    A friend of mine was telling me about it, said Fox News was going on about how they “don’t like the way he moves.” Whatever that means.

    “Twitchy Tim” is what Fox News decided on.

      Why do these people always have to have some stupidass nickname for someone that’s not based on anything related to their platform or policies?

        Because some of them mentally never left high school. So they pick 'insults" that were “funny” and made them “cool”, back when they peaked, and those appeal to the rest of the faux-news followers who did the same.

          Yeah it was a rhetorical question. I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to point out to them that the “other side” doesn’t use these kinds of nicknames?

        Because they don’t want to talk about truth, the programs, policies etc.

        Also how the hell do you sell Trump otherwise? He can’t even align a coherent phrase to explicit anything.
