I wonder how the three Mrs. Trumps and the three Mrs. Giulianis feel about the one Mrs. Clinton?

 FROM HELEN:

Margaret, I wish there was a word to adequately describe Donald Trump. For the first time, I regret calling Sarah Palin a bitch.  Not because she isn’t – she is and so am I – but because I realize now the power of that word.  It concerns me that we have a word like bitch – which seems to fit so perfectly for Sarah and for me – and yet we don’t have the equivalent word to describe a man like Trump.  Donald Trump is a…

Asshole?  Yes.  But that’s almost a compliment for him and is certainly not gender specific.

Fat ass?  Well, sure. But then again, so am I.

Jackass?  You bet.  But even that lacks the gender clarity that bitch has.

Considering everyone actually has an ass, I don’t think that word is going to pass muster for a good descriptor for Trump. We could descend into other body parts but Lord knows I don’t need to hear yet another conversation about Donald’s unmentionables. 

Donald J. Trump is not a decent person, and his indecency cannot be simplified down to one word.  All the worst words seem to fit but the whole of Donald Trump is just greater than the  sum of  all those words. Clearly the man is not right in the head. He is fundamentally flawed – Big League. But a word to describe him escapes me.

We now know that he humiliated a 19-year-old girl because she didn’t conform to his definition of beauty. No positive encouragement when she gained weight – public humiliation was Trump’s choice for corrective action.  One woman out of billions was crowned Miss Universe that year and Donald still found a way to criticize her looks.  This man is a misogynist, yes, but that one word falls way short when you consider he also made fun of a disabled person and attacked the grieving parents of a soldier killed in battle only to then accept someone else’s Purple Heart and joke how easy it was to get.  I didn’t make any of this up, honey. This man is a…

I still can’t find the word.

Before the debates, I was watching the news, something akin to watching an episode of the Twilight Zone these days, and a member of Trump’s campaign team, Kellyanne something, casually mentioned Hillary’s questionable health.  As if Hillary is going to drop dead at any minute, but Trump, a sniffling sack of cholesterol, is the epitome of fitness.  So here is my question: Are we concerned about her health because she is old or because she is a woman or both?  Either way, the fact that Republicans even care about a woman’s health is truly remarkable considering up until now they’ve been closing down women’s health clinics faster than Chris Christie closes bridges.

I saw a movie last night that I wish everybody could see.  In a year where two senior citizens are running for President, no one is talking about the real health, financial and social  concerns that senior citizens face every day.  Thank goodness Rosemary Rodriguez made her movie,  Silver Skies.  At least somebody is having the conversation.

But with Donald we get conversations about sexism, racism, egoism… Anything but humanism and humanitarianism. How is this race even close?  

Donald thinks he won the debate and he is now stating that Hillary Clinton is stuck in the past.  This from a man who wants to roll back civil rights, remove reproductive rights,  reverse environmental protections, and decrease the minimum wage. Bless his heart but that man is a…

Damn it.  What is the word?

Now I hear in the next debate Donald plans to attack Hillary for how she handled her husband’s infidelity. According to Rudy Giuliani, Trump should have done it in the first debate. This from two men who have had 6 wives and at least four affairs between them. Giuliani is definitely an asshole.  The word just fits him. But Trump…. Trump is… Trump is a… 

Maybe Hillary  can have a summit with the three Mrs. Trumps and the three Mrs. Giulianis to determine how best to handle the issue of infidelity. I bet they all can’t decide if there is one best way to handle such a personal issue, but I bet they all would agree that Donald probably shouldn’t have an opinion on the matter.

I guess Trump is simply TRUMP.  He is just too foul for words.  I mean it.  Really.

 FROM MARGARET:
I believe the word you are looking for is Asshat.  Oh, and I am glad you saw Silver Skies.  I just love George Hamilton and doesn’t Mariette Hartley still look fantastic.  Too bad those two aren’t running for President.

  29. (I posted the following elsewhere first, but it may help those here who are working to convince family/friends/community, of the importance of voting responsibly)

    Every Presidential election we hear that a vote for a third party, or write-in, candidate is a vote for one of the candidates for either of the two major parties.

    This is true simply because, at least in recent memory, no third party candidate has had a REASONABLE, REALISTIC chance of winning the election.

    People who still can’t countenance voting for either of the two major party candidates will continue voting third party, or write-in, in protest.

    As is their right.

    Others will vote third party or write-in because that is their considered choice, as the best person to lead the country.

    As is their right.

    However, there are people out there who will vote third party or write-in because they are falling prey to the false equivalence, and false sense of security (i.e., “Trump is a disgraceful waste of space, but since Clinton is sure to win, I can vote in protest”).

    Which is also their right, but it’s just a wee bit selfish and irresponsible, and could well come back to bite them. (See Brexit and regret)

    If too many people assume Clinton has the election locked down, and use that assumption as their basis for not voting for her, she could lose. But even if the assumption is right—even if you’re a young progressive from California who believes with excellent reason that your vote won’t possibly be decisive—the Tribune’s line of thinking comes at a hefty price. This year the “lesser of two evils” rationale isn’t just an uninspiring appeal to risk aversion. It’s about making a positive and important statement to the world that in America, a racist authoritarian can not get within a hair’s breadth of the presidency—and that, if one happens to become a major party nominee, he will be defeated soundly.

    If this were an election between Clinton and Johnson or Clinton and Stein, more people would learn that Johnson wants to abolish the income tax, or that Stein panders to anti-vaccine activists, and Clinton would suddenly start looking like an acceptable alternative. Young voters in particular are drawn to Johnson out of a sense that he’s more true-to-self than the scripted and secretive Clinton, even though her platform resembles young-voter priorities much more closely than his does.

    So, if you are one of those voters whose reason not to vote for Hillary Clinton in this election has more to do with perception than reality, you may want to do some research on her policies (vs soundbites from mainstream media and/or Trump), before you throw your vote behind a candidate who cannot win.

You guys in the US just don’t know how to swear properly. 🙂 Here in the UK, a man like Trump would be referred to as a “cunt”; but in the US it’s apparently impossible to use that term to insult a man. “Wanker” is another British swearword that would work quite well; and helpfully, in the UK, “trump” is slang for “fart”.

    I think the best you could do in the States is probably to call him a “douchebag”.

    But IMO the best way to describe Trump is not to resort to invective at all but to calmly and accurately describe him as what he is; and the word you want there is “psychopath”.

    Trump is a lot smarter than most people think, and strictly speaking he isn’t racist or misogynist, he just doesn’t regard people as being people; to him, other human beings are either objects (to be manipulated to serve his purposes) or sources of confirmation of his own magnificence. If he were actually as stupid and immature as many people think, he would be far less dangerous.

  90. I think you have to get a bit creative to come up with the right word to apply to the Donald. I would suggest “Pusbag,” since pus involves infection: The pimple has become a boil.
    I suspect the reason there is no male equivalent of woman-shaming words like “Bitch” or “Slut” is that so many men would find those labels to be a compliment. What they hate to be called is “Coward”, “Wimp”, “Wuss”.
    If you are willing to involve genitalia, men seem to hate being called a “Pussy” more than they hate being called a “Prick.” Worm” is also considered very insulting, but “Worm” is not flamboyant enough to describe Trump. I see him as an over-inflated bag of pus that is oozing poison like a semi dormant volcano. Everyone is afraid the boil will pop, that he will erupt into a toxic explosion that cannot be contained. It’s happened before. But today’s old farts like me only remember hearing about it. Most people who lived it aren’t here anymore. Shows how much people learn from history.

And that’s anyone whose position, power, or male ego becomes masturbatory to the point that it’s the behavioral equivalency of masturbating in public, knowing it and shrugging your shoulders and saying, “…yeah, and (so what)?”. Donald Trump does this ceaselessly when he calls into talk shows just to publicly disparage people (and so what’s the word for / what do you call the people who allow this?). So we already know 2 strumpfs (Trump & Stumpf), also, Roger Ailes is a strumpf, bridge-closer Chris Christie is a strumpf, …who else?

    SO MANY good and amusing suggestions. But it does strike me that there’s pretty much a consensus, at least here on The Porch – and, please god, in the country as a whole when it comes time to vote – that whatever we call this creature, he remains what he is: A narcissistic sociopath to which the word “candidate” should never, ever have been attached.

    So my question now becomes what do we call all these “Republicans” who have colluded in allowing him to be taken seriously? As if he could ever POSSIBLY run any country, let alone this one? What do we call a Paul Ryan…? A Ted Cruz, who sold his political soul (if there is such a thing) to the devil and actually ENDORSED this thing, after swearing he never would?

    Ask the children and grandchildren of the Germans who capitulated to – or failed to take seriously – Hitler what they think of their parents and grandparents, and of themselves. It’s not pretty. Their ancestors’ collusion, and silence, haunts them to this day. I saw that more than twenty years ago among young Germans, and again only a few weeks ago.

    It’s a dreadful legacy – and one our children and grandchildren should not have to bear.

That is a 27x difference.

    In addition, here is a quote from UK based Oxford Economics which runs counter to the Trump economic plan being the best suited:

    “Donald Trump’s agenda risks putting the U.S. economy in recession while Hillary Clinton’s plans would have a modest positive impact, a new analysis shows. Oxford Economics, a forecasting firm, put the two candidates’ proposals side by side and analyzed them. Its conclusion: Clinton would be better for the economy.”

  181. While there is much to critique Mr. Trump on with regard to his misogyny, racisim and xenophobia, the mainstream media needs to focus more on two things – his history and his economic plan.

    Newsweek has done an excellent piece on his global dealings where he has dealt with some nefarious characters and offended some global leaders, plus the huge conflict of interest that would be caused if he should win. Plus, David Fahrenthold of The Washington Post has done excellent investigative work on Trump’s self-dealing with his Trump Foundation, plus his illegal campaign donation to the Florida AG so she would not press charges on Trump University, not joining three other class action lawsuits on alleged misrepresentation. It should be noted the NY AG is now investigating the Foundation and it could lose its tax exempt status if this is true.

    Plus, the USA Today did a piece on June 1, 2016 about his 3,500 lawsuits in 45 years of business. By my math, that is 1 and 1/2 per week. If you sue Trump for his not paying you, he counters sues and outguns the painting, dry wall, electrician, plumber, landscaper who sometimes goes out of business, as a result.

    In essence, this man exploits people for money, always has and still does. That includes, but is not limited to, evicting people from their homes, stiffing people for contractual payments and wages, six bankruptices, and renting his name to developers so they can charge more to unwitting buyers. As for the stiffing people identified above, an attorney who worked for him said Trump tends to claim bad service and does not pay quite often. He has even stiffed attorneys who are suing others.

So many of today’s suggestions are still not gender specific the way ‘bitch’ is, which was Helen’s complaint in the first place–there’s no good word for a ‘man bitch.’ However, I think she may have coined a new one herself–whenever a man is being a nasty, spoiled, demanding, ignorant, petulant child (did I leave out anything there?), he should simply be referred to as a ‘trump.’ “Gee, Bill is sure being trumpy today; must be his time of month.” Or, “Dave is such a trump; I think he needs to get laid.” The word trump, used in context, should have the same negative connotations as bitch, c**t, etc. Thanks, Helen!
