The campaign of convicted felon Donald Trump understands it’s shameful that convicted felon Donald Trump is a convicted felon so they’ll try to cow reporters into *not* calling convicted felon Donald Trump a convicted felon, but convicted felon Donald Trump is, factually, a convicted felon.

In fairness, it IS absolutely shameful that the Republican party is backing a candidate that is a convicted felon. (And also an adjudicated rapist...) Maybe that's why she's confused.

It's best to speak precisely and refer to convicted felon Donald Trump with his full honorific. It's the least we can do as convicted felon Donald Trump worked so hard to become a convicted felon.
