Name calling is a form of
verbal
abuse in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual
or group. This phenomenon is studied by a variety of academic disciplines such
as anthropology, child psychology, and politics. It is also studied by
rhetoricians,
and a variety of other disciplines that study
propaganda
techniques and their causes and effects. The technique is most frequently
employed within political discourse and school systems, in an attempt to
negatively impact their opponent.

April 3: Trump Mocks NBC's Chuck Todd ...
President escalates his war with the media.
When President
Donald Trump gets into political trouble, he often blasts the news media for
picking on him and distorting the facts. He did it again last weekend when he
mocked NBC commentator Chuck Todd and made fun of Todd's appearance.
"When will Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama
SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL and stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story," Trump wrote on
Twitter. About 20 minutes later, Trump added: "It is the same Fake News Media
that said there is 'no path to victory for Trump' that is now pushing the phony
Russia story. Total scam!"
What apparently provoked the president was Todd's appearance on the NBC Nightly
News Friday when he talked about the congressional and FBI investigations into
potential connections between Trump associates and Russia regarding ways to
intervene in the 2016 campaign and defeat Democratic nominee
Hillary Clinton.
Todd criticized Trump for making unproven claims that President Barack Obama
wiretapped Trump Tower in New York. Todd said this claim, which also is under
investigation, created "all of the current problems for this West Wing....This
has all been self-inflicted."

January
12: Rep. Waters Statement on Donald Trump’s Racist Slurs About
Immigrants
“Donald Trump is a racist and indecent man with no good values who is woefully
unfit and undeserving of the office in which he serves. That this president, a
deeply flawed human being with no understanding of public policy, would make
such ill-informed and deplorable comments about Haitians, Salvadorans, and
immigrants from African countries, merely underscores everything we already know
about him: he is a hopeless and ignorant bigot.

March 11: Chuck Todd Rips Steve Mnuchin Over
Trump’s “Son of a Bitch” Insult
Online, Todd seemed to take the slight in stride,
tweeting
Saturday night, “Don’t miss @MeetThePress tomorrow! I know folks may be tired in
the morning due to springing forward, so set those clocks and DVRs now before
your eyes get too sleepy.” But in person, his patience seemed to have frayed. “I
bring my kids up to respect the office of the presidency and the president,” he
said during an
appearance on NBC4 Saturday night. “I don’t allow them to say anything
negative, ever, about the president.”
Trump has been using the odd “sleepy eyes” insult since at least 2012, when he
tweeted,
“It's great that sleepy eyes @chucktodd gets no traction.” He has since called
him “sleepy” more than a dozen times ...
“Chuck, you know I’ve been with the president in campaigns,” Mnuchin said. “You
know he likes to put names on people. He did that through the entire
presidential election, including all the Republicans that he beat. So these are
campaign rally issues.” Todd was incredulous: “So you’re saying that’s
acceptable behavior for the rest of the administration too, or it’s just unique
to him?”
“Again, Chuck, this is something that is at a campaign rally,” Mnuchin
responded. “The president likes making funny names ... I think you should be
focused on the policies,” he continued. “He is using these vulgarities in the
context of a campaign rally. Obviously, there were a lot of funny moments at
that rally."
“Yeah,” Todd said, before ending the interview. “They were hilarious.”

March 11: Rep. Waters: Trump Criticism Not
Surprising
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., pushed back against Donald Trump’s attacks on her
intelligence, and renewed her call for Congress to impeach the president,
the Washington Times reports.
Don’t forget, this man who’s disparaging me has been called stupid, ignorant,
uninformed, unhinged and a moron by his own staff and appointees,” Waters told a
crowd at the J.W. Marriott during the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner in
Los Angeles. “And so he had the nerve to attack me.”

April 3: The definitive -- and updated! --
rankings of Donald Trump's nicknames for his political enemies
https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/03/politics/trump-nicknames-cheatin-obama/index.html
June 19: Twitter users reacted strongly to
President Donald Trump’s use of the word “infest” to describe illegal
immigration.
Responding to criticism of a policy that has led to more than 2,000 children
being separated from their parents at the border, Trump
tweeted that Democrats were to blame.
“They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they
may be, to pour into and infest our country, like MS-13,” he wrote, referencing
a violent criminal gang based in Central America.
Critics of Trump’s language argued that it was dehumanizing to use a term
traditionally used for pests.

March 26:
Mike Pence talked Dan Coats out of quitting the Trump administration
Whenever Trump is souring on Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, whom
he calls "Mister Rogers," Pence encourages him to stick with Coats.
Among the tensions the officials said have marred the relationship between the
president and
Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats: Trump pushed Coats to find
evidence that former President Barack Obama wiretapped him; he demanded Coats
publicly criticize the U.S. intelligence community as biased; and he accused
Coats of being behind leaks of classified information. More recently Trump also
fumed to aides after Coats publicly defended the importance of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization in countering
Russia's aggression, officials said.
But the tipping point for
Coats came in December with Trump's abrupt decision to withdraw all U.S.
troops from Syria, and the contentious departure of former Defense Secretary
James Mattis after protesting the policy, according to the current and former
officials. The vice president, who has repeatedly played the role of envoy
between Trump and Coats, convinced his longtime Indiana friend to stay until at
least this summer, the officials said.
