In 2017 Hillary Clinton accused Trump of being thinskinned. His reponse was "I don't have thin skin — I have very strong, very thick skin.”
Donald Trump is disputing Hillary Clinton's critique of his foreign policy, including her epidermal argument that the New York businessman is too thin-skinned to be commander-in-chief.
"I don't have thin skin — I have very strong, very thick skin," Trump told CNN's State of the Union in an interview broadcast Sunday.
Trump was responding to a speech last week in which Clinton said that the presumptive nominee is too volatile and lacks the temperament to manage the nation's military and foreign affairs.
"This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes," Clinton said, "because it's not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin."
If someone who responds to the slightest attack with a rage tweet in the middle of the night isn’t thin skinned I don’t know how else to characterize him.
I found a GIF of Trump called Trumpelthinskin showing him having a tantrum with tears flowing from his eyes.
Then in trying to learn more about this GIF I discovered an old website named Trumpelthinskin which I hadn’t seen before. .This website was created to attack Trump. It has not been updated since October 3, 2018.
As for the GIF, Slansky’s website explains that it was “created by the famous guerrilla street artist ROBBIE CONAL, whose savage portraits of the worst of the nation’s politicians have been assaulting the eyes of unsuspecting Americans since 1986.”
From the website:
Our mission is to be the ultimate repository of damaging information about – and scathing satire of – the most absurd, the most odious, the most psychopathic man ever to seek the Presidency. We are compiling the definitive record of exactly how Donald Trump – one of the very worst people in the nation’s history, a tantrum-throwing seven-year-old in the bloated body of a seventy-year-old – rose to this exalted level of potential power.
I found it illuminating and prescient to read the “about us section” here. Consider the following, not in light of what Trump in his first term did, but rather looking at his second term so far. Trump 45 seems mild compared to the Trump of today. You can read the dire predictions on this old website in view of what he already has done in his second term. Here’s their comparison of Trump to Rumpelstiltskin.
Once upon a time there was a fairy tale character named Rumpelstiltskin. He was a short-tempered dealmaker who, when one of his deals went bad, went into such a rage that he stamped his right foot so deep into the ground that his whole leg went in. Then, in a furious effort to free himself, he tugged at his left leg so hard that he tore his body apart and destroyed himself.
The real life dealmaker we call Trumpelthinskin has a similarly short fuse, but, as President of the United States, his fits and frenzies would have the potential to destroy us all.
Trump didn’t destroy our democracy in his first term. Now the horrors we thought he’d unleash upon democracy in his first term seem mild compared to what is happening today.
