What's in a title?

How unfortunate the Trib Editorial Board stooped to mimicking one of Trump's most egregious personal insults to highlight its editorial about the announced Trump, Kim Jong-Un nuclear summit in May. 'Trump, Little Rocket Man and a chance at history' could just as easily been titled, 'Kim Jong-Un, Degenerate Orange Man and a chance at history'. But two wrongs don't make a right...and in spite of his utter unfitness as president, Trump should be given respect in print, particularly in a prestigious editorial page. Did you folks think it was cool to riff on Trump's endless personal insults such as 'Lyin' Ted', 'Low energy Jeb' and some unfit to print which he exploited to garner 63,000,000 votes from people who viewed his very unfitness for office as a reason to elect him? 

One more thing. 'Surreal' is not the one word to best describe the Trump presidency. Much more appropriate words come to mind: embarrassing, terrifying, shameful, insane, heartless, debauched.
