Nearly 24 hours after he said that Hillary Clinton had been "schlonged" by Barack Obama during her failed 2008 presidential campaign, Donald Trump took to Twitter to defend his comments.
Schlonged, the Republican businessman said in a tweet, was not a vulgar reference to a penis. Instead, he argued, he meant "beaten badly."
Once again, #MSM is dishonest. "Schlonged" is not vulgar. When I said Hillary got "schlonged" that meant beaten badly.

Trump went on to defend his comments, saying that NPR's Neal Conan had once used the phrase to refer to the trouncing at the polls that the Walter Mondale-Geraldine Ferraro presidential ticket received in the 1984 election.
(woo-hoo, did not take Trump long to respond)

If he says it’s not a vulgar insult, then it must be true.
And the best part is, you know it drives Hitlery absolutely ape****.
She’s not used to being nose-thumbed. And now Trump owns her domain name. Heh.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Good one :-)
Technically she was Schwartzed.
Thanks to her Bill, the name “Lewinsky” has become a vulgarity.
She’s using it to go full out with her “bullying” mantra.
Thank you for the compliment!
Well it`s not like they aren`t already here or you`re going to do anything about it? And there are bigger cultural fish to fry, much bigger.
Huh. After all of the shit I’ve been giving the Trumpistas the last few months, I’d have thought I’d be outed as a liberal a long time ago. You gotta admit, though, that after almost eight years here I’ve been playing one hell of a waiting game.
No, truth is (my love of Bruce Springsteen notwithstanding), I’m just your run of the mill Constitutionalist who’s tired of seeing otherwise intelligent people get schlonged by a two bit real estate developer turned reality TV sideshow.
No, I just expect somebody who wants to be President of the US to have a little more class and articulacy than that. One of the ugly things about Bammy is ihis complete lack of civility and his inabIlity to have any kind of rational discourse. It’s a pity the GOP decided to emulate him in the person of Trump.
Actually, Trump is extremely "articulate" ( you misused the word )and flowery speech, suffused with SAT vocab words doesn't prove that someone is intelligent, civil, nor "high class" !
Ever listen to John, I SERVED IN NAM, Kerry ? He tries SOOOOOOOOOO hard, but comes across as some effete Uriah Heapish arsehole, who is a total moron.
Obama has a multitude of writers, he doesn't have a cogent thought in his fried out brain, yet some people were/are impressed by his supposed "brilliance".
Politics is a BLOOD SPORT and insults, impugnations, ridicule, and incivility has been around since this nation began !
Do you want to win, or do you want this nation to go over the cliff, but have everyone be "civil" ?
If he meant it as a vulgar insult, then I like him even more!
:)
You’re welcome! :-)
