The gentleman in the White House has run into self-inflicted flak over his indelicate use of the word "horseface" in describing the adult film actress he may or may not have dangled with. However, she came storming back with a tweet of her own, referring to him as "Tiny", which one suspects was not a compliment. These exchanges could become quite entertaining.
Mr Trump is not the first politician to take the heat for the use of that specific word, although the case that springs to mind was in quite different circumstances.
It involved the late British MP Geoffrey Dickens. He was attending a summer fete and was pursued by a rather ugly woman who wouldn't leave him alone. Eventually he told her that if she sent him a letter he would reply with a signed photograph. A few weeks later a letter arrived on his desk written by the woman requesting an autograph. Below her signature in brackets was the word "Horseface".
