When former President Donald Trump has a beef with someone, it's almost inevitable he will call that person a "loser" or a "stone cold loser."

Now, President Biden is turning one of his predecessor's favorite insults against him, using his first two campaign speeches of the year to pointedly label Trump a loser.

"Losers are taught to concede when they lose," Biden said on Monday, noting that Trump violated a basic principle of American democracy by refusing to concede the 2020 election. "And he's a loser."

I can't wait for all the people to gleefully call him a loser (including me) once he gets the shit smacked out of him in the New York case. Because the Trump Organization was found liable by the judge at the start. And since then, Trump has done everything he can to piss the judge off.

Holding that big fat mirror up so he can see his projection back in his loser face.

Give 'em hell, Joe

You have to speak to morons on their own level, or they don't understand.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Now, President Biden is turning one of his predecessor's favorite insults against him, using his first two campaign speeches of the year to pointedly label Trump a loser.

The South Carolina audience broke out into laughter and applause — just as a Pennsylvania crowd did a few days earlier after Biden discussed Trump's failed efforts to challenge the election results in court.

"He is a three-time loser," Christie said in a Fox News interview over the summer, referring to the 2020 election, and the midterms in 2018 and 2022 where Trump-backed candidates did poorly.

Calling Trump a loser "hurts his brand," said Mike DuHaime, a political consultant who has long advised Christie.

DuHaime conceded that Trump continues to maintain a winning brand despite a long line of losses both in politics and business.

But in a campaign where some voters may have forgotten the chaos that ensued when Trump tried to overturn the results of the election, using the word "loser" is another way to remind them.

The original article contains 528 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Actually what he should have said is, "Winners are taught to concede when they lose." Because that's how it works on sports teams and in real life; you don't throw a tantrum and act out violently when you lose, you concede graciously and try harder to do better next time.

And because he isn't capable of that kind of humanity, trump truly is a loser in all possible meanings of the word. Also, he's really just a bag of orangutan farts in a suit with bad hair. His picture should be next to the word "loser" in every dictionary.
