contestants. The huffing and puffing from Trump’s team about how Trump has never, ever used that word means nothing. He’s used that word many times, in many different circumstances, over the course of decades. So much of Trump’s whole f–king deal is built on racism and white grievance and white fragility. That’s what he’s always sold to his cult, and that’s what his cult has always bought.
