In reply to the discussion: Traitor's on the attack this morning. He's very desperate now. [View all]Grammy23
(5,810 posts)88. tRump likes to go for physical characteristics to mock his opponents.
In typical bullying style he attacks people for things they usually cannot control and are highly visible. (Height, weight, face, disabilities) It is the lowest thing to attack but also easy, as well. His minions seem to eat it up and think it shows how smart he is.
On the contrary, it does no such thing. If anything, it shows how shallow he is. His knowledge of history, substantive details and long term consequences of policies is missing so he goes after things that dont matter or are irrelevant to the matter.
He is running out of vocabulary to use to belittle his opponents. Not that he had a vast repertoire to begin with, but when Little is the best you can come up with and you use it over and over, it just demonstrates your lack of creativity and intelligence. When you have to remind people again and again how smart you are, how you use the best words and have a superior education, it might be because you are none of those things.
The Twitter attacks are wearing a little thin and when you start to repeat yourself, it is time to rethink your tactics. Might not be the most effective strategy to go beyond the base.

He already used "Little" for Bob Corker. His very good brain has run out of the best words.

I was thinking this as well. Bob Corker is only 5'7 or 5'8, a bully is going to bully so

Rachel and Joy would LOVE his attacks. Their ratings would soar. I wouldn't be surprised
