That sounds about right. I’ve listened to more of Trump’s speechifying than is good for one’s mental health, and every single time he relates an anecdote in which someone approaches to speak to him, he quotes that person as addressing him as “Mr. Trump…”
I interpret that as “everyone’s a subordinate on Planet Trump”.
I like monarchs who don’t lose their empires. Ones who do are losers.
I can’t believe that the quip about the 400-pound hacker hasn’t gotten more airplay.
That may hit too close to home for too many Netizens.
Well, Lester Holt is a…well, YOU know.
Like me, every 400 lb geek heard it, loud and clear. You don’t fuck with us. C’mon, Putin. Just TRY it.
And we do it for free.
I think he just has difficulty with polysyllabic words.
Bigly.
Absolutely no question whatsoever to me that addressing him as “Donald” was a critical part of the plan. She never called him by a diminutive (Don, Donny) or anything insulting, so you can’t say she wasn’t respectful. Since he holds no office deserving of a title and there’s precedent for calling an opponent by their first name in debates, you can’t say she did anything wrong. But the familiarity and refusal to use his last name implies him lacking in importance.
Conversely, Trump bungled by referring to her as “Secretary Clinton.” While it is technically good protocol to do so on first address (after that it’s unnecessary to keep saying “Secretary”) it was an error. He should have called her “Hillary” to make it sound more even. Few people would have noticed the technically deficient protocol, and in fairness he does know her personally. But by doing so, while she called him Donald, it reinforced the notion of her superiority.
Hey, facts is facts. Am I sexist if I say water is wet?
I thought it was that, too, but I think he’s saying “big league”. That seems to one of his pet phrases. She’s got knockers, all right. Big league knockers!
wrong
I hear “big league.”
You know, I believe he has one of those little tiny chubby ones hidden under a roll of fat.
What? It’s a legitimate Presidential issue, isn’t it?
I think you mean Presidential tissue.
