President Franklin Roosevelt said once: “Judge me by the enemies I have made.” It’s a quote I’ve often muttered reassuringly to myself after stepping, yet again, on the wrong foot.
Equally inspirationally, President Donald Trump once said: “Show me someone without an ego, and I’ll show you a loser.”
So, combining those two sentiments, I decided to compile the definitive list of people Trump has publicly declared a “loser” and use that as a proxy for his enemies. It turns out this was not an especially effective way to judge the man because, awkwardly, pretty much everyone is on that list.
And, on Memorial Day, he had this general catch-all:
I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day!
