US President Donald Trump made news again after rapper Eminem threw some strong verbal blows at him. The latter released a storm of criticism against Trump in an aggressive freestyle rap at the Hip Hop awards.
His verse went on about Trump's extravagant lifestyle and incompetence as a leader. Slim shady also took a stance, defending the NFL players who protested the killing of African Americans by police officers.
The piece which he called "The Storm" is where he delivered a nearly-five minute freestyle rap during the awards show, dedicated solely to his distaste for the president, that caused supporters on both sides to react on social media.
To many, this seems to be coming back to the President, in what is commonly known as "karma", because of his history of taking to his Twitter handle to put down various celebrities and known personalities.
But so far his most favourite person to ridicule has been his opponent, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, as he has referred to her as "crooked" a good number of times.
According to The New York Times, Trump has insulted 380 people, things, and locations since his campaign kicked off in June 2015.
Here are a handful of the people Trump chose to insult on a public forum.

Trump and Samuel L Jackson
I don’t know @SamuelLJackson, to best of my knowledge haven't played golf w/him & think he does too many TV commercials—boring. Not a fan.

.@Neilyoung A few months ago Neil Young came to my office looking for $$ on an audio deal & called me last week to go to his concert. Wow!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2015
.@Neilyoung’s song, “Rockin’ In The Free World” was just one of 10 songs used as background music. Didn’t love it anyway.

Donald Trump's presidential campaign got off to a rocky start last June when, after playing Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" after the rally announcing his presidential bid, the rocker immediately asked the mogul to stop using the Freedom track on the campaign trail. The issue sparked a public argument between Young and Trump, as Young stated that Trump was "not authorized" to use the track, while a spokesperson for the GOP candidate insisted they had acquired the necessary publishing rights.
