That’s the thing - Trump doesn’t respond to criticism by refuting or disproving it. He responds by insulting the critic.
Your criticism meter seems to only work on way - they have hurled personal insult after personal insult on Trump - do the words like cancer, clown, etc., ring a bell? Apparently, not - they started this crap with the name calling and yet you defend them. Sick!

How do you respond positively to accusations that you are crude, vulgar (George Will), dishonest, etc. (I’m too tired to continue the list.) You get what I mean. I can criticize what you say, and you can answer back. But if I start calling you names, and, most of all, accuse you of saying things you did not say, or twist what you did say into something you obviously did not mean, and you have limited time to respond, what strategy will you use? You know that an hour later someone who was listening will pick it up and amplify it through all the networks and before long it is set in concrete. You will take the most direct route. You will quickly point out my lack of ethics, etc.
