The problem with "veiled" insults at Trump

Is that he won't get that they are about him.

So many headlines have been about how Meghan McCain insulted 45 without mentioning his name...which is why he won't get that they were directed at him.

This is the idiot who has to have his name sprinkle several times through his one page briefings in order to hold his attention. If he doesn't hear his name at least once an hour by the news, he goes insane.

Plus he is too stupid to understand subtlety and the same goes his for his cult of deplorables.

Granted he wasn't the target audience...it was the rest of us watching. He would be more upset that he wasn't mentioned by name than any of the digs and criticisms that were directed towards him.

The man is a narcissistic moron.

I don't know how he will be able to avoid seeing all that?

and that they finally realize that, like Obama said, we're all on the same team - and that Trump's grifting, deceit and nastiness have no place in our government.

he is such a weasel. But I hope it stung and makes him clutch his Big Mac a little tighter when he watches the replay in his bedroom - alone

He wouldn't get them even if they were direct insults. Those insults were ABOUT him, but ultimately directed at the rest of us.

Trump will never have a moment of self-awareness, nor will he ever leave on his own. He will only be removed from power and hopefully these words help get us closer to that day.

If he hears his name, he wins, even if vile insults are dished.
