RedState, the New York Post and the Washington Examiner report that President Trump said he could go six months without insulting Democrats if it took that to get a deal done. The remark came in a preview of his 60 Minutes interview with Ross Douthat, which airs Sunday. Asked the question, the outlets say, Trump answered “Very easily,” then said he calls many Democrats “Dumocrats” because their policies are bad. Douthat raised Texas Democrat James Talarico, who has said he is willing to work with the administration on immigration, and a nickname Trump used for him during the campaign. The Post and the Examiner report that Talarico defeated Trump-backed Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race.

In the outlets’ own words
Loaded verb
lobbed another jabMore neutral: made another remark

…if that’s what it took to strike deals with the new Congress — even as he lobbed another jab at them during the same interview.

Loaded modifier
funny way of making that caseMore neutral: that his remark is at odds with a nickname he also used for Democrats
The description adds a sarcastic judgement on Trump’s credibility that the reported remark itself does not state.
He just has a funny way of making that case.
Used byRedState (Far Right)
Loaded verb
happily admittedMore neutral: confirmed
The verb ‘happily’ attributes an emotional attitude to Trump that the report does not establish.
…did occasionally call him TalaFreako," Douthat observed, something the president happily admitted.
