Stop calling Trump a "Bully". Start calling him a "Thug"

[Tom Rinaldo]

A Bully will steal your lunch money. A Thug will take your life. We are too often slow to use sharp enough terms to describe what is happening to America. Russia didn't "meddle" in our elections, it subverted them. For far too long Trump was accused of "uttering falsehoods" rather than telling flat out lies.

Thug keeps it simple but gets right to the heart of what Trump actually is. I kind of like "Thug in Chief".

1. A low life scumbag street thug.

2. No reason it can't be both.

Besides, calling him a bully has a certain irony to it because of Melania's anti-bullying nonsense.

3. Orange Joffrey will do in a pinch too.

Choad works well too.

10. You mean... this Joffrey?

It was a great GOT moment.

[Jamastiene]

12. Yep.

That one. It really was great, wasn't it?

4. bully and thug are both words that Trump and his ilk will happily wear

It needs to be something demeaning that will get under their skin.

5. I prefer 'goon'

But, thug works well.

6. The less in your face version should at least be "Thuggish Behavior"

Condition the public to thinking of Trump as a Mob Boss even when it isn't "politically appropriate" to call him one. Nancy and Chuck may not feel free to literally call Trump a "Mob Boss", but I can easily see them both condemning Trump for his "Thuggish Behavior".

Like what he has done already today.

7. I call him a monster or just the devil. n/t

8. Trump is only a bully or a thug b/c he can do it from afar. Trump is nothing more than a

scared little kid. He acts out like a spoiled eight year old. If trump was a common man as middle class, working class, or many other class he would have been chastised years ago. Trump is balless,(no moxie, or nuts) he is scared if he confronts a person face to face that he could get hurt. Most of the ppl. I know and deal with from day to day would have fired a person with the same personality as trump. If a person like him worked for me and said the shit he says, a few of my people would have kicked his sorry fat ass a few times. He acts out only because he is allowed to get away with it, and has tripe dwellers that love his pimple ass.

9. He's an infectious abcess of pus

on the body of the American Republican party, putting the rest of the world at risk of disease and death.

11. We've got to get this thug on tape !

13. He reminds me of John Gotti more and more everyday.

Showing his current mannerisms.
