Donald Trump knows a lot of words, and he’s got a new one in particular to describe Secretary of State John Kerry: “loser.”
Speaking at a campaign event in Birmingham, Ala., on Saturday, the businessman-turned-Republican-candidate was in the midst of criticizing the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran. If elected president, Trump said he would demand a “much better” deal.
“We’re going to renegotiate that sucker big league,” he said, while also saying that he would see to it that U.S. prisoners in Iran would be released before he even takes office.
Then Trump directed his ire at Kerry, who led the negotiations with Tehran, labeling him as “weak, ineffective, begging to make a deal and we had all the cards.”
At this point a man in the audience yelled, “He’s a loser.”
“He is a loser,” Trump replied.
“That’s such a descriptive term, some of the press said I use it too much, but there’s just no better word,” he continued. “I went to an Ivy League College — I know a lot of words, but somehow loser is so nice. It’s just a good word.”
“No no, only in describing certain people — [of] course that’s a lot of people — that’s a lot of people,” Trump said.
Most recently, Trump called fellow GOP candidate Ben Carson a “complete and total loser” during a TV spot for his Nov. 7 appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” which NBC correspondent Pete Alexander later said was accidentally posted by NBC.
Trump, who comes in fourth place in the Washington Examiner’s most recent power rankings, graduated from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania in 1968.
