The one word that seems to silence the tRump-supporting deplorables: weakling

Call him an idiot and they sluff it off with ease as elitist loser-dom.

Call him a liar and enjoy a big helping of whataboutism.

But call him a weakling and the stammering gets started in earnest. There’s no better offense against a supposed strongman than to point out the abject weakness the strongman persona hopes to mask.

which describes a man who gets off watching his wife having sex with other men. Used as a term of derision for a man who isn’t strong enough to dominate his wife “properly.”

is the "reclaiming" of their wife after she has sex with another man.

I don't know if this is true, just what I've read. I personally can't relate to that phenomenon.

Idiot- oh, yes. Liar - part of his DNA. Weakling - coward, afraid. In his world, money makes him strong through bribery and intimidation. Without it he is nothing. Sadly, money does indeed buy you the illusion of strength. Yet, somehow I seem hopeful. I do believe that we will overcome the madness of tRUMP.

Every move, every word, every tweet demonstrates the lack of character and courage. He is the weakest person ever to think about running for president, and were it not for television, he'd be nowhere near politics.

complains that people are being “unfair” to him. The rich guy who feels abused when the cops give him a ticket for speeding in his Lamborghini (“it’s not fair that I’m not allowed to drive over the speed limit when I can afford a car that is designed to break the speed limit”).

Kinda sad that the republicans all go in for a whiney weakling who dodged the draft five freaking times. The republican misleader will get no parade or salute from me.

JUST DISCOVERED: Long-suppressed documentary foto purports to show republican misleader Dirty Donny doing his workout thingy at a hidden location outside Moscow while sporting his secret russian uniform:
