Roger that. It couldn’t be easily summarized, due to the detail, other than the conclusion that there is some fire and not just smoke behind these stories. No one really wants to hear that either, no matter who is the source, apparently. I’m not happy about it either but would rather know the truth instead of just wish it away. Thanks again.
Given Trump’s former behavior in the 2015 election, why would we not expect him to have pet names such as “lyin Ted” and “sleepy Ben Carson”. Certainly this is Trump’s approach to any competitors so we should probably expect this to continue. Some people don’t prefer their President to speak in this way and they believe it is a distraction and weakens the Republican party as a whole. I think these school-yard monikers are similar to swearing constantly - the people who use them typically lack the verbal skills to berate their opponents.
