A U.S. Senator Called Trump a 'Jackass' (Why That Isn't Shocking)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When Virginia Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine called President Donald Trump a “jackass” in early February, Kaine engaged in a political practice that is as old as the nation.

Probably no animal is used more as an object of ridicule and derision in U.S. politics. Kaine’s epithet was hurled because Trump hadn’t shaken hands with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi before his 2020 State of the Union address.

Yet jackasses are so entangled in American political history that I must ask: Where would politics be in this country without jackasses?

Object of ridicule

While researching our forthcoming book, “The Art of the Political Putdown: The Greatest Comebacks, Ripostes, and Retorts in History,” my late collaborator Will Moredock and I found several references to politicians who responded to a rival’s insult by comparing them to the jackass, which is a male donkey, or sometimes the closely related mule.
