Trump Lashes Out

Here’s a headline I’m getting tired of seeing:

“Trump Lashes Out At …”

If you go to your favorite search engine and search for “Trump lashes out” you will find the following targets of Trump’s anger:

  • Iran
  • Malcolm Turnbull, Australian Prime Minister  
  • Democrats
  • Protesters (Trump calls them “professional anarchists and thugs”)
  • Federal Judge James Robart (Trump calls him “so-called judge”)
  • Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel (Trump calls him a “hater”)
  • News media (Trump says “crooked media” and “sleazy media”)
  • Journalists
  • Arnold Schwarzenegger
  • Paul Ryan (Wisconsin Congressman and Speaker of the House)
  • John Lewis (Georgia Congressman and civil rights leader)
  • Berkeley university
  • Bill Clinton
  • Hillary Clinton
  • Barack Obama
  • Michelle Obama
  • Sexual assault accusers (Trump calls them “liars”, vows to sue)
  • Rigged voting system
  • Rigged debate commission
  • New York Times
  • Washington Post
  • Senator Jeff Flake (Republican from Arizona)
  • FBI
  • CIA
  • Intelligence Officials
  • Alec Baldwin
  • Saturday Night Live
  • BuzzFeed
  • CNN
  • Bloomberg News
  • Wall Street Journal
  • Meryl Streep (actress and philanthropist)
  • Jeff Bezos (Amazon CEO)
  • Khizr Khan (Muslim father of fallen US soldier)
  • Chuck Jones (Carrier’s union leader)
  • “Hamilton” audience that booed Pence 
  • Mother of crying baby at Trump event
  • Maureen Dowd (columnist and author, Trump says “neurotic dope”)
  • Foreign-lobbyist donations
  • Alicia Machado (former Miss Universe, Trump says “Miss Piggy”)
  • GOP senators (Trump: “GOP traitors and self-righteous hypocrites”)
  • Russell Moore (Christian theologian)
  • Fire marshals at Trump events
  • Senator Ted Cruz (Republican from Texas)
  • George Will (Pulitzer Prize–winning conservative commentator)
  • Jon Stewart (comedian, actor, former host of a satirical news show)
  • Jeb Bush (businessman, politician, and 43rd Governor of Florida)
  • Hugh Hewitt (conservative radio talk show host)

There are probably many more – Trump seems to stay pissed off at somebody or something. But I’m ending the list here. There comes a point when I have to say “point made, ‘nuff said” and call it a night.
