recently, the new york times produced a veritable thesaurus of trumpian twittery <u+2014> every insulting tweet of the donald<u+2019>s that their researchers could find since he declared his candidacy. it<u+2019>s quite a collection in which he goes after 282 people, places, and things in his uniquely abusive fashion. (don<u+2019>t even get me started on his tweets about hillary clinton; you<u+2019>d be reading until tomorrow.) here, instead, is a relatively limited list of his, a tiny entry of classic nastiness aimed at a peripheral character in this year<u+2019>s election campaign, senator elizabeth warren:

of course, warren falls into a category that is commendable indeed. she doesn<u+2019>t take this sort of crud from anyone <u+2014> and certainly not any man. and throughout election 2016, she<u+2019>s responded blisteringly to trump<u+2019>s abuse. the most recent moment of this: after the donald so infamously leaned into his mic in the third presidential debate and half-whispered the phrase <u+201c> such a nasty woman ,<u+201d> while his opponent was speaking about social security. (<u+201c>my social security payroll contribution will go up, as will donald<u+2019>s, assuming he can<u+2019>t figure out how to get out of it.<u+201d>) warren later rose at a clinton rally in new hampshire and offered a classic riposte , the sort of thing that hasn<u+2019>t been part of the trumpian playbook when it comes to the women he goes after. <u+201c>get this, donald,<u+201d> she said. <u+201c>nasty women are tough. nasty women are smart. and nasty women vote. and, on november 8th, we nasty women are going to march our nasty feet to cast our nasty votes to get you out of our lives forever.<u+201d> 




if there<u+2019>s another <u+201c>nasty woman<u+201d> around who got the donald deep in his abusive soul, it<u+2019>s been tomdispatch regular ann jones. back in june, before it was the subject of real attention, she pointed out the blazingly obvious (to her, but not to the massed mass media of election 2016): that many women recognized the donald, saw right through him because <u+201c>every woman who has ever had to deal with a trump-style tyrant in her own home or at her job already has trump<u+2019>s number. we recognize him as a bloated specimen of the common garden variety controlling man, a familiar type of household hitler. in fact, donald j. trump perfectly fits the profile of an ordinary wife abuser.<u+201d> once again, today, she<u+2019>s a step ahead of the rest of the media crowd when it comes to the essence of the donald in this end-game moment. donald trump, the greatest victim in the history of the world ann jones <u+2022> november 1, 2016 <u+2022> 3,000 words (reprinted from tomdispatch by permission of author or representative)
