The lack of ire from the president is striking, given his penchant for hurling insults at his opponents and detractors. According to the New York Times, Trump is on track to insult in tweets at least 650 people, places, and things by the end of his term. Below is a brief, but by no means comprehensive, list of people that Trump has denounced:
A Gold Star family
Trump took aim at Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of a U.S. soldier killed in Iraq in 2004, after their 2016 appearance at the Democratic National Convention. Khizr Khan spoke out against Trump in a passionate speech, asking the then-presidential candidate, “Have you even read the United States constitution?”
The Pope
During the 2016 campaign, Pope Francis criticized Trump’s campaign promise to build a wall on the Mexican border to keep out undocumented immigrants, saying that erecting such barriers “is not Christian.” Trump reacted by calling the Holy See’s comments “disgraceful.”
“For a religious leader to question a person’s faith is disgraceful. I’m proud to be a Christian and as president, I will not allow Christianity to be consistently attacked and weakened, unlike what is happening now with our current president,” he said. “No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion and faith.”
Meryl Streep
Trump called the 68-year-old actress “overrated” after she lambasted him in a speech at the Golden Globes earlier this year.
“She is a Hillary [Clinton] flunky who lost big,” he said.
