This is the most ludicrous version of the "see, this is why Trump won" thing. You think him demonstrating his limited, childish vocabulary is endearing and cuts "straight to the point?" The problem is, the fact that there's actually enough stupid fuckers in this country who want a president to call the terrorists "losers" is why Trump won.

Not because he's some great communicator, but because a lot of Americans suck at communication and like baby words and infantile tantrum politics. That's the appeal to the "gee politics are confusing! Why can't my president just tell me who the losers are?" demographic, and it's tragic that it worked.
