Thanks. I get them mixed up.
Both seem like good men. People you want on your side.

Hmmm. That’s what I used to accuse the left of saying about Bill Clinton. Not sure it’s a good thing.

President Trump is currently my favorite asshole ever. #MAGA and IDGAF.

probably spot on.

Trump is an a$$hole? Not spot on. I would have preferred Trump described as Patton described Rommel, at least in the movie.

"Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I read your book!"

He’s a New Yorker. He’s an asshole. I’d bet money that he would embrace the term with a smile. It’s a NYC thing.

As someone who was born and raised in the NYC metro area, being called an a$$hole is not a compliment or a term of endearment. Those are fighting words.

Urban dictionary definition: The worst kind of person. You cannot fully construct a meaning that fully encompasses what this vicious insult means. If you're an a**hole, you are disgusting, loathesome, vile, distasteful, wrathful, belligerent, agoraphobic, and more. A**holes are human fecal matter. They are the lowest of the low. They transcend all forms of immorality. It is the very worst of insults; to be called an a**hole is to have your very soul ripped apart and shat on. I say that the word "a**hole" is the worst cussword of the english language, worst than f**k, sh*t, and c**t. combined.

I think he’s being a fantastic asshole.
Maybe “son of a bitch” would work better, but the gist is that he is not a limp-wristed pussy like Obama, so I’m good with President Trump being an presidential asshole. We need more people like this leadership positions in government.

A**hole is the wrong noun. No adjective is going to change its meaning. I indicated in an earlier post that Patton's description of Rommel as a "magnificent bastard" was more in keeping with what I assume Hunter intended.

As a fellow NYer, I would be pissed if I were Trump. Hunter owes Trump an apology and a clarification about what he meant.

“Hunter, R-Alpine, told the group. “He’s an a—h-—, but he’s our a—h-—.””

Hunter, youasshole! You don’t decide for me who’s an asshole and who’s not.

I like it. I'm pretty sure the word @sshole was originally intended for politicians.
They're all @ssholes.

I assume you were a Fred Head back in the day. The guy who endorsed scrapping the electoral college.
