The obligatory Trump-rips-Gillibrand-via-Twitter post

Ah yes, at the center of a lot of the buffoonery in Washington, D.C. is usually a Trump tweet.

Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

Now when I initially read that, I just rolled my eyes at what I viewed as the usual juvenile insults thrown out by our Commander in Chief. Ah, but Fauxcahontas Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) saw it differently.

Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you're picking a fight with? Good luck with that, @realDonaldTrump. Nevertheless, #shepersisted. https://t.co/mYJtBZfxiu

Uhhh...."slut shame?" It appears that Sen. Warren has no idea of the context of that phrase. Quite simply, "slut shaming" someone is to criticize one for exhibiting slutty behavior. So is Warren insinuating here that her Senate colleague is in fact a slut??? When this inquiry was posed by several people in response to Sen. Warren's tweet, the retort was something along the lines of "Well then what, pray tell, did Trump mean when he said Sen. Gillibrand 'would do anything' for campaign contributions?" I have no earthly idea. But it's rather telling that it was mostly "progressives" who gleaned that Trump was referring to sexual favors.

The fact of the matter is if you read Trump's tweets regularly, he has a few patterns. Random capitalization of words. Ending many posts with the word "Sad!" Even the occasional grammatical errors.

Oh, but you know what else has been a part of multiple Trump tweets? Saying someone "will do anything" to/for _____.

Like Press Secretary Sarah Sanders indicated on Tuesday, to construe that as something sexual likely means your mind "is in the gutter."
