A considered response to Trumps critics: Your momma!I know I speak for all 320 million Americans when I say we did not know that word [...dotard]. Every one of us had to look it up. But Trump, Smarty McThinkalot that he is, knows how to talk to us. However else we may be divided, virtually all American voters have finished the third grade and therefore understand the language of playground insults. And nobody speaks it better than Trump.
As a patriotic American, I should be helping my country perfect the adolescent arts. And so, as gift to the president, I have composed a first draft of his State of the Union address:
My fellow Americans, including all of my enemies and haters, you idiot-holes. There are those who say that I am unfit to hold this office and who are calling for my impeachment. But what they do not realize is this: Im rubber, youre glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you. Tag, no tag-backs. Yes, Democrat jerk-weeds kept us from repealing Obamacare, but we passed a huge tax cut for the rich. In your face! And after years of nothing from President Wimpy McSissypants, I told ISIS: Talk to the hand, because the face aint listening.
Let the word go forth to all fatheads who say my administration stinks of corruption: He who smelt it dealt it. Let all dog-breath goobers who say I am dragging down Republicans know this: LALALALALALA! I cant hear you! And let everybody who thinks me a failure hear this: I know you are, but what am I? Your FACE is a failure.
The state of my union is bigger and more powerful than the state of your union. And your momma knows it.
There is also several paragraphs of how Kim Jong Un should have responded to trump. They could have had an back and forth of 3rd grade insult tweets until the grown-ups in the room took away their phones, thus ending the nuclear standoff.
Unfortunately, there is a paywall, but for those of you who can get through and read the whole thing:

(12,448 posts)Milbank perfectly catches the playground insults, With the "my button is bigger than your button" tweet, Trump has gone into self-parody. It would be funny if it weren't deadly dangerous.

(297,655 posts)and I come back and it's ".. trump, the dotard this and trump is a dotard that.." but I never looked it up until now..
noun: dotard; plural noun: dotards
"an old person, especially one who has become weak or senile."
It fits trump.. I don't know of any other older person like this.. and I know a lot of older peeps.

(20,730 posts)To those who think it vulgar for the president to boast about the size and functionality of his nuclear button (after boasting during the campaign about the size and functionality of his, er, love button), I offer two thoughts: 1) You booger-munchers make me puke. And, 2) Suck it up, you snot-faced phlegm-wads.
