http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/04/06/steve-bannon-calls-jared-kushner-a-cuck-and-globalist-behind-his-back.htmlDonald Trumps chief strategist Stephen Bannon has called the presidents senior advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner a cuck and a globalist during a time of high tension between the two top aides, several Trump administration officials told The Daily Beast.
The fighting between Kushner and Bannon has been nonstop in recent weeks, according to sources who spoke on condition of anonymity. Its been an open secret that Bannon and Kushner often clash face-to-face, according to senior officials.
One official said Bannon has lately complained about Kushner trying to shiv him and push him out the door and likened him to a fifth column in the White House.

(1,204 posts)8. It's one of the newer insults that has become popular among the "alt-right"
Essentially, anyone who isn't a far-right white supremacist nationalist is a "cuck"

her husband is also high on the list. Far higher up than you are.

The problematic history of the alt-rights favorite new insult.

His use of it here could also be a double swipe. Calling out Trump himself out as the "bull". <- I think that is the proper term.
If youve been on Twitter in the last few months, chances are youve come across cuck, a word that youd previously only seen while your browser was in Incognito Mode.
Its literal meaning references a submissive man sexually cuckolded by a woman. Now, it is a catch-all among the alt-right, in the dark corners of the internet where #feminismisacancer hashtags are a badge of pride and the real enemy is PC culture, where cuck has become shorthand for any perceived weakness, or rather, perceived reluctance to exploit strength.
Although cuckold has been used since the thirteenth century (the word itself derived from cuckoo birds, which lay eggs in anothers nest), cuck was added to Urban Dictionary in 2007. Any more exact tracing of its origins is lost in the dense knot of the internet and the speed with which its population seized upon an insult to emasculate others.
The word gained political potency during the 2016 election in the portmanteau cuckservative (cuck + conservative) used to imply that the mainstream conservatives of the Jeb Bush variety are weak and effeminate. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is not a cuckservative. He says what he wants and doesnt care if its offensive. In reference to Trumps comments about Megyn Kelly having blood coming out of her wherever, radio host Rush Limbaugh snarked, If Trump were your average, ordinary, cuckolded Republican, he would have apologized by now.

I'm confident that there's a considerable amount of anti-Semitic insults flowing through the White House. Looking forward to their public disclosure.

(55,894 posts)9. Globalist as opposed to a Nationalist? They use "nationalist" as a euphemism for White Supremacist
Bannon's big money backer, Mercer, also is called a Nationalist.
They are NeoNazis.
