trump attacks Kellyanne Conway's husband with racist slur
Victoria Brownworth@VABVOX·4h
"Moonface" is a common ethnic slur for Asians, which Trump has now added to his racist repertoire with this tweet. Also, Kellyanne Conway is his most trusted and loyal advisor and has four half-Asian kids. Trump values no one and nothing.

....because they don’t know how to win, and their so-called Lincoln Project is a disgrace to Honest Abe. I don’t know what Kellyanne did to her deranged loser of a husband, Moonface, but it must have been really bad. John Weaver lost big for Kasich (to me). Crazed Rick Wilson....

OK, let's see how [lying] Kellyanne will spin this statement. Guess he was being comedic.

moonface
Moonface usually occurs when an individual has been smoking weed. Moonface often leads to mad hysterics, causing everyone on the bus to look at you. Characteristics of moonface are prominent cheeks, small slanted eyes, a massive stupid grin, and faceache.
"My moonface was so bad I could see my cheeks."

1. Hmm. Have to admit I've never heard of that one.
I had no idea Conway was Asian either. I thought it was a remark about his complexion or a weight joke.

2. Tried searching for prior uses
Google has done a good job of keeping it under wraps in searches for prior usages of it.
It is most commonly used as a medical symptom:

8. Yeah, even in UrbanDictionary, it comes up as the forth entry, where there is even an Asian mention.

10. You're probably not old enough (lucky!) to have heard all the many racial slurs of the early 20th C
Trump no doubt heard slurs like this from his racist father who came out of the time when the Klan had enormous power even in the North.
Now that he is descending into dementia, we'll probably be hearing more terms like this from him. My senile uncle -- who had never been openly racist-- started using the most terrible terms when he was losing control of his mind. It was awful because most of the kind people at the nursing home had to put up with him calling them names.
Trump's never had much in the way of inhibitions-- Noel Casler, who was a staffer on the Apprentice shows, said Trump often used racial slurs and that's why the outtake tapes are kept under wraps.
But he's obviously unable to contain himself even when-- as here-- he's insulting one of his most (gag) loyal aides (KAC). That's going to harm him, but he can't stop.

13. I imagine his old racist father taught him that one.
Never heard of it before.

Inventing new definitions of innocuous words to make them suddenly racist. Brilliant!
-
Moonface? Never heard of that as an Asian slur. Now, slope, chink, nip, gook, slant eye, and zipper head I know of off the top of my head.

they are just spring loaded to the offended position and looking for any little thing to piss and moan about.
