Things We Saw Today: Michelle Wolf Has Some A++ Suggestions for Trolling Ivanka Trump & Co.

On the latest episode of The Break With Michelle Wolf, Wolf addresses the lack of “civility” in the insults being hurled at members of the Trump administration. Wolf has a problem with this insult-based approach, but it’s not a matter of civility. Rather, she takes issue with a lack of specificity. If you’re going to insult these people, she says, “You’ve got to hit their deepest insecurities with the hot venom of a teenager from a broken home.”

For example, “If you see Ivanka on the street, first call her ‘Tiffany.’ This will devastate her.”

“Then,” she says, “talk to her in terms she’ll understand. Say, ‘Ivanka, you’re like vaginal mesh. You were supposed to support women, but now you have blood all over you and you’re the center of a thousand lawsuits.’”

Wolf has similar advice on the etiquette of shaming other Trump mouthpieces, from Clarence Thomas “callbacks” to a super appropriate and also NSFW suggestion for a conversation with Betsy DeVos. (via Pajiba)
