I wonder why Mr. Trump thinks it necessary to, more than once, call Anderson Cooper "Allison Cooper"?


Such a victim this Mr. Trump is that he needs to speak and behave in such wondrously presidential ways.

Calling names.

So admirable to me. What a real man.

    I don’t wonder why he say’s things like that – I know why. It is because he is a nasty man that gets off on saying things like that - and he thinks it will win him support. He has also referred to Cooper as a she. I’m sure he will lose a lot more votes then the ones he gains from those types of comments. Cheers!

    I'm thinking maybe everything he says or does is his plea for support. 
    Probably like all politicians.

    Calling names is a sign of immaturity.

    Mispronouncing names repeatedly can be a sign of senility or dementia.

    With this "person" it's probably both.

    I find this example immature of Mr. Trump for sure.

    I'll take it if it's the nuts are in a "Mr Goodbar" candy bar,   my favorite candy bar.  Ha.

    To appeal to his supporters who are largely homophobic, racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic, or at least tolerant of those who are.

    I do know many Trump supporters who don't fit all of those adjectives but I get your point. I personally know many of his supporters who, to me, are, and fit, all of the adjectives.

    Likely because of Cooper referring to Trump as a fascist and the network referring to him as Hitler.  

    I don't like that sort of a name.   It is a cheap shot.

    To me, Mr. Trump entered the world of politics years ago calling people names and being aggressive. And then he seems to take more offense when others may be offensive back at him. If he dishes it out, I'd think it'd be best for him to know how to "take it."
    I wish he'd stop. And I wish others would stop.

    I'm unsure of which name you found a cheap shot. Calling him a fascist , to me, is simply commenting on how someone may find his pollical views
    Yet, yes, I find calling one "Hitler' extreme (though I see some of Trump's political actions similar but I don't find him the 'extreme' Hitler at this point) --
    But --
    to me, Mr. Trump calling Mr. Cooper a Ms. Cooper is just downright insulting in an immature fashion. Attacking one's gender in a derogatory way is a cheap shot to me.

    Welby, I thought you might find this article interesting. A comparison to Hitler is at this point, more about his path to power and his rhetoric. We don't yet know how far Trump would go if given unchecked power, but his plans and threats should not be underestimated.

    Thank you!!
    Yes!
    You've said it well for me. from what I've noticed, I find Mr. Trump's  recent power tactics and his rhetoric as similar to the 'early' years of Mr. Hitler.
    I will read the article.

    I think the cheap shot was Trump calling Anderson...Allison. 

    Trump does not hit first. But he hits back 10x as he got hit.    

    Calling Trump, Hitler is the time of rhetoric that has caused assassination attempts.  And is a form of Holocaust denial.  It minimizes the travesty that happened at Hilters hands.  Trump has Jewish and Arab grandchildren.   

    As a Republican I have been called names by the left for as long as I can remember.  I have tried not to stoop to their level.  But I cannot deny my joy, when the left had a Republican who would get down on their level and call the names back.

    Cool we agree that Mr. Trump used a cheap shot at Mr. Cooper. :)

    I do disagree with you that Trump does not hit first, though.
    Like I said earlier, I found him, right when he first entered the political world, coming out hitting everyone first (without anyone hitting him beforehand). And even if he just 'counterattacks, it'd be more impressive to me if he chose to refuse to lower himself to name-calling at all, regardless of who "started it first." I'd love to see the name calling stop from everyone, regardless of who is doing it.

    I am afraid to say this in a way, but I find Trump's own actions, all by himself, may have helped lead to the life attempts. But I highly and vehemently believe that he did not deserve those attempts on his life. But he might try to be less divisive. I find him not interested at all in bringing the country together. Instead, I find him just wanting his way or no way at all. 

    Trump's relatives ,to me ,have nothing to do with how he behaves and why he may get unappealing adjectives equated with him. nor do I find it a form of Holocaust denial. When I find some similarities, it's not those very extreme portions of Hitler's actions. more of hitler's 'beginnings.'

    I am very sorry you have been called names simply for being a part of the party of your choice. And I have also  heard many Democrats being called names by republicans.
    I hear it happen at times from some people in both of the two major parties. Do know I have tried in my life to be open to all possibilities. And I try to see the individual people, instead of lumping individuals into a Party of any kind and label them.

    I disagree also that Trump was the first to name-call 'back at the Democrats' like he does. In fact, in my life, I've not heard a major politician in any party publicly, and consistently, talk in such derogatory, insulting ways as he does.

    He calls everyone he doesn't like by some childish name.  He believes he's demeaning that person when in truth, it reflects more negatively on him than on the person he's name-calling.  He's the typical playground bully.

    I find it that way, too.
