Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports the keeper passing the word that when it comes to calling reporters derogatory names, the POTUS—with his “piggy” and “bad person” is a minor leaguer.
As he thinks back over the years at some of the names he was called, often in a saloon or political setting, the keeper would inform the POTUS that if he is going to use an animal to designate dumbness it should not be a pig, the pig being one of the smartest creatures going. Often in the keeper’s reporting experience the animal involved in the name calling was a horse, or a part of a horse.
Also, there are many more powerful designations for political opponents than “bad person.” The keeper remembers “liberal jackass” and “innocent idiot” being hurled at him. Profane adjectives usually dressed up the names. Once at a DNR legislative hearing on the use of leghold traps, a trapper called the keeper “a GD rodent lover” and another time an insurance man said he was a “A biased SOB.”
You need to up your reporter name calling game, Mr. POTUS.
In the meantime, we have a number of derogatory names for you, some of them animal related and others suggesting an impossible physical contortion for you to use to impress the MAGA gang at your next rally, press conference or Cabinet meeting.
