I awoke to a lot of talk in the news about "lynching," including those (Rush L. among them) saying the word has nothing to do with black people and others who think Trump is being "literally lynched." I think you need a rope for that, don't you? A closer — but still not literal — example of "lynching" would be what D. Trump thought should be done to the five black and Latino teens accused of raping a woman in Central Park. You know…the ones who were completely exonerated but Trump still insists he was right. And still doesn't know what "exonerated" means.
But let's give him this: The guy's a master of inflammatory words and he does not employ them accidentally. He may not have the best words but he knows what to say to get the press to put it on Page One. If he'd said he was being "unfairly accused," it would wind up on Page 17 next to Your Daily Horoscope and a Kroger ad. "Lynching" does the trick of getting people talking about him and what he said. Which is the whole point of his life, after all; that and grabbing women by the pussy.
