I think it was the king of Spain. He had a lisp. So, after a spell, it became fashionable for all of his subjects to emulate this lisp ... which, I understand, they still do to this day for certain Spanish words. Such are the quirksof fashion and its strange consequences (powdered wigs and cod pieces?)
I think we see this phenomenon today in the United States. President Trump likes to belittle and give nicknames to his foes. So, what the result? The discourse, particularly among out media, has sunk to a new low. And yet these media bozos don't seem to realize the source of their vitriol. With their rudeness and insults, they are flattering by imitation the very man they seem to detest.

Trump: Making America sink to new lows. MASTNL.
We should then expect upticks in:
- Well-done steaks with catsup
- Oversized suits
- Long neckties
- Tweeting everyone in the middle of the night
- Abstinience from tobacco and alcohol
- Consumption of Diet Coke
If you repeatedly poke a caged animal, can you be surprised when it bares its teeth at your very approach? So too with naming people and organizations "low IQ", "weak", "fake", "small", "sad", "wacky", "slippery", "low energy", "lyin'", "crazy", "cheatin'", "cryin'", "dopey", "psycho"... He even managed to pi$$ off the Pope, more than once!
All clearly deplorables ...
There you go again! Vague as DJT. I didn't apply these attributes to anyone in particular. Regardless of who a label is assigned to by DJT, that person/organization/country is declared to merit the "deplorable" categorization to everyone in his base... of deplorables. No debate. No recourse.
Thith ith a thtupid potht.
