Donald Trump's creative defense of vulgar insult: 'I was doing everybody a favor'

As New Hampshire voters headed to the polls Tuesday, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump downplayed his use of a crude insult the day before.

"It was like a retweet," Trump said during an interview on "Fox & Friends."

"I would never say a word like that," he further insisted.

I posit that many of the "hate" comes from trolls riling up Freepers. It's hard, but it's best to ignore most of them.

Many Freepers (and Trolls) do spout "We want a conservative who will stand up for the Constitution," but the more pragmatic people realize that, for better or worse, our country is made up of individuals with two sides of a brain--although some of those individuals do happen to be mind-numb robots, but I digress. Our Constitution does provide us the foundation, but over the past years, especially under the 0, that foundation is in being torn down. If you want to look at it this way: Many people see Trump as the master builder who can start the process of fixing that foundation.

Personally, I like both Cruz and Trump. I'm fine with either one. But Trump is the no-nonsense builder and entrepreneur and many of us believe he's the one who can get the building constructed right, first. To me, Cruz is the one who can keep that building clean, maintained and in proper order for generations to come. I think both will make an excellent team.

Why hate on him? Many of us don't. Especially those of us who know a bit of history and know how this country has swung since it's inception. Again, I posit that many of the "hate" comes from trolls riling up Freepers. You can sometimes tell, because they tend to use socialist/communist tactics. (See Alinsky) It's best to ignore most of them.

All you Principled Conservatives (TM) drooling over Ted Cruz while he stuffs his pockets with anonymous money laundered cash

Please post documentation to back up your statement. Otherwise I will just consider it the same kind of slime that you accuse others of. You've made up your mind for Trump and that's okay, but you and the Cruz guys will never get me to choose your candidate with insults and accusations.

I would like to tell a story to prove a point. A TRUE story.
One of my Dear Friends took her daughter to her high school to speak to her teacher. She and her daughter are beautiful Christian people.
This Friend told me how SHOCKED she was with the filthy talk that the students where using. Well past the “f” word. She asked her daughter about it. Her daughter said EVERY ONE talks like that except herself and a friend.

My point? The majority of the PEOPLE of the UNITED STATES USE these words and are LAUGHING.

Trump NEVER used the f word. He left a blank in his speech to let the people FILL IN.

PUSSY?????? you have to be kidding me.

We’ll find out in 6 hours. I think you will be surprised.

[McGruff]

Trump has figured out if he just drops one little bomb a day the media will be like bugs to a bug zapper and totally ignore all the other candidates.

[D-fendr]

None of that story is good. It is a bad illustration of something very wrong in our culture.

As far as Trump and the F-word:

Is any attention good attention?

I always say that the abortion culture has weakened the moral fiber of our society.

And I think gutter language weakens it further.

My father nor my husband used bad language. They actually had other words in their vocabularies.

[jennings2004]

Would that be Canadian or American, Sir?

[pilgrim]

Think there would have been another example than bug zapper. To crude to post!

It does suck all the attention to him and that is what he seems to like.

Thanks.

Watch the original. Quit being dishonest and man up. What are you afraid of if you watch the actual speech?

[Responsibility2nd]

Either Trumpers are claiming that Donald DOES NOT SWEAR.

Or they are praising him because he does.

I don’t get it. I guess they can’t make up their mind because their hero flip-flops and walks back almost every hateful obscene remarks he makes.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

You have to be making that name up. You just have to.

How cruel to name your child after an act of sodomy.

8====D 0-:

[altura]

He does love attention.

To me, he’s kind of a man-child with his reddish face and big blond combover and his flamboyance and his bragging about sexual conquests.

It’s like he’s a 59 year old Frat Boy.

[napscoordinator]

We’ll find out in 6 hours. You Cruz loser are delusional.

[Responsibility2nd]

What are you afraid of if you watch the actual speech?

__________________________________________

I’m not afraid of any f-bombs. See post 41. I dropped some there.

Let me repost the question: WHY did Trump “self edit” his f-bomb?

I submit that he’s a PUSSY. Ted Cruz (Elmer Gantry) and his Goldman Sachs money mouth would never drop the f-bomb, right?

But all I keep hearing from Trumpers is that they APPROVE of Donald and his Patton like language. Eff Yeah. We need a man like that in the White House, right?

So. WHY are you DENYING that Trump dropped the f-bomb?

I’d think you’d be PROUD of it, right?

[euram]

Get your smelling salts out, Nancy.

I suppose you’ve never called anyone a pussy before. Or, maybe this was the very first time you’ve heard the word.

It is only a word, you do know that, don’t you?

[PA Engineer]

Did you watch the actual speech? A simple yes or no answer is all that is required.

[ConfidentConservative]

I am not making any excuse for this “Culture” It IS what is it.

I am a full, Born Again, Believer in Jesus Christ. I never use these words.
But I hear them all the time. THOSE are the people I am talking about.

Donald Trump is going to work HARD for this Country when he is President. He will work FOR the people.

God BLESS Donald Trump and keep him SAFE.

God BLESS this country and keep her safe as well.

Thank you, Lord for your GRACE AND MERCY!

amen

Here you go. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in anonymous donations laundered through LLCs to a Cruz Super PAC. Who is supporting Cruz here? Soros? Chicoms? This is ugly stuff here. Very disappointed in Cruz since I was a strong supporter of him for many years up until TPA.
