As we have seen whenever Donald Trump disagrees with someone or an issue, he has his own negative dictionary of words to describe it or them. It may be a "shame" or it may be "pathetic" but whatever it is, it will be negative in tone.
But when he is really angry or somebody has said something that deeply offends him or threatens him in some manner, he seems to resort to his favorite word, "disgrace".
His latest utilization was in his defense of Paul Manafort, just before he got on his plane to go to New Jersey. to go golfing.
It's "sad" for our country, he said. It's a "disgrace" what they are doing to Paul Manafort. He's a "very good person", he said, in hopes that a friendly juror may have been listening.
We should note that when the trump uses "disgrace", he feels personally threatened. Just as he does in this Manafort trial.
