Donald Trump Is the First President To Call People Schoolyard Names

[MineralMan]

With any luck, he will also be the last one to do that. For now, though, we have a unique opportunity to observe (and cringe at) schoolboy antics by the "leader of the free world."

There used to be a certain amount of decorum involved with presidential announcements. Calling a woman "Horseface" doesn't really fit into that model, somehow. But that doesn't deter Donwald J. Trump. He's fond of middle school-style name-calling. He used to call Kim Jong Un "Rocket Boy," but they've since "fallen in love" with each other, so they're holding hands during recess these days, instead.

Trump is fickle, see, like all pubescent boys. One day, he's doing the nasty with some girl at his school and the next he's calling her "Horseface." Puberty is an ever-changing phenomenon, and emotional snap judgments seem to be common.

We have an eighth-grade boy living in the White House. What dumbass thing will he do next? There's no way to predict the behavior of middle-school kids, sadly.

1. I think eighth grade gives him to much credit for...

... intelligent thinking. Eighth graders are certainly norm breakers, but they can, like understand climate change and stuff like that.

[MineralMan]

2. Well, some eighth grade boys can understand those things.

Others are preoccupied about their junk all the time.

3. He's an 8th grade schoolyard bully.

The name calling fits the model precisely. Bully.

8th grade is his maturity level. The same as his base.

4. His hero, Andrew Jackson, may have.

Don’t care to try to find out.

5. I can not describe in words...

How badly I want this monster to be tried, convicted and thrown in prison

8. +1000

[unblock]

6. Surely not the first, but certainly the most inartful

7. I think W did some of that

Just not to the extent of tRump. Who can forget "Turd blossom"
