Deutsch: beyond the stupidity, youre a pig, youre a bully and you are doing disgusting things to

this country.”

“First of all, he picked the wrong schoolyard to come into, I have to tell you. I’m not an employee of NBC so I’m going to go thug here. Mika’s a good friend of ours, she’s a good woman, a great mom, and he’s a pig. He’s a vulgar pig. Michelle Obama says we go high? I’m going to go low, you guys can go high.

“He’s physically disgusting to look at, that’s what I find ironic about the way he always goes after other people’s physical attributes. Beyond the fact that he’s obviously not well, the obvious vulgarity, the obvious stupidity, he’s not mentally ok and we have to start looking at that.

“And he’s disgusting to look at. I know everyone’s going to say ‘Donny!…’ [editors note: which they do, with co-host Geist grumbling about going low) but enough is enough with this disgusting vulgar man to talk about a woman that way.”

Addressing Trump directly, Deutsch said, “And the irony of it that you physically look like you do, beyond the stupidity, you’re a pig, you’re a bully and you are doing disgusting things to this country.”

Interjected Geist, “Doesn’t it lower the discussion?”

“Yes,” said Deutsch, “it absolutely does but maybe it’s time we all stop tippy-toeing. I’m taking the low ground, but you know what? He goes after a woman that way, he goes after a friend that way, he’s a vulgar pig, he’s vulgar to look at, he’s disgusting the way he behaves himself as the president. I’m sorry. I probably won’t be on the show again.”

Later, Deutsch, directly addressing Trump, said, “I’ll meet you in the schoolyard, brother.”

“No, we want to take it out of the schoolyard,” Scarborough said.

I have called out others for their incivility when posting on pblic forums when I have been attacked for my views. But I do so in a manner that does not use vulgarity, but in away that infuriates them by being calm, using correct language.

Donald Trump is a digusting pig of a man . A man so insecure in his physicality and apearance, that in order to feel superior, he has to tear others down. What disgusts me is the fact now, Melania defends his abusive ways. She is not fit to be First Lady, falling way short of speaking out against bullying. I do not feel sorry for her. She made her bed.

someone to call out the ugly pig for what he is. I hope more do the same on national TV so millions can see it! Trump is getting far too much of a free pass as he sinks this nation and that is what he's counting on, so many Americans are silent naive lambs.

go after him on his looks. Donny is right here, it is time we all stop tippy-toeing around this pig and hit him back below the belt. He doesn't respond to valid, responsible criticism. You have to hit him on his intelligence, his masculinity, his wealth, looks or popularity, otherwise it doesn't get a rise out of him.

It's like Trump has reverse-Body Dysmorphic Disorder, where an ugly, fat person looks in the mirror and sees a handsome, slim person.

Love him!! I had to see the clip several times. Thank you for the transcript, also.
I'm going to take both the high road and the low road in one go: today & in the future, completely inundating twitter with pictures of Barack Obama BEING the US President.

It's a reminder of where our own passions and standards lie; it's a demonstration of what we love & appreciate. It's a showcase of the gorgeous Obama family being everything that trump isn't.

The "low road" being that it'll enrage trump. Luckily, finding the buttons on him isn't all that difficult.
