I read a lot of posts here (and elsewhere) referring to Trump as "orange man", "orangutan" etc. I'm all for name calling and all but I am black and wouldn't feel right calling him orange. I used it a couple of times on the forum but I don't care for it. It didn't sit right with me. Am I making too much of this?

(3,242 posts)that I cannot put his name into print...even the derogatory ones. I just can't do it so I guess I will have to refer to him as something but not a name.
I agree, I don't like the Orange Thing at all.

Cheetos are more of an artificial, neon orange color that could never exist in nature.

(90,761 posts)He likes his portrait to be everywhere, and he gets off at rallies cheering him on, and he said "I alone" can fix things.
He wants to control the media and what they say about him and what photos they use of him.
He thinks he is above the law, because he thinks he is the first and last word on what is the law.
And other things, of course.
