Donald Trump's creative defense of vulgar insult: 'I was doing everybody a favor'
Business Insider ^ | 02/09/2016 | Colin Campbell

Posted on 02/09/2016 9:47:12 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

As New Hampshire voters headed to the polls Tuesday, Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump downplayed his use of a crude insult the day before.

"It was like a retweet," Trump said during an interview on "Fox & Friends."

"I would never say a word like that," he further insisted.

Trump is using the media to subliminally label his adversary. It’s a tactic that will easily work on the LIV, and is a lot less costly than paid advertising.

You asked him to back up his assertion and he did. For What It’s Worth, I do not like how Cruz asks for money and how does not use his real birth name when running for office.


It is so disappointing to see “Principled Conservative” Ted Cruz pull every sleazy trick in the book he can.

[There’s a reason those words are supposed to be used in private only. If you remove the taboo on speaking that way in public, you coarsen the culture.]

What you said. I suspect Trump supporters would be outraged if we used the same terms against them.

No offense, but the time to talk about ‘coarsening the culture’ was when FDR first took office.

It’s been downhill ever since.

That said, give me a man who curses in public over a man who denies doing it in private.

Trump’s wonderful cost-saving measures paid off so well in Iowa, didn’t they?

Trump is a Scrooge-esque cheapskate. His supporters should be ticked off that he’s been short-changing his campaign. I’m happy because it means he’s all the more likely to go down in flames and become a footnote in political history.

Did James Bond’s Goldfinger bomb at the Box Office because the female lead was named Pussy? Of course not there was no such thing as politically correct BS in 1964.

Every president in the last 50 years has cussed worse than most drunken sailors. Hillary Clinton is one of the filthiest talking human beings on earth.

You must have responded to the wrong post or thread. I'm sure you didn't intend to respond to post no. 181:

What’s said in private is MEANINGLESS. It’s the fact that this was said in public that is the problem.

Why do we have bans on profanity on television? Shouldn’t we let every word be said on every TV show so every child can be exposed to it? There is no greater way to get children imitating something then to have the President of the U.S. do it. Bill Clinton popularized the “Lewinsky” nationwide. Sounds like you want to go down that vulgar path again with a President who sets another horrible example.

Nope, read it again or get a tutor to help you if you have as much problem with basic English as Trump does.

“I would never say a word like that,” he further insisted.

After having said it publicly, into a microphone, in front of a large crowd.

I suggest you read it a third time and summarize it in your own words.

Then explain why the idea expressed in the post demands a barrage of unrelated statements.

Trump is using the media to subliminally label his adversary. It's a tactic that will easily work on the LIV, and is a lot less costly than paid advertising.

It's easier said than done, but try not to let the negative comments get to you. Focus on the positive ones.

Despite all the supposed fighting here, I put my faith with the adults in the room/forum. If you surf the forum long enough, you tend to get a good feeling/idea of who those people are.

In the end, all of us have to make and live with our own personal choices, no matter what other people say. So, again, try not to let the negative comments get to you.

I hope this helps.
