Linguist Edwin Battistella collects over five hundred insults aimed at American presidents, covering the broad sweep of American history.
Recurring Themes in Political Insults
Along the way, Battistella illustrates the recurring themes of political insults: too little intellect or too much, inconsistency or obstinacy, worthlessness, weakness, dishonesty, sexual impropriety, appearance, and more.
