1. A thought experiment. What if there was a hot mic moment capturing Trump using the n-word. What would happen?
2. The Federalist would publish an article saying "What about all the other presidents who have used the n-word?" Special focus given to Democrats like Truman, LBJ & Obama.
3. Tucker Carlson would devote some episodes to rap music and ask, "if THEY can use it, why not Trump?"
4. The Wall Street Journal op-ed page would have lots of pieces by Heather MacDonald on black-on-black crime & the war on cops.
5. The New York Times would publish an op-ed asking whether squeamishness over the the n-word isn't a sign of out-of-touch liberalism.
6. Paul Ryan would furrow his brow and mutter "unfortunate." Mitch McConnell would titter nervously.
7. There will be many, many such think pieces:
8. In sum, a world where there is a recording of Trump using the n-word would be no different in any way than the one we live in.
