Give Trump a nickname

Donald Trump doesn’t seem to have any problems calling other presidential candidates, along with others such as newscaster Megyn Kelly, names. Not to mention women,Hispanics, Muslims, blacks, the handicapped, the list goes on. Just recently Trump has referred to Gov. John Kasich as “1 for 41,” former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as “crooked Hillary,” Sen. Ted Cruz as “lying

Ted,” Sen. Marco Rubio as “little Marco,” Gov. Jeb Bush as “low energy Jeb., Plus Trump has also told many lies, and then went on to reverse his comments when they proved to be not true.

I can’t imagine why no one has not given Trump a nickname since he has given everyone else one. He could be called “Bankrupt Trump” having filed for business bankruptcies four times. He could also be called “loud mouth Trump” for his loud and offensive comments about people who don’t agree with him. Another name he could be called is “con man Trump” for allegations of conning people out of millions at his so called Trump University real estate school. Three lawsuits against Trump, including one filed by the New York attorney general, continue to work their way through the courts. We could lump all his name calling of others into just one nickname for him, “Trump the name caller” or “Trump the bragger.” Trump has earned the right to be called each and everyone of these names.

Guess what: If someone called him one of his earned names, he would go through the roof and come back swinging. He can give it out, but he can’t take it.
