I created one months ago merely to follow the Trump-Russia scandal and to tweet insults to the Orange Menace. I didn't use my real name and didn't try to connect with any friends or family, so I have very few followers. Apparently, if you accumulate a lot of followers, you are more likely to be blocked by high-profile people like Dotard J. Trump.

It's a great way to relieve stress. I'm sure that I have been muted on Trump's end, but I don't care. It's fun to hurl insults at him.

I've called him everything under the sun, searching for something concise and accurate.

Dotard it is.

Thanks, Un.

it has an advantage beyond its definition: it sounds like Homer Simpson's "D'oh!" combined with Retard.

"Dotard rose dramatically in lookups on September 21st, 2017, after Kim Jong Un referred to Donald Trump by this uncomplimentary term".

Unrelated, but I clicked a link on the page and wound up here...

Interesting how the English language adapted to change after the Norman Invasion, at least when it came to barnyard animals and the food they provided.

And my understanding was that it was Kim Jung Un talking smack about Trump. If so, they just won the (verbal) war. Between their better insults and their better command of the English language, Donnie Dotard has finally met his match.

If there's one thing psychotic totalitarian dictators are good at, it's shit talking the West.

I have been not referring to him by name just pronouns or names that are not family friendly.
So dotard it is. Gotta use it a few times before spell check recognizes it.

Some might be offended because of the reference to "retard," which is a derogatory term to people who have certain mental issues.

45 is plain & factual, but not descriptive enough.

The orange clown - me likee.

Twitler - No...I didn't care for that one.
