Image I am beginning to worry that when I die, the highlight of my obituary will be that I was once called “a dog” by Donald Trump. Hey, it was long ago, but it still comes up. Particularly now that we’re making lists of all the women our president has ever compared to a canine. Back when I worked for New York Newsday, he sent me a copy of a column I’d written, scrawled with objections, along with an announcement that I was “a dog and a liar” and that my picture was “the face of a pig.” At the time, he was only a flailing real estate developer trying to make a deal with the city, yet it still seemed so weird that at first I wondered if it might be a joke, or some enemy of Trump’s trying to embarrass him. But no, it was a missive from the man himself. Have you heard that Stormy Daniels is going to be on the British version of “Celebrity Big Brother”? …”) One thing that’s for sure is that the tweets tell us a lot about the president’s own miserable insecurities. And about him calling people a “dog.” This all goes back to the fact that Trump hates animals. Just as when he calls someone “dumb,” he’s trying to get past the fact that he’s not all that bright. And whenever I tell the “dog” story, I always enjoy pointing out that Trump misspelled the word “too.”
