Trump: "At some point I fight back."

Responding to remarks made by John McCain, Trump says “At some point I fight back.”

Uh huh. Trump is like the domestic abuser who tries to get his wife arrested for getting blood on his fist.

Five years in the Hanoi Hilton and brain cancer are nothing compared to the Wrath of The Orange Menace!

Meanwhile, the bulldogs of our Fourth Estate focus on the spectacle of a 71-year-old man who can't put a sentence together to express his deepest convictions, but who is nevertheless president of the country.

I KNOW all McCain did in the past, but if he's got no fucks left and is as appalled by the dishonoring of the country and all its government is supposed to stand for (differences in opinion on that notwithstanding) I'd like to see everyone who despises that orange asshole for what he's done to us stand firmly behind him.

Bring it on, Donny. That can of whoop-ass might surprise you.

"I've faced worse."

Trump just doesn't get that other people have risen above hardship, adversity, torture, etc, and that his threats are pathetic.

and it isn't "at some point"-- you have a visceral, knee-jerk reaction whenever anyone says anything less than adoringly complimentary about you.

hair furor picks a fight. His target defends him or herself.

And that's when he "fights back?!"

It's truly amazing that there is anyone left defending that cranky toddler.

I know he mocked Mika Brzenski (I know I spelled it wrong; I don't care. You know who I'm talking about) about plastic surgery--and I'm told she continues to recover at home from his devastating blows --but with all those people he says are mistreating him, who else has he hit back at, that old counter-puncher, him?

Like all bullies, he's not going to go after anyone he feels could best him, so that limits his pool of potential targets.

are almost exclusively against women. Rarely does he follow up a threat against a man with an actual attack.

On every level and to every person, he's a nasty piece of shit. I can't imagine the position that would actually make me take a job that involved him...Maybe prosecutor but I'm not even a lawyer so I guess that's out.
