'That's why Putin's the boss!' Trump rants about 'N word' from Russian ex-leader
President Donald Trump again referenced the word "nuclear" as the "N word" Monday before berating former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for using it.
Trump posted to Truth Social, "Did I hear Former President Medvedev, from Russia, casually throwing around the 'N word' (Nuclear!), and saying that he and other Countries would supply Nuclear Warheads to Iran?" Trump asked.
He continued, "Did he really say that or, is it just a figment of my imagination? If he did say that, and, if confirmed, please let me know, IMMEDIATELY. The 'N word' should not be treated so casually. I guess that’s why Putin’s 'THE BOSS!' By the way, if anyone thinks our 'hardware' was great over the weekend, far and away the strongest and best equipment we have, 20 years advanced over the pack, is our Nuclear Submarines. They are the most powerful and lethal weapons ever built, and just launched the 30 Tomahawks — All 30 hit their mark perfectly. So, in addition to our Great Fighter Pilots, thank you to the Captain and Crew!"
Trump first made the "N word" reference last month in a quip to Fox News's Bret Baier.
When talking about the bad blood between India and Pakistan, Trump said, "It was tit for tat. And it was getting deeper and more — I mean, more missiles. 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?"
Baier replied, "Nuclear," before they snickered at the reference for a racial slur. "Thank you for the clarification."
"I figured you'd want to clean that up. No It's the N word. That's a very nasty word, right? In a lot of ways. The N word used in a nuclear sense, it's the worst thing that can happen," Trump said.
