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

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.
