Trump calls everyone names. If he wants to call DeSantis “DeSanctimonius”...oh well. I wish he wouldn’t but that one doesn’t bother me too much. FWIW, Trump says he did not call him the ethnic slur “Meatball” and that he would never call DeSantis that. Some freeper bigots have latched on to “Meatball” and are using it. Actually, that bothers me more than Trump calling him “DeSanctimonius”. Freepers should be better than that.

Actually I’m sick of us being sensitive and offended and using as a sledgehammer every time someone uses a group “slur”. Yet personal direct attacks are just fine. Why is it ok to insult a person directly but not ok to use “group slurs”?

Off my soapbox.

I don’t like any of the public name-calling. But I have never liked the hypocrisy on how horrible it is to use some group pejorative, but perfectly fine to bully someone personally with direct slurs about them themselves.

Again, Trump should keep the mouth shut when it comes to loose-cannon comments about people and making childish remarks about them. It’s unprofessional never mind just plain impolite.
