Yea so... making fun of someone's name is sophomoric. I'm sure some Trump folks love it but actual adults really don't give a shit. I was even kind of annoyed years back when people were attacking Trump because of the Drumpf surname - as if half of America didn't have their name butchered by Ellis Island.
The asshole doesn't have any actual criticisms that will stick so he's resorting to school yard bullying.
Not just sophomoric, as the article points out. Plain old bigoted.
It’s a lot simpler than that for psychopaths like Trump: it’s a simple cut that’s dehumanizing. It’s an easy way to say, “You mean nothing to me, and I know this hurts you, so I will keep on hurting you as much as possible whenever I can because I can, and that gratifies me.”
It’s one of the most effective trolling behaviors there is, because, no matter how big a person you are, it will always cut a little. And it is also one of the most obvious signs that someone is a psychopath. Because they hurt someone just because they can.
You see it all the time from trolls on the Internet.
I have a very common American name, but with a very European spelling. I’m 41 fucking years old. It gets under my skin at least a little bit when I see it misspelled, regardless of how understandable it is…
Is it something with like an "ou" instead of just "o"?
His name is Michael but it’s spelled Mouchel
I once met an American whose name was pronounced "Keevan". His written name was Kevin...
American Football player Brett Favre pronounces his last name "farv" and I wish I knew why.
From my experience most of Trump’s camp act like middle schoolers, so you’d be right
Yeah, also, I know Germany is like the one "okay" group to rag on in the US because of historical reasons, but like, what's wrong with having a German last name?
It's not like you get to choose your ancestry.
You do, however, get to choose whether you try to be a dictator.
