Mary Trump Recalls Trump's Mother Calling Elton John A LITTLE F*GGOT, Deciding Not To Come Out
Mary Trump, Donald Trump's niece whose Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man sold a record-breaking 950,000 copies its first day, recalls in the book how hearing Trump's mom utter a gay slur helped her decide not to come out as a lesbian to her family.
Via The Guardian: The author also stresses that Trump’s prejudices mirrored his parents’. Both Trump and his father were sued by Richard Nixon’s justice department, for housing discrimination.
Mary Trump also contends that Fred Sr regarded “Jew” as a verb and was “scandalized” when “the first Italian American family moved into the neighborhood.” Trump’s mother, she writes, derided Elton John as a “little faggot”.
