What is funny to me is Trump gave it legs. The comment would have disappeared had Trump done nothing.

exactly. which is why i'm curious if trump is doing this as a calculated move to gain headlines/exposure or if it was a knee-jerk reaction to defend his ego.

Oh, I dont disagree. My opinion of him has rapidly declined over the past few years. Trump is all about Trump, I get that. And he shouldve just ignored this garbage. That being said, while expect this sort of crap from people like Maher and for some on the left to eat it up and think its hilarious, I still find it sad yet telling. And unfortunately, a direct reflection on our society where this type of stuff is seen as "comedy".

Because, of course, it is so much more offensive than calling the President a monkey, or Photoshopping his wife into a chimpanzee.

Your double standard disgusts me.

MY double standards? First off, I didnt make those comments. And I dont give those people my attention or time.

People who cant make points with out vulgarity towards others are complete losers. I dont care how much some in our society celebrate them. If you have to use the f word or the c word to get a point across, its time you grow up.

But of course, someone who acts and talks like he's a 12 year old, is your cup of tea, apparently.

I don't suppose you'll ever rise to a status where you'll realize folks like Trump have lawyers on staff/retainer.

Sounds like someone's defensive over their own mom's simian dalliances. Might wanna check a genealogy site to see if you have a little Dr. Zaius in the family tree.

Seriously though it's an old trick made famous by the 36th president of Mexico, El BJ. He'd call his opponent a pigf--ker, which his then none-too-bright counterpart would try to refute, only winding up connecting his name and porcine intercourse in voters' minds. Trump, as befitting a man of his formidable intellect, fell for quite possibly the oldest gag in the book.
