Fresh off his triumphant misstep on economic issues, saying he'd take care of the national debt the way he deals with business creditors by trying to get them to accept deals at less than face value, then trying to talk his way out of that by claiming that the nation couldn't default because we can just "print money" (hello, Weimar inflation), here's an article in which Donald Trump gleefully explains how easy it is to brand his opponents by just appending a nasty word to their names.
