President Donald Trump on Tuesday forced hundreds of top US military leaders to leave their posts around the world to attend a rally-the-troops speech in person at a likely cost of millions.
And what did he talk about? Among other things, the N-word. Or words, because, according to Trump, there are actually two.
“There are two N-words, and you can’t use either of them,” Trump helpfully explained to every top general and admiral in the US military. “You can’t use either of them.”
Just seconds prior to that proclamation, Trump had used one of the N-words repeatedly during a separate ― and also weird ― rant in which he described what a nuclear submarine is and bragged about getting to move them around the world.

“I sent a submarine, nuclear submarine, the most lethal weapon ever made. Number one, you can’t detect it, there’s no way. We’re 25 years ahead of Russia and China in submarines. Russia is actually second in submarines. China’s third. But, you know, they’re coming up. They’re coming up. They’re way lower in nuclear, too. But in five years, they’ll be equal. They’re coming up. And you don’t have to be that good with nuclear,” he said.
After repeatedly slipping in the “N-word,” Trump seemed to reference Russian President Vladimir Putin and then proceeded to disclose the locations of US submarines that are “undetectable” — unless, of course, the commander in chief points out their locations for adversaries on the map.
“But I announced that, you know, based on his mention of nuclear, and it was really a stupid person that works for — I mentioned the word nuclear. I moved a submarine or two, I won’t say about the two, over to the coast of Russia, just to be careful. Because we can’t let people throw around that word. I call it the N-word.”
Trump closed out his rambling about submarines by again bragging that the US fleet “doesn’t allow detection” thanks to a “genius apparatus.”
“It’s undetectable. Ours is. Theirs isn’t,” he said. “Theirs are totally detectable. We can detect them easily. We go right to the spot. But we have genius apparatus that doesn’t allow detection. It doesn’t allow detection at all by anybody, above water or below water. It’s incredible. We’re way ahead of everybody on that. And other things.”
