Donald Trump’s latest “nasty question” meltdown goes completely off the rails
For all his erratic behavior, Donald Trump is remarkably consistent in his psychopathy. For instance, when a female reporter asks Trump a question he doesn’t know how to answer, he insists that it’s a “nasty question.” This has long been a part of his sexist rhetoric; he once called Hillary Clinton a “nasty woman.” But today was a little different.
Donald Trump decided to attack a male reporter today for asking a “nasty question.” Wait a minute, is Trump suddenly branching out? As it turns out, no. The male reporter in question was CNN’s Jeremy Diamond. He’s the guy who handed the microphone to Yamiche Alcindor last week, after Trump called her “nasty” and had the mic taken away from her.
In other words, because Jeremy Diamond sided with a woman, Donald Trump now sees Diamond as being no better than a woman, and he’s hurling the same insult at Diamond that he would normally hurl at a woman. This is a classic behavior for a sexist, and it’s as clear as ever that Trump’s sexism knows no bounds.
