Don't they have slander or defamation laws?

There are slander and defamation laws but the standards are much narrower for public figures. Which is overwhelmingly a good thing. Remember the case of Robert Maxwell, who deterred the press from making unfavorable reports about himself? British libel law enabled him to loot the pensions of workers.

What I mean is can someone just up and call someone a dog like that in the press without being had up for libel or whatever.

She's a public figure and would have a difficult time proving  that such harsh language which while ugly makes no specific and provably false allegations is libelous.

Maybe I read this wrong, but to me this sounds like miss Newman had an agenda, and got a job at the white house through blackmail.

Well it was certainly quite a shock when Trump employed her as an advisor at the White House but with Trump all common sense goes out of the window.  Maybe she was blackmailing him, there is plenty of ammunition with this moronic president, just ask the Russians!  But the way he talked her up when she was hired gave the impression that she was a trusted and very savvy lady.

 

As for the dog comment, well that is Trump showing us all once again at how "Presidential" he is.

So... trump.

 

supposedly as the “leader of the free world” is continually setting new baseline perceptions for the position of the worlds pre eminent statesman.

 

this is getting to look like a game of limbo to see how low the bar can really go.... how far the American peoples will let it go. (Mind you, imho, he is likely to put the limbo bar holders out of work, [oops... more unemployment] as it will be supported by the grass.... just right for a snakes height)

Surely Trump would see that she was an opportunist before employing her?  After all he knew her well from his reality show.  You mean he was too stupid to see it.  Yep that makes sense.  Amazing how all these people are cashing in on Trumps constant screw-ups.  Anyone would think he was thick ?

Hardly think he's stupid! He's got the attention of the entire planet! Always has for the most part. Besides the fact he's the POTUS!

Yes, if we're talking about children and internet trolls.  When you reach adulthood and become a professional businessman or politician, you're expected to handle yourself differently.

He certainly has the attention of the whole planet.  He is the laughing stock of everywhere.  The cartoonists and comedians of the world love him.  Can't wait to see what stupid thing he will do or say next!

Not only does he reserve his nastiest remarks to black people,  but make it a woman and he notches it up to another level. But white women are fair game to him as well......remember some of his vitriol aimed at the newscaster who was on the debates. Everything that is disgusting and nasty in people is combined into this one man. What happened to good manners, breeding, and respect for other people? When he is gone people will look back and remember this pathetic fart of a person as a stain on the history of the USA. Let us hope he goes soon back under his rock.

"...U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday called former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman a "dog"..."

 

Funny how he saves his most demeaning, vile, insults for black people. I wonder why that is.

 

Hmm...

Example: His obvious, much displayed and vocal basic total hatred for Barack Obama. Just awful.

Seems to me it's reinforcement that he thinks the presidency is his reality show, and he own and controls the script and the cameras.

"trump" doesn't get that his role is to be a servant of American people. To that sick puppy America now means him. He demands total worship and loyalty. If not, you're an enemy of the people. Folks -- this is a an authoritarian fascist. An unusually bizarre one but it still fits.

Sure, and to my thinking your saying:

 

- His role is to be a servant of the people /employed by the people.

 

- But he sees his role as the boss / the intimidator / the controller, in terms of his own opinions which are biased, racist, and unethical.

 

Nasty man.

it is or was very common to use the term "dog" when referring to a physically unattractive aka ugly gal and it never had racial implications.   it has also been used to describe betrayal and again not about race.

 

 

i forgot in this day and age everything is or can be racist.

If you can find other instances where Trump has referred to white people as dogs, then his use of the term against blacks loses its racial slant.  However, if he has no history of calling his white friends "dogs", then the term has racial implications when he uses it against a black person.

 

And it's not like we needed any more proof that Trump is a racist, anyway.
