    Alright, listen…

    Insults are meant to hurt the person you’re hurling them at. That’s the point of insults. “Lazy” is a pretty generic one, and it’s kind of a reach to say it’s racially-motivated. Yes, Trump is a Racist Wannabe-Nazi, but come on. Enough with the sensationalism.

      It’s only generic when you don’t know your history. Trump doesn’t exactly come across as a history scholar, though. He also doesn’t care either way.
