Actor Don Cheadle Says that Donald Trump Referred to Black Women as N***ers

Don Cheadle is known for his embodiment of real and fictional characters for the silver screen. He has built a reputation as one of the world’s best thespians during his multi-decade acting career. He also attended highschool in my hometown, (Denver) a fact for which I am distinctly proud.  Well, now he will become known as the man who was integral to bringing about the inevitable fall of Donald Trump.

During a twitter exchange with Trump supports, Cheadle is asked why he harbors such antipathy towards Donald Trump.  In response Cheadle offers tweets which bring Trump’s inherent racism to light. These tweets are a summary of a conversation that Trump initiated while playing some golf with strangers a while back. The father of Don Cheadle’s friend was in attendance.  It is during this conversation that Trump asks if any of his golfing compatriots had ever engaged in sexual relations with a black woman-he replaces “woman” with the word “n***er”. Cheadle’s tweets have now gone viral:

The evidence is great enough for Cheadle to feel great antipathy toward Trump, because he personally knows the sources.

It is one more small bit of evidence for those who believe in Cheadle.

It is not enough to be a smoking gun that could cause great damage to Trump.

Not even enough to be a water pistol!

It will do no damage, unless someone has it on tape.

It would be over for him and all the repugs who supported him.

He would be done, his family would be done and his business's would be done.

But that would be it for him. There would be no comeback.

That is why it p***** me off, when people come out and say, they heard him say it, or
have seen a video, without producing an actual evidence.

A video of him saying it, and he will be gone.
