Could I ask one favor about Trump?

We justifiably slammed the assholes who constantly called Obama "Obummer," "Obumwa," etc.

Most of these "insults" were either juvenile, or racist.

So call Trump, "Trump."

Just because the assholes act like a bunch of playground jerks, doesn't mean we have to, especially by calling Trump "Drumpf."

Since Trump is acting like a fascist, it's legitimate to call him a fascist.

Is "Drumpf" on Trump's birth certificate?

My father changed his name when he got married, dropped a suffix from it.

Should I be known by my father's old name? Obviously, no.

We are better people than the Trump fan club.

We need to act like we are.

If he acts like Hitler, or sounds like Hitler, and continues on Twitter the way he has, yes.

1) Yes, because it's my venting of contempt, repulsion, and disrespect - a small and ineffective token, and yes "playground jerk" behavior, but puny me can only write letters to the editor where I can't use it, so here and in my e-mail communications are the only places I can use it.

2) My more "mature" rational was to emphasize that he, who has made immigration so central in his deplorable list of things, has immigration incredibly central in his own life: grandparents, mother, and two wives. It is to magnify his hypocrisy, how he has been impacted by immigration, even down to his grandfather's having changed his name, the same as how most or nearly all immigrants have done, have had to do via government employees mangling their names, or to escape their past.

So, not-sorry, I myself will continue to use DRUMPF.

*******But on the topic of requests, I really wish that just about every mention of him, not only here but all over the websites, would NOT include a posting of his damnable FACE. When I posted about this before, there were SIX pictures of his face just on the Politico first screen. Why does every mention of him need to include a picture of his damnable FACE?!1
