his ten most offensive
So much miserable, execrable, vile, despicable, contemptible, demented stuff has spewed from his mouth or his keyboard over the last ten years, it’s difficult to determine what has been the most abhorrent, the most shocking—assuming we could still be shocked. But with his latest profane rant about Iran, it seems appropriate to try to put them in some kind of order. So, here is our opinion of the ten most offensive statements he’s said or written.
It’s a sobering—and for all of us Americans, extraordinarily embarrassing—list.

“I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute.
