    She sure is lazy with all those rallies and interviews and events while he doggedly cancels almost everything claiming exhaustion.

    I mean….let’s do a music.

      He’s such a hard worker he took 15 minutes out of his packed schedule to lean out of a widow with a box of fries.

    Side Note: If you ever hear anyone using the word ‘itis’ you should know its origins. The Itis is that sudden sleepiness we sometimes feel. Think post turkey dinner food coma. The original, full word is “nig**ritis” and it was a highly racist term used to describe that sleepiness because black people are lazy. “Oh man, I ate some much and now I’ve caught the nig**ritis”. I knew a lot of black people that used the word, not knowing of its origins or true meaning.

    EDIT: Past tense.

      Just want to clarify for others like me who might initially have a negative reaction to this claim: this is referring specifically to a phrase like “I have the itis” (which personally I have never heard). The suffix -itis, of course, does not come from this and is much older.

      Trump said she recently became black, so now he will do the dignified thing and only use racism about her being black since she can’t be two things at the same time. /s

    Alright, listen…

    Insults are meant to hurt the person you’re hurling them at. That’s the point of insults. “Lazy” is a pretty generic one, and it’s kind of a reach to say it’s racially-motivated. Yes, Trump is a Racist Wannabe-Nazi, but come on. Enough with the sensationalism.

      It’s only generic when you don’t know your history. Trump doesn’t exactly come across as a history scholar, though. He also doesn’t care either way.
