At the White House today, President Donald Trump came out strongly against impaling puppies on swords. In a speech in the Rose Garden, the president said, \u201cI condemn this barbaric practice in the strongest terms<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

But CNN\u2019s Smarty McSmartypants criticized Trump for not using the phrase \u201cthose icky bullies,\u201d saying this is clear evidence of his secret support. MSNBC\u2019s I.B. Sillee reported that because Trump failed to use any words that start with the letter \u201cq,\u201d the speech was a policy failure.\u00a0\"\" Rep Maxine Waters called a press conference to object to Trump\u2019s use of the word \u201cbarbaric,\u201d calling it \u201can obvious dog whistle to Islamophobes.\u201d<\/p>\n
