What about when Drumpf criticized Jon Liebowitz (Jon Stewart) for not using his real name? As it happens, it's this little piece of hypocrisy that inspired the whole Drumpf business in the first place.

Something that Trump would never stoop to.

Well yes it is, but i still say there's a difference between belittling a public figure who will never know you did it (for one thing), and belittling a person to his virtual face.

In Trump's case it is an attempt to marginalize him. An old rhetorical trick.

(IMO, he does a fine job all by himself!)

I don't mind the term "Drumpf".

Gives me cover for when I use "The Hildebitch".

I find that a little curious thought after a single gunman took out a bunch of cops.

Getting back to my original point, I suspect if all the Jews had been as well armed as your average deer hunter around here there would have been a lot less of a Holocaust.
