Lets say Mr. Trump did call him that is it a bad word? I know the left but mostly blacks will call other blacks who are conservative and successful an “Uncle Tom” but is it actually a bad or racist term?

They call Herman Cain that and Ben Carson among others but I have never seen the media outrage over it or an article written up about it.

You are right. After I posted my earlier reply, I remembered that “Uncle Tom” is usually an epithet hurled at blacks who dare to step off the plantation and seek success, most often by other blacks.

Given the usage of the term, it does not seem plausible that Donald Trump would have called him that. There is no context in which Lil Jon’s claim makes sense.
