The only people he likes are Putin and Kim Jong Un

He hates everyone

The New York Times put some poor intern on the thankless job of cataloging all of Donald Trump’s twitter insults. It’s an amazing list. The two top targets seem to be Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton and interestingly, he says much the same things about both:

Jeb Bush
FORMER FLORIDA GOVERNOR
“will do anything to stay at the trough”
“low energy guy”
“at the bottom of the barrel”
“he should go home and relax!”
“low energy”
“sad sack”
“did poorly last night in the debate”
“chances of winning are zero”
“weak & ineffective”
“campaign is a disaster”
“low-energy individual”
“low-energy ‘stiff’”
“has no chance”
“a total embarrassment to himself and his family”
“a sad case”
“took millions of $’s of hit ads on me”
“spent $59 million & done”
“failed candidate”
“SO SAD”
“ridiculous”
“he’s bottom (and gone), I’m top (by a lot)”
“poor”
“really pathetic”
“phony”
“weak”
“low energy”
“campaign is a disaster”
“a loser”
“can’t win”
“terrible on Face the Nation”
“a basket case”
“false advertising”
“weak”
“ineffective”
“campaign is a disaster”
“puppet”
“puppet”
“cratered”
“if Jeb Bush were more competent he could not have lost the skirmish with Marco”
“stupid message”
“VERY weak on illegal immigration”
“campaign is in total disarray”
“paid ridiculous amounts of money”
“if he can’t manage his campaign, how can he manage our countries finances?”
“had a tiny 300 person crowd”
“totally lost”
“too soft”
“our country needs more energy and spirit than you can provide!”
“pathetic”
“doubled Florida State debt”
“no more Bushes”
“fell more than anybody”
“is miserable”
“just doesn’t get it”
“will never secure the border”
“will NEVER Make America Great Again”

Hillary Clinton
FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE
“lied last week”
“doesn’t have the strength or stamina to be president”
“totally flawed candidate”
“stupidity”
“pathetic”
“LIED at the debate last night”
“SAD!”
“We need a #POTUS with great strength & stamina. Hillary does not have that.”
“lied”
“disloyal person”
“weak and ineffective”
“no strength, no stamina”
“does not have the STRENGTH or STAMINA to be President”
“won’t call out radical Islam”
“will be soundly defeated”
“afraid of Obama & the emails”
“SHE HAS NO STRENGTH OR STAMINA”
“corruption is what she’s best at”
“weak”
“totally incompetent as a manager and leader”
“no strength or stamina”
“she looked lost”
“her record is so bad”
“the trade deal is a disaster, she was always for it!”

According to people who’ve been following his campaign, he watches “the shows” and determines based upon his gut feelings what are his opponents’ weaknesses.

I think in this case, Darryl Hammond has captured the Trump persona perfectly: he’s calling Jeb Bush and Clinton weak women.

Nothing new in that, of course. Republicans have been doing this Democrats of both genders forever. And it’s often quite effective (as the flaccid, green-tea drinking John Kerry can attest.) Trump’s just turned it on one of their own.

The United States of America
NATION
“get tough and smart U.S., or we won’t have a country anymore”
“looks more and more like a paper tiger”
“we are weak”
“we are letting criminals knowingly stay in our country”
“Iran ripped us off by making one of the best deals of any kind in history”
“out negotiated again”
“has become a dumping ground for the world”

Love it ‘r leave it buddy …

Read the whole thing. The list is unbelievably vast.
