Trump is (allegedly) the President of the United States and (nominally) the leader of the free world. His words have vastly greater impact than the words of a million online personalities.

Further, we're not using "deplorables" because we lack the capacity to select other words, whereas Herr Trump uses "loser" indiscriminately to refer to Democrats, judges, celebrities and terrorists.



Personally, I prefer the term "idiot racist fuckheads" to describe his idiot racist fuckhead supporters, but I find that this phrase upsets some of his idiot racist fuckhead supporters, so I use it sparingly when I'm in the presence of his idiot racist fuckhead supporters.
