Trump's use of the "nasty" word

I hope someone soon - will say back to Trump "My question / statement was NOT NASTY". He used it in the press briefing today to answer a question from the press; he said "that's a nasty question". He seems to use it more on women. How DARE he insult people like that!

3. Yeah, that struck me as such an odd word to use against your political opponent

when he threw it out about Hillary in 2016. He’s been consistent in his usage of it since then, and in a translation from Trumpese to standard English it seems to mean “an adjective to describe someone who dares to criticize me”.

And he's just projecting again as usual. He is the nasty one. He is just such a disgusting POS and I think he knows it and deep down I think he hates himself.

12. Unfortunately, I think he's too much of a narcissist to ever off himself.

I don't think he even realizes that he hates himself, he just continues to project it on to other people.

His mother used it on him a lot when he talked back. So his reaction is to use it whenever a question comes up that he doesn't want to answer.
