He a grade-A moron. He doesn't know the rules and he is too dumb to learn them. That's why Republican voters love him. He talks like they do when they are posting their comments on news websites.

They say President 'Con' but Pelosi and Schumer.
They must be called out.
He does it to patronize them - only he is important. Fool doesn't know how much power Speaker Pelosi wields at this moment but he will learn

Trump is saying he is the superior who may call the Speaker and Leader by their first names while he may only be referred to by his title.

I saw it for years in the Army and never much liked it.

Harriet Tubman

or Abe for Abraham Lincoln

I tell them you did not know them personally so you have no right to use their first names.


It is one of my pet peeves
