Donald Trump’s campaign for the Republican nomination continues to charge through the American political scene. The public, the media, and his opponents are taking him more seriously with every new poll announcing his growing lead. Parsing his policy positions is difficult, though. He can be vague and is unwilling to provide specifics on foreign policy, economics, or health care. However, he is very specific about the people he doesn’t like: losers, idiots, morons and dummies. Veiled references, oblique asides, vague innuendos: these are not Trump’s style. If he thinks you’re a loser, he will tell you, bluntly, loudly and publicly.

Here at Maclean’s, we hope to provide a public service by tracking this list, as an accurate reflection of the man, his mind, and his mission. We published an earlier roll call last month, but Trump is moving fast and we felt it required updating. If we’ve missed anyone, please advise us. It is our intention to make The Trump Loser Watch™ your definitive reference list for all your Trump needs.
