The judge’s ruling in Donald J. Trump’s civil fraud case could cost him all his available cash. It also bars the former president from running a business in the state for three years.
It irks me that while Trump is usually called by his last name, like all men, when people talk about women they casually use their first names like Hillary or, in this case, E Jean. It’s such a casual and mindless form of disrespect that few seem to notice.
Is that broadly true? Hillary is Hillary because “Clinton” would obviously refer to Bill, since he was President. She also embraced the first name reference in her campaign materials. What about other famous women? Margaret Thatcher is Thatcher, J.K. Rowling as Rowling, Angela Merkel is Merkel. On the other side Bernie Saunders is Bernie. Perhaps calling someone by their first name is a sign of affection, not disrespect?

I think in Hillary’s case it could be that Clinton was already taken by her husband.
