And the funny thing is, he didn't really mean it as an insult!
On today's CNN This Morning, in a segment analyzing the results of the Iowa caucuses and looking ahead to New Hampshire, CNN commentator Jamal Simmons, who stuck it out for a year as Vice President Kamala Harris's communications director before bailing, said:
"Trump is like a walking, talking middle finger, right? People think about him like, oh, this guy is the way we get back at the elites. The way we get back at the people who are in charge, who are leaving the rest of us behind while they continue to make more money and divide up the spoils amongst themselves. He does have this persona."
In a sense, Simmons' description of Trump aligns with how Trump has described himself as his supporters' "retribution."

That’s really funny because there’s too much truth to it.
What scares the left is their hold on the black voter up to now. Blacks can identify with that more than most.
Black women won’t budge. Time to drive that wedge between the men and women.

Yep, and when I vote in November, I will use my middle finger.

You know, I think these people on the Left and in the Media are total dimwits, but...I think they got this right!
OF COURSE TRUMP IS A WALKING, TALKING, MIDDLE FINGER!
They are just too dimwitted over all to realize Trump is OUR walking, talking, middle finger directed squarely at THEM.
Trump knows this. They simply don't.

Jamal needs to man up and get off the RAT white boyz plantation. Being a token must get old.

That was actually a beautiful and accurate statement. Trump is a walkin’& talkin’ middle finger and he needs the T-shirt. Keep on flippin’ them fringy Marxists off, they absolutely hate that sh!t.

They’d rather have the middle finger than the trigger finger.
