Trump's insult of Meghan Markle is right out of his tired playbook
The insult-comic-in-chief has a very small repertoire of insults.

After calling the Duchess of Sussex “nasty” days before his first state visit to the United Kingdom, President Donald Trump lied on Sunday by claiming he never used the word, a denial that was quickly and easily refuted by an audio recording.
Not only did he call Meghan Markle “nasty,” he has used the same insult before and since to attack dozens of other rivals — and even a popular lingerie company.
Mere hours after denying he used the word, Trump attacked the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, calling him “nasty,” with the word in quotes.
Trump most famously used the insult to dismiss his 2016 presidential election opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, in their final debate. After she joked about his record of tax avoidance, he interrupted her to say, “such a nasty woman.”
But he has hardly reserved the term for Democrats. Indeed, since he joined Twitter in March 2009, he has used the line at least 17 other times to dismiss those he disagreed with.
