When Donald J Trump (R) learned of the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s death he said,“Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” Now, this begs the question of who Trump considers as “innocent,” which of course is clear and evident, he, himself.
But when we heard about what he said, one word came to mind, and it is Cad. No, not Cad Lackey the sidekick for Simon Bar Sinister on Underdog, but rather the Merriam Webster dictionary definition: a cad is a noun defined as a rude, unprincipled, or selfish man. It often describes a man who behaves with deliberate disregard for others’ feelings or rights, particularly dishonorable behavior toward women.
