This is a false analogy (and perhaps a bandwagon fallacy as well). If very misguided African-Americans refer to themselves as an epithet because either they don't know better or are attempting to reappropriate a racial term that has been used to denigrate and devalue who they are, that's their choice. However, their own misguided use of the n-word does not give either permission or creative license for other Americans to use it. The historical context of the n-word in the United States from 1776 to Present clearly shows that it was used to marginalize, ostracize, oppress and denigrate African-Americans. It was culturally acceptable to view African Americans as less than, as property (and not people), or at best as Americans worthy of 2nd class citizenship. When you devalue people with epithets, you don't prove their ignorance, you reveal your own. If you use the "n-word" to describe African-Americans, you are using the power of words to put this ethnic group in their "subjugated" place which by definition is racist.

Winston, Trump is no more ruthless than the very Congressional codgers (politicians) who claimed foul when he became President-Elect. The 2016 election was supposed to be Hilary's coronation. Since she was an establishment candidate, upper crust Wall Street investors, lobbyists, executive members of the business community, and government agencies would know what to expect from her administration. Instead, everyone got a wild joker card with Trump's victory and that scared them because politics is POWER. Politics decides how the power base will be divided; politics ultimately determines who lives and dies on the streets. Several different stakeholders didn't know if they were going to be on the short end of the stick with Trump's policies and that's unnerving when big money (wealth) and the stability of the capital markets are on the line. HRC was "supposed" to win the election. She was denied the Presidency by both Obama and Trump; once bitten, twice shy. Out of touch politicians forgot that when they don't take care of the economics of the voting working poor (especially those displaced in the Russet belt), they risk losing elections that were "no brainers". People often vote with their wallet instead of their conscience. Further, it's a strong testament to where we are heading politically when voters put more faith in a snake oil salesman perpetrating as a real estate mogul than a shady Democratic establishment candidate who is chronically engrossed in scandals. Voters had to ask themselves, "In the matter of Clinton versus Trump, do we take the devil we know or the devil we don't know?" Congress pulled almost all of the levers of government to attack Trump once he became President-Elect. He was too mercurial, inexperienced, unpredictable, and anti-establishment for Congressional, media, and investor tastes. So we have opted to overturn the 2016 election through the machinations of government. I think it's more disturbing when Congress empanels a special counsel as revenge for Trump winning an election than owning the political mistakes that were made in a critical federal election. Trump has been demonized for our current political crisis but he is only part of the problem. We have a political shell game going on between Republicans and Democrats, and the voter keeps on picking an empty shell and they are tired of it!

Irrational exuberance by institutional investors, NEXT EXIT!

Trump's peers already knew he was a charlatan and wasn't as filthy rich as he claimed. Why didn't Forbes do a better vetting process on the members of the list to ensure this type of error doesn't occur year after year? Surely the participant's net worth wasn't based on inquiry alone?!

Stay tuned.

President Trump wanted to verify Putin's claim! Trust but verify. https://www.vox.com/world/2017/1/17/14296414/putin-trump-russian-prostitutes-yes-really

Maybe Trump said it in light of the special counsel that Mueller recently hired for this case. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4617632/Mueller-team-lawyer-brings-witness-flipping-expertise-Trump-probes.html Also, getting a witness to flip is not necessarily a sign of guilt, but could very well be a function of prosecutorial misconduct which is rampant in the Department of Justice to get the verdicts they do.
