Look who’s mocking

Cammy Bechter Initially, I came up with the article topic, focusing only on Trump’s most recent insult, which was directed at former senator Al Franken, when he said that Franken folded like a wet rag when his sexual assault allegations transpired. Then, I had a realization, there is a ridiculous amount of people that our president has made fun of. I googled the words “List of people Trump has mocked”, and an entire website popped up entitled “The 487 People, Places and Things Donald Trump Has Insulted on Twitter: A Complete List”. As I had imagined, the most insulted items were Hillary Clinton, CNN, the idea that he committed collusion, and NBC News. Let’s take a quick glance into just a few examples because obviously I can’t write just one article on almost 500 separate verbal attacks. There’s the reporter with arthrogryposis, a congenital condition affecting the joints, Serge Kovaleski at a Trump rally during his presidential campaign. In a survey, that was the worst of the mockery. Even being a Trump supporter, isn’t 487 a large number of things to publicly insult, just because you think you can?
