Not as much of an insult as the obscene Trump attempting to compare himself to Reagan. Reagan never ridiculed the handicapped or used filthy language to describe women or during any campaign.

BTW Trump insulted Nancy Reagan’s appearance. “The transcript runs 68 pages long, but here are the parts of the interview that are truly damaging for Trump:

Smith: I’ve been invited to go to Ronald Reagan’s funeral. I’m debating about going.

Trump: Do you like her?

Smith: I did. I do like her. I think she’s….

Trump: You know, I respect that she was so loyal.

Smith: She’s, I don’t think she was terribly smart. She’s not a smart person.

Trump: I never heard that statement that you didn’t think she was that smart.

Smith: I don’t believe she’s very smart.

Trump: That’s very interesting.

Smith: She had really trivial….

Trump: She was never very beautiful. That’s for sure.

Smith: No, she wasn’t great. She was pretty. But not great.

Why Trump thought it was necessary to comment on the former First Lady’s appearance is beyond us, but her looks somehow seemed to matter. This is revealing for how Trump views women in general and their worth. Despite what he said about Mrs. Reagan, though, he had nothing but good things to say about Mr. Reagan’s appearance.

“President Reagan, on the other hand, was truly a handsome man.”

Uh, because he's a man. I am a woman, and live and work in a very competitive male dominated world. They can, and almost without fail, will list objectively the pros and cons of a woman's professional elements, good at this, bad at this, so-so here and here, and there is, inevitably, usually at the end of the conversation, something along the lines, "yeah, and she's hot, too." or "not too hot, but I still dig her." Maybe there is something very very wrong with me, but I take no offense at this kind of conversation to me, IT IS JUST MEN BEING MEN. Maybe we should all just let men be men, it's really not that horrible of a thing.
