This may be appropriate, but is it really worth a two-column, top half, and center of page article in the national newspaper of record? The conduct may be unbecoming of a President. This was pointed out in an opinion piece in, of all places, Fox News, Trump calls Stormy Daniels 'Horseface' in a tweet – Why has this kind of insult become the new normal? But it was captioned "Opinion by Leslie Marshall | Fox News."

But was calling a large number of working-class people a "basket of deplorables" any better?

We should add a thread titled How The Left Demeans Donald Trump. Calling him Orange Ape, Stupid, Evil, Hitler, etc etc.

I thought horseface was kind of funny.

Yes, I think it's important to be clear about what a mean, bullying, vulgar misogynist the president is.

And, yes, "deplorable" was actually a great term. She could have used vulgarities like Trump. She could have implied they were incorrigible. But she didn't. She just made it clear that they have ideas and standards that are deplorable, and that any time they choose, they could become decent people.

I guess it didn't occur to you to ask whether it was appropriate for a president to be so petty, vicious, crude, and vindictive?

Honesty is to recognize that name calling is better than rape and pimping.

I just think it is stupid and unfitting of the office of President to say that.

What about the right on Hillary, Warren or Obama? Don't act like one party is guilty and the other isn't.

That’s not to say I defend his language. I voted for Cruz in the Primary and honestly didn’t think Trump had a chance. But I also don’t go to movies, watch prime time TV (or Jerry Springer), or listen to rap music.

Are you saying Trumps a liberal?

Or are you saying that it’s okay for Trump to act like an arse? Or are you being racist? I can’t tell.

I guess we’re all going to hell if we do those things you don’t.

The same can be said when the darling of the left Bill Clinton left office. Every president changes the office od POTUS to some degree.

That is a true story about the sitting President of the United States. #murica #MAGA

Is anyone supposed to take insults from someone who welshes on a deal?

Yes, one comment.. while being undoubtedly annoyed and frustrated having to be a target in the continually aggravating environment at that time. If she, or anyone else would have become president, we would not have seen the sort of behavior we have seen with this perpetually bullying and brainless misogynist.
