Trash talk 

Trump is a master of trash talk.

Donald Trump: ‘I’m not OK with Anderson Cooper, who treats me very unfairly’

This is nothing new. It is an old trick of his. It is effective. Similar to players baiting refs before hand, talking up their weaknesses to soften them up to avoid criticism.

He is a trickster and a scoundrel. Whether you want that for your President is up for question. No doubt he wouldn't mind trash talking on an international scene.

Roughing them up.

There is a reason for diplomacy. It puts a dampener on human tempers and cools the jets of anger.

Even our most temperamental Presidents have watched their tongues. Insult and invective are not very good negotiating tools and almost all of politics is a negotiation.

There is a hard core of yahoos and malcontents who enjoy this kind of talk. The practice of sticking one'e chin up. Upping to the other side.

It is a good way to get your chin clipped too.

Remember Ali was great on the trash but he was also fast on his feet and had the hard punch when the other guy leaned in. But that was boxing.

I like straight talk. McCain thought he was dealing his cards with it but he was a softy compared to this guy.

Trump is a bully which means he is also a coward. The idea of hitting first and as low as you can is the tactic of the guy who can't take it himself.

Yah yah yah. I can hear it in the school yard.

Trump doesn't have the stuff so he talks big.

Which makes him small.
