I have a very low opinion of Trump but honestly I can't even. [View all]

In a post attacking the media for its coverage of his strike on Iran, President Donald Trump referred to CNN host Anderson Cooper as “Allison Cooper” in a seemingly homophobic dig, implying that he is basically a woman because he is gay. The insult also implies that being stereotypically feminine is a bad thing.

“The sites that we hit in Iran were totally destroyed, and everyone knows it,” Trump wrote. “Only the Fake News would say anything different in order to try and demean, as much as possible — And even they say they were ‘pretty well destroyed!'”

“Working especially hard on this falsehood is Allison Cooper of Fake News CNN, Dumb Brian L. Roberts, Chairman of ‘Con’cast, Jonny Karl of ABC Fake News, and always, the Losers of, again, Concast’s NBC Fake News. It never ends with the sleazebags in the Media, and that’s why their Ratings are at an ALL TIME LOW — ZERO CREDIBILITY!”

end of snip

Honestly, I was called a sissy a few times when I was in middle and even high school. But for the love of God, he is 79 freaking years old. He is literally the President of the United States. Frankly, I can't see even the math 1 repeaters I am going to have next semester being so immature as to do this. Certainly not in a permanent online post. I mean, I seriously wonder if I started drinking at some point and am making all of this up in some sort of drunken stupor.
