    As was pointed out by other posters, that isn't what was stated.

    You are asking us all to forget how the English language works. He called her nasty, not her actions. Past tense, yes, but she she was the object, not her actions. Sophistry is pathetic.

    *being nasty.

    'Being' is inferred from the context of leading and following statements.

    Because there isn't any. You guys will do ANYTHING to bail out the Orange God. He called the Royal Princess nasty in the same way that he called Hillary a "nasty woman" during the Debates. Any woman not servicing his crooked mushroom at the time is "nasty". He's a fracking LOUT.

    He's committed lese majeste and is lucky the Queen didn't throw him in the Tower, but then we're no longer their ally in wartime so she can't be expected to do us any favors

    I only hope that he's put into Gen Pop when he's sent to Leavenworth and so gets the several knuckle sandwiches he so richly deserves

    Bull feces, you don't put "inferred" words in unless the statement won't make sense without them, and this one does. Totally discourteous sense amounting to a serious insult but that's makes MORE sense since the speaker is President Jerktard.

    I look forward to the next 18 months. By the time you guys are done making yourselves look like fools and utterly dishonest sycophants defending this ill-tempered idiot NOONE will EVER vote Republican again.

    The media is going through a phase called, "Orangeman bad" so they'll spin anything to sell news. Unfortunately, there are gullibles that believe these stories.

    The word "being" did not appear in the sentence. Try again. Hint: "nasty" is an adjective. Adjectives modify nouns and noun phrases. There were only two nouns in the sentence: I and she. This ain't rocket surgery folks.

    Obviously, you speak for yourself.

    Any thinking adult can understand words clearly said. You all remind me of a 5 yo trying to rationalize their lies.

    The context of adjectives is that they modify nouns.

    You are arguing with someone who doesn't care about the truth - a trumper

    It just so happens that "I never said that" is one of Trump's most common lies. This is the latest example, no different than when he said he would get the government to pay for universal healthcare or that American wages are too high and then backpeddled on exactly the same way.
