Stifle was what Archie Bunker said when he wanted someone to shut up. It was usually directed at his garrulous wife, Edith: Stifle, dingbat. It was occasionally aimed at his liberal son-in-law: Stifle, meathead. Donald Trump is a dingbat *and* a meathead. Stifle, Donald.

Rob Reiner was a good man. Donald Trump is an asshole.
