    A friend of mine was telling me about it, said Fox News was going on about how they “don’t like the way he moves.” Whatever that means.

    “Twitchy Tim” is what Fox News decided on.

      Why do these people always have to have some stupidass nickname for someone that’s not based on anything related to their platform or policies?

        Because some of them mentally never left high school. So they pick 'insults" that were “funny” and made them “cool”, back when they peaked, and those appeal to the rest of the faux-news followers who did the same.

          Yeah it was a rhetorical question. I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to point out to them that the “other side” doesn’t use these kinds of nicknames?

            There’s many such nickname based on trumps fake tan. We can’t really claim superiority on the nickname thing. It IS funny though.

              Right online and in memes. Are those used by cable news networks and candidates at their rallies?

        Because they don’t want to talk about truth, the programs, policies etc.

        Also how the hell do you sell Trump otherwise? He can’t even align a coherent phrase to explicit anything.

        Because their god emperor TruMp likes those elementary school names and so they must follow

        I will admit I found “Tampon Tim” funny, but that was because of the irony in how it was meant to make fun of him but instead it helped spread the word about his history of progressive policies.
