Trump ‘Reprimands’ Crowd For Cracks About ‘Muslim’ Obama and ‘Bathroom’ Hillary

Presidential candidate and Republican frontrunner Donald Trump put on something of a clinic on a rather new skillset Tuesday night, raising passive aggression to towering heights. With a little assist from the crowd, Trump brought back two of his greatest hits. First, he referenced the September brouhaha over his failure to correct a supporter who asserted President Obama is a Muslim by jokingly scolding an audience member who shouted a similar remark Tuesday night in Claremont, New Hampshire.

The bit killed with the crowd, who then teed up Trump’s more recent attack on Hillary Clinton‘s “disgusting” urination habit, and Trump hit it over the (beautiful, Mexico-funded) wall:

Trump: Where is she (Hillary)? I didn’t hear that?

Audience Member: The bathroom!

Trump: That’s terrible. Terrible! You should never say that! That’s terrible! They said she’s in the bathroom. That’s a terrible thing. I’m admonishing you for the press. You are admonished. We should throw him the hell out of here. Get out of here! No, I’m only…

The crowd ate it up, of course, ensuring that this sort of Rocky Horror Picture Show call-and-response will become as regular a feature at Trump rallies as his cameraman-bashing schtick.
