Bitch. He meant bitch. Possibly c**t. Perhaps witch.
Toward the end of Wednesdays third ― and blessedly final ― presidential debate, Donald Trump interrupted Hillary Clintons comments about social security to call her a nasty woman.
It was a tacky, hostile and personal insult, but for Trump, it was actually a euphemism of sorts. Women around the world instantly knew what he was really saying.

The real reason Donald called Hillary a #NastyWoman was that he couldn't call her a nasty bitch on national TV. #NastyWomenVote https://twitter.com/feministabulous/status/789102285326577665

After all, Trump that Bitch is one of his supporters most popular slogans. Calling Clinton a bitch has been a standard practice for Hillary haters for months.
Of course, Clintons been a bitch for years ― as writer Andi Zeisler pointed out in The New York Times last month ― for changing her last name, for saying shed rather work than bake cookies, for daring to reform the health care system, for existing.
Lets be clear why the word is so despicable: Bitch is a gendered slur, meant to shame and silence women who dare speak up for themselves. Trump knows all about it, having publicly called former national security adviser Condoleezza Rice a bitch in a speech in 2006.
