George Lakoff offered his insight here regarding the DRUMPF NAME CHANGE:
Thwimpie - A Spoiled Brat Named Little Donnie Thwimp
It has been observed that he often acts like a spoiled child. In fact, he was a spoiled child. When his father tried to teach him personal responsibility by making him take on a paper route in Manhattan, he kept out the rain by getting the family chauffer to drive him around in the family Cadillac on his paper route!
In financing building, he got loans on his father’s collateral housing empire that would not rent to African-Americans or Latinos. He got tax breaks through his father’s influence with city officials, who depended on his father’s political donations. When things don’t go his way, he just makes up lies and depends on then power of his name to get him through.
And he renames is opponents: Little Marco, Lyin’ Ted, Crooked Hillary.
Suppose he were renamed.
Suppose he were renamed.
FOCUS: Jane Mayer | Donald Trump, American Oligarch
Jane Mayer, The New Yorker
Mayer writes: "The key measure of an American oligarch's success is the difference between his official tax rate and his effective rate-the amount that actually comes out of his pocket on April 15th. By that yardstick, Trump achieved the oligarch's ultimate ambition: for almost two decades, he had the ability to live like a sultan while paying nothing - less than a cleaning lady or a kid in his first job - to support the public good."
