Commentary: The Complete Guide to President Trump’s Twitter Insults

by George Rasley

 

The New York Times recently posted what it claims is a complete list of President Trump’s Twitter insults. Conservatives should archive this article from the New York Times before the typists the Democrat National Committee assigned the Grey Lady recognize the irony inherent in the article and take it down.

Some items on the list hardly qualify as “insults,” unless stating in truth is an insult.

So, Mr. Trump’s criticism of the Obama-era cost overruns on Air Force One made the list:

New 747 Air Force One

“costs are out of control,” “Cancel order!”

As did the cost overruns for the F-35 fighter:

CASE

Lockheed Martin F-35 program “out of control”

But all that was just padding to make the list longer, because Donald Trump’s real “insults” were reserved for his media and political antagonists; and Mr. Trump hurled well-earned invective at Republicans and Democrats alike.

Oddly, while the networks had lengthy lists of insults, several of Mr. Trump’s fiercest critics had few citations, leaving us wondering if the New York Times’ list wasn’t shading things a bit.

CNN correspondent Brian Stelter earned just one well-aimed cite:

“just a poor man’s lapdog”

While perennial Trump antagonist CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta earned just two:

“a Fake reporter!” “Crazy”

Former alleged Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan earned a much longer list of citations:

# Paul D. Ryan:

“RINO,” “Lame Duck Speaker,” “almost killed the Republican Party,” “Weak ineffective & stupid,” “had the Majority& blew it away with his poor leadership and bad timing,” “record of achievement was atrocious,” “a long running lame duck failure,” “leaving his Party in the lurch,” “quit Congress because he didn’t know how to Win,” “should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about!” “always fighting the Republican nominee!” “doesn’t know how to win,” “does zilch!” “very weak,” “ineffective,” “disloyal”

Nebraska’s allegedly Republican Senator Ben Sasse also earned a solid citation:

Ben Sasse:

“rather stupid and obnoxious,” “Little Ben,” “a liability to the Republican Party,” “an embarrassment to the Great State of Nebraska,” “The least effective of our 53 Republican Senators,” “a person who truly doesn’t have what it takes to be great,” “Little Ben,” “a RINO,” “Little Ben,” “RINO,” “foolish,” “Really sad,” “totally ineffective,” “looks more like a gym rat than a U.S. Senator,” “how the hell did he ever get elected?”

Among Republicans Utah’s Senator Mitt Romney may have earned the longest entry, and certainly one of our favorites – he “choked like a dog.”

Mitt Romney:

“RINO,” “a man with very little talent or political skill,” “RINO,” “a terrible presidential candidate and an even worse U.S. Senator,” “grandstander”,” “No clue,” “failed presidential candidate,” “sanctimonious,” “The Democrats are lucky that they don’t have any Mitt Romney types,” “Somebody please wake up Mitt Romney,” “he choked!” “never knew how to win,” “a pompous “ass” who has been fighting me from the beginning so bad for R’s,” “Pompous,” “a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats,” “If @MittRomney spent the same energy fighting Barack Obama as he does fighting Donald Trump, he could have won the race (maybe)!” “is he a Flake?” “I won big, and he didn’t,” “Really sad,” “choked like a dog,” “Failed presidential candidate,” “the man who ‘choked’ and let us all down,” “Failed,” “a mixed up man who doesn’t have a clue. No wonder he lost!” “let us all down in the last presidential race,” “a disaster candidate who had no guts and choked,” “a total joke, and everyone knows it!” “doesn’t know how to win,” “Why did Mitt Romney BEG me for my endorsement four years ago?” “Failed Presidential Candidate,” “desperate move by the man who should have easily beaten Barrack Obama,” “didn’t show his tax return until SEPTEMBER 21, 2012, and then only after being humiliated by Harry R,” “bad messenger for estab!” “failed,” “one of the dumbest and worst candidates in the history of Republican politics,” “so awkward and goofy,” “terrible ‘choke’ loss to Obama,” “blew an election that should have never been lost,” “I don’t need his angry advice,” “he choked!” “why would anybody listen to @MittRomney?” “lost an election that should have easily been won”

However, the longest individual entry in the list must belong to Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff, the corrupt serial liar who heads the House Intelligence Committee.

#Adam Schiff:

“Shifty,” “Shifty Schiff,” “LEAK information to the Fake News,” “Shifty Schiff,” “Shifty,” “a crooked politician,” “corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff,” “should not have access to Intelligence, he is a corrupt pol,” “Shifty Schiff,” “incompetent & corrupt,” “Adam “Shifty” Schiff,” “Corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff,” “Corrupt politician Schif,” “a corrupt pol,” “he is mentally deranged!” “Shifty,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man,” “conman , Shifty,” “lyin’, cheatin’, liddle’ Adam “Shifty” Schif,” “Shifty Schiff,” “Shifty Schiff,” “Shifty Schiff,” “presentation to the Senate was loaded with lies,” “Shifty Schiff,” “corrupt pol Shifty Schiff,” “Corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff,” “Adam “Shifty” Schiff,” “corrupt politician Shifty Schiff,” “corrupt politician,” “Shifty Schiff,” “corrupt politician Adam Shifty Schiff,” “corrupt politician Adam “Shifty” Schiff,” “Shifty Schiff,” “Shifty Schiff,” “a totally corrupt politician, made up a horrible and fraudulent statement,” “a corrupt politician and a criminal,” “Shifty,” “Great corruption & dishonesty by Schiff,” “Corrupt politician ,lies are growing by the day,” “the most dishonest man in politics,” “a Corrupt Politician,” “Shifty Schiff,” “Shifty!” “corrupt,” “Corrupt politician Schiff should be investigated for fraud,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “fabricated my phone call,” “Corrupt politician Adam Schiff,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “a corrupt politician,” “Shifty,” “a proven liar, leaker & freak who is really the one who should be impeached,” “corrupt politician Schiff,” “Corrupt Adam,” “a corrupt politician,” “Corrupt politician,” “corrupt,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “corrupt politician Shifty Adam Schiff,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “Shifty,” “should be Impeached, and worse,” “Shifty Schiff,” “a corrupt politician,” “a corrupt politician,” “Shifty Adam Schiff, the biggest leaker in D.C., and a corrupt politician,” “Shifty Schiff,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “a Corrupt Politician,” “Corrupt Adam Schiff,” “Corrupt Adam Schiff,” “Corrupt Adam Schiff,” “Shifty Schiff,” “He is a fraud,” “Corrupt Congressman Adam Schiff, A very dishonest sleazebag,” “Shifty Schiff is Corrupt,” “Corrupt Adam Schiff,” “totally phony,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “Shifty,” “should be impeached for fraud,” “Shifty Schiff,” “Shifty Schiff,” “fraud,” “fabricated phone call, a crime,” “Impeach Schiff for FRAUD,” “a disgrace to our Country,” “Shifty Adam Schiff,” “Liddle’ Adam Schiff,” “Shifty,” “SHIFTY SCHIFF,” “lost all credibility,” “Adam Schiffty Schiff,” “LYIN’ SHIFTY SCHIFF,” “has also committed a crime, perhaps treason,” “a sick puppy,” “a lying disaster for our Country,” “should resign,” “a lowlife who should resign (at least!),” “should resign,” “He is sick,” “a lowlife,” “completely fabricated my words and read them to Congress as though they were said by me,” “Liddle’ Adam Schiff,” “very dishonest and bad,” “illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement Arrest for Treason?” “read a made up and totally fraudulent statement,” “Sick!” “made up what I actually said by lying to Congress,” “His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber,” “Liddle’ Adam Schiff,” “fraudulently and illegally inserted his made up & twisted words into my call with the Ukrainian President,” “He must resign,” “Corrupt Congressman Liddle’ Adam Schiff,” “fraudulently read to Congress,” “HE WAS DESPERATE,” “lied to Congress,” “fraud!” “HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT,” “lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public,” “totally made up my conversation with Ukraine President,” “a sick man,” “has zero credibility,” “Liddle’ Adam Schiff,” “has worked unsuccessfully for 3 years to hurt the Republican Party and President,” “Little Adam Schiff,” “#ShiftySchiff – an Embarrassment to our Country!” “spent two years knowingly and unlawfully lying and leaking,” “should be forced to resign from Congress!” “gone stone cold CRAZY,” “little Adam Schitt,” “Liddle Adam Schiff,” “the leakin’ monster of no control,” “Little,” “desperate to run for higher office,” “one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington,” “leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information,” “Must be stopped!” “Sleazy,” “totally biased,” “spends all of his time on television pushing the Dem loss excuse!”

And, while Far Left environmentalist and Democrat presidential contender Tom Steyer didn’t earn a long citation, he did earn one with some of the more colorful entries.

Tom Steyer:

“wacky,” “spent more dollars for NOTHING than any candidate in history,” “a disaster,” “setting records in $’s per vote,” “Impeachment King,” “something is just plain missing,” “a major loser,” “Just doesn’t get it,” “running low on cash,” “Nobody knows him,” “Weirdo,” “still trying to remain relevant by putting himself on ads begging for impeachment,” “Weirdo,” “doesn’t have the ”guts” or money to run for President,” “He’s all talk!” “Wacky,” “comes off as a crazed & stumbling lunatic,” “should be running out of money pretty soon,” “Wacky,” “totally unhinged,” “has been fighting me and my Make America Great Again agenda from beginning,” “never wins elections!”

Donald Trump’s Twitter insults and bragging were only outside the “norms” for today’s effete urban elite – they were appreciated and savored in every working guy’s bar and would have been understood and appreciated on the American frontier, or even among the ancient warriors of the Iliad, were insulting the enemy and vaunting over his defeat were key elements of the battle.

Sarpedon, counsel-bearer of the Lycians, what must you cower here?

You are a man unlearned in battle.

They’re lying when they say that you are the offspring of aegis-bearing Zeus, since you fall far short of those men who were born from Zeus in the times of earlier people.

But what a man do they say the might of Heracles was!

He was my father, stout-hearted. He had the soul of a lion.

When he came here for Laomedon’s horses with only six ships and few men, he sacked the city of Troy and widowed its streets.

But your soul is cowardly, and the people perish. And I think that you will never be a bulwark for the Trojans, even though you came from Lycia, not even if you are very strong.

No, I think that you will be tamed by me and will pass through Hades’ gates.
