This said, We generally expect something more verbose than calling a terrorist a 'loser'. It doesn't capture the magnitude of the attack.
This x 1,000,000.

Pretty much. You listen to Teresa May speaking eloquently and with heart. Trump just sounds...

Yeah. What'd he call the terrorists, again? Doodie heads?

Really presidential there, pal.

The losers are the liberals that want to let these people come here. The terrorists are winning.

From what I've heard he typecasts people into "winner" categories (like his father did and raised him to) and "loser" categories. I think terrorists are beyond "losers," but being that his vocabulary is limited, what can we expect?

Yes, they are losers but not in the way most people light interpret it. When people have no hope, they are ripe for brainwashing. The lack of hope in people to a predator is like blood in the water to a shark. They hone in on the smell and go for the kill. It's all about money and power.

We're seeing that here now. With the middle class now almost gone and the wealth gap growing daily, the number of people who are losing hope grows. Our politicians are the sharks and they make promises things will get better if we vote for them. But once in office, only the politicians and their big donors see things get better.

If someone can explain a suicide bomber with a term that fits better than loser I would like to hear it.

I think it's perfect.

It's a bad approach generally, to set up a stupid dichotomy of winners/losers. Life doesn't work that way.

He said he wasn't going to call them "monsters" because they'd like that. So he called them "losers."

Developmentally, he never made it past 5th grade.

Why not call them blood-thirsty murderers? Or terrorists? Or despicable cowards?

Losers. sigh.
