New Times has been spewing despicable, negative, disrespectful, profane, and even life-threatening dialogue when referring to President Trump. Purportedly, this is done in the name of journalistic license. Perhaps all of these depictions are true. That is not the point. Equitable journalism would have described our previous president as a sneering, flap-eared, baboon by merely using the same language as your infamous Shredder who recently portrayed President Trump as a “bloated gasbag” and an “orange dick-tator.”
Humble apologies to any astute among the readership for my brief foray into journalistic gutter-speak—New Times style. Touché.

Mr Salemi, did you seriously just call the first African-American president in history –the one Trump lied about in his racist birther claims after he knew it was a lie– a “flap-eared baboon?” I don’t know if anyone has informed you, but common decency prohibits the enthusiastic support of racist belief systems in the public sphere.
August, There is so much wrong with your commentary I don’t even know where to start. How about with the title. No, nevermind, why bother? You seem oblivious.
Funny how the truth hurts but then again the left has no clue.
