Trump calls a lot of people dog for some reason, it's one of his phrases.
Her actions were very inappropriate. Apparently it wasn't illegal which itself is bizarre. Taping inside the situation room?! It's an egregious national security risk. Not to mention how is anyone meant to govern if they can't speak candidly just in case one of their co-workers is recording them?
She was well out of line.
Trump certainly deserves some blame too since it was never clear what on earth her credentials were to work in the White House other than she was on TV with him. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
The language of the Tweet won't be a problem for him, people are used to that. The hiring decision won't be a problem, people are used to that too. The real question is if any of these tapes exist. The racial one was rumoured in the run up to the election in 2016. However you always get these rumours during an election. In the run up to the 2012 election the internet had this big rumour of Michelle Obama using racist words which never came up.
So we'll see. At the moment the bigger story to me is the national security issue.
