For example, on June 16, when Trump announced his candidacy, NR roving correspondent Kevin D. Williamson analyzed the event in a piece headlined "Witless Ape Rides Escalator." Williamson called Trump "the most ridiculous buffoon with the worst taste since Caligula." Also: 'a reality-television grotesque with his plastic-surgery-disaster wife, grunting like a baboon about our country's 'brand' and his own vast wealth." And: "not just an ass, but an ass of exceptionally intense asininity." And, of course, a "witless ape."
In August, NR writer Charles C.W. Cooke called Trump a "virus." "A plague is sweeping the land, gathering victims of all shapes and sizes and turning them into fools," Cooke wrote. "Its name â for now â is Trumpism." Cooke has also called Trump "a preposterous little trust-fund wuss" and "a thin-skinned performance artist."

FUNR!
Has National Review ever called the White House infestation witless? Have they ever called any communist-socialist loving libtard anything close?
He still has to face "bargaining," "depression" (the worst) and then finally "acceptance."
He’s mildly bufoonish but compared to NR, he’s Einstein, so they should probably STFU.
I think NRO has said more bad things about Trump than almost any publication out there, yet the RNC has no problem keeping them as debate moderators for the February debate, while at the same time ditching NBC.
Here are some “tough but fair” questions that need to be asked of some of the democrat candidates in their next debate.
- “Hillary, given the fact that you lied {quote her emails to her daughter and Egypt prime minister} at the Benghazi hearings, do you have the moral authority to lead anybody?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you sold out state department classified and top secret information for monetary gain, at what point in time will you be in jail for treason, before, during, or after, the election?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you set up your own email server which is a violation of federal law, should’t you be in jail right now?”
- “Hillary, given the fact that you have violated 15 federal laws on the email server and Benghazi situation, shouldn’t you be sitting in jail right now?”
- “Bernie, you, an avowed socialist, and given the fact in the 20th century, close to 170 million people have been murdered by their own socialist governments, as president of the United States would you be murdering 30 million Americans or 50 million?”
And then turn to Hillary,
- “Hillary, your progressive agenda matches Bernie’s socialist agenda point by point. Since that also makes you a socialist and do you agree with Bernie on the 30-50 million deaths or do you foresee more?”
Isn’t “witless ape” racist?
The people who use terms like that seem to be leftist and political frauds.
Yeah, whatever. I’m about as libertarian as you can get, and that’s what I’ve thought of him for years, including when he was a Democrat. Not upset that he’s in the 2016 race, he’s doing good things for it, just talking about how he presents.
It just shows that Alinsky tactics have slid horribly to the right. Reading these awful comments about Trump - after all, a human being - is disgusting and disheartening. Makes me sad, not for Trump, but for humanity.
A native of West Texas, Williamson studied literature and linguistics at the University of Texas at Austin before joining the Bombay-based Indian Express newspaper chain in 1996. After serving as director of the journalism and media program at the Institute for Humane Studies at George Mason University, he joined National Review in 2008. He covers the intersection of economics, culture, and politics. His work has appeared in various publications across the country, and he is a regular television and radio guest. Williamson resides in New York City.

Spend any time around the Trumpkins â the intellectually and morally stunted Oompa Loompas who have rallied to the candidacy of this grotesque charlatan â and you will hear purportedly heterosexual men working up freestyle paeans to Trumpâs alleged virility â those âpussies in Washingtonâ arenât ready for âa real man like Trump,â as one put it â and cataloguing his praises in exuberant gonadal terms, with special attention paid to calculating the heaviness of the Trumpian scrotum relative to the equipment being packed by, e.g., Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio.
One says: âHe is the only one that has the balls to tell the truth and to stand up for America." âTrum'âs got the balls," proclaims the headline in a right-wing blog. âDonald Trump is a perfect example of an alpha male," declares a commenter at (ahem!) Bodybuilding.com. âAlpha males lead for a reason,â retorted a Trump admirer when National Reviewâs Jonah Goldberg called for an âinterventionâ for the Trumpkins. Members of the GOP establishment, says another, âdonât know how to handle an extroverted alpha male personality like Trumpâ â ritualistic prostration of the faithful before Trumpâs presumptive âalphaâ social status being fundamental to the Trumpkin liturgy. Sensing the emergent theme, the left-wing columnist Michael Tomasky declared in the Daily Beast: âTrumpâs got the GOP by the balls.â
Uh huh.
At one time, years ago, I read NR religiously.
Of course, at one time there weren’t a lot of choices out there if you were conservative.
I don’t even know what to say about them these days.
Trump is one of those guys, you can agree with his critics point by point, and agree with his supporters point by point. Its all true. He is everything you say he is, good and bad. And it changes nothing. National sovereignty is the primary issue in the here and now, and Trump is the only candidate to see it, seize on it, face the press’s chain saws, face the pounding by GOP, and still not back down. He owns the issue now, and the folks at NR can’t figure it out.
Yeah it went from bad to bad for Trump. Telemundo/ NBC to GOPE NRO who hate Trump.
How can they call him a witless ape and not call the current occupant of the oval office that too?
Looks like someone you’d see at the Folsom Street Fair.
Good point. And the answer is "gutless".
Where the hell is the RNC on this??By the wat RNC— Where are all those signedpledges that Trump signed from the other candidates— HUMMMMMM?
