STICKS AND STONES: PUBLISHED IN A GROUP OF NEWSPAPERS.

STICKS AND STONES

Perhaps  we “elitists” have been wrong and the “deplorables” are right. Just perhaps, he is on to something. He demolished fifteen other candidates with his name –calling. I hadn’t thought of Jeb as having “low energy” until thankfully Trump pointed it out. I was unaware of Rubio’s height until the now President started calling Rubio “Little Marco.” Then there was “Lying Ted.”  One by one they fell and not only did they fall; they actually seemed to take on the character that Trump had stung them with. Jeb could barely respond to the barbs being hurled at him due to his low energy. Rubio seemed to shrink even more in stature. And Ted, we always knew he was a liar, we were just too sissy -liberal to say it.

Trump wasn’t quite as creative with Hillary. He called her “Lying Hillary,” but with all due respect to Ted Cruz, he asked Ted’s permission, before he did it.
My question was how did the president learn to be so effective at name-calling.
I found out that he studied at over fifty-five playgrounds frequented mostly by
eight-year-olds . Once again the eight-year-olds were not chosen wily -nily. First
President and his teams studied a group of politicians and after a great deal of time an observation; they decided the pols were most likely to be effected by the slurs slung by eight-year-olds. He also noticed the meaner the slur the more tears that were shed. That was very important.

Wowee! And one more Wowee! It turns out that President’s Trump’s number one adversary is NONE OTHER than North Korea’s Kim Jong.  Kim also prides himself on dishing out verbal abuse. It should be noted that not only are our military experts  studying North Korea’s nuclear arsenal, but we are also studying Kim’s over the top insults.

 Both “leaders” have found their match. Kim Jong called President George W. Bush a “cowboy buffoon.” He has also targeted his insults at world leaders around the world. Not to be outdone President Trump has insulted most of our allies.

It seems that these two great verbal swordsmen of our times are going face-to-face with insults. Kim Jong called Trump an “old lunatic!” Trump promptly retaliated
with one of his wittiest retorts to date calling Kim “short and fat.”

Now I would have suggested that both could have done better, but it happens once again that I’m wrong! Kim was so hurt by being called “fat and short” that he has spent hour upon hour in front of a huge especially made mirror posing and stretching.

He has even sought out the very best psychiatrist in North Korea, who has assured him of the many wonderful features of being short. He told Kim,” You don’t have to bend as much as tall folks.” As far as being fat, the psychiatrist explained that in North Korea that is not known for good food, Kim has proven otherwise by his girth, which should definitely help his country as far as tourism. The psychiatrist closes their meetings by mentioning just how handsome Kim Jong looks in his uniform.

 President Trump has dealt with the “old” issue by putting on his favorite tank top and flexing his muscles one hundred times in front of Melania every evening before they go to sleep. The president also throws some jabs and mutters, “Kimsie, I’m going to make your nose even flatter!”

With some very good luck these two characters will continue to insult each other with similar witticisms and leave it at that!
