INSULT HAIKUS

-

In February, the liberal website Talking Points Memo discovered a formula in Trump’s Twitter takedowns of opponents: three-sentence insult haikus. The site describes it thusly, “single clause declarativ­e sentence, single clause declarativ­e sentence, primary adjective/term of derision.” For instance, “Ted Cruz should be disqualifi­ed from his fraudulent win in Iowa. Weak RNC and Republican leadership probably won’t let this happen! Sad.”
