      But he’s not just “some man”, and in context it wasn’t just “some insult”.

        As a non-murican it is just “some man”. As if anyone could take this clown serious. That clown you voted as your leader one might add. But the world really needs to know if he got called something somewhere for some reason. It’s not just incredibly entertaining and interesting, but also tremendously important.

        No, he’s someone who gets insulted all the time, using one of the more common insults available. That really makes it newsworthy! /s

          Context is important. The man sitting in the worlds most powerful position was compared directly to one of history’s biggest monsters at a time when he’s literally following Hitler’s playbook step by step.

          If someone yelled that at Bush in 2001, or Obama in 2015, hell or even Trump in 2016, yeah it wouldn’t really be news. But right now? Fucking right it’s important to keep this stuff in the news.

            And? Even non-muricans see what he does. So where is the importance that he get called something? Which, I’d bet, happens every minute in the USA and even everywhere else wherever one reads the clown’s name. Context is king, but not worth “news”.
