I've been called worse by better

I'm trying to work out which is worse:

  • Mr Rogers calling me a Disappointment, or
  • Donald Trump calling me a Shithead

I think you're right and that being given a lesser insult by a nicer person cuts deeper.

Is that even a close call? If Trump called me a shithead I'd wear that as a badge of honor. If Mr Rogers called me a disappointment I would question my life choices.

Dunno. I feel like only a shithead really knows what a shithead is, but I suppose only if they're aware they are one.
