Mr. trump is on a very important trip abroad to solidify alliances with key allies and to help chart a course for America’s future in Europe. But instead of doing what Americans would expect any normal president to do in such a situation, our freak show of a president chooses to engage in a “nasty” and pointless feud with a “washed” up actress.
“Bette Midler is keeping things light in response to President Donald Trump’s latest comments about her.
The president on Tuesday dubbed Midler, 73, a “washed up psycho” and a “sick scammer” after she apologized for sharing a fake quote attributed to Trump in the late 1990s.
Midler, a frequent and outspoken critic of President Trump, thanked those who defended her during her “personal Battle of the Bulge (with) he who must not be named” in a tweet Wednesday morning.
Amid his three-day state visit to the U.K. this week, Trump responded: “Washed up psycho @BetteMidler was forced to apologize for a statement she attributed to me that turned out to be totally fabricated by her in order to make ‘your great president’ look really bad. She got caught, just like the Fake News Media gets caught. A sick scammer!”‘
I remember a time in this country when presidents did not punch down, and when they treated the office that they hold with a certain amount of dignity and respect that is befitting of the honor that the American people bestowed on them. (I guess seeing all the protesters in London pissed him off. )
So far Mr. trump has had nastier things to say about people like Midler and Rosie O ‘Donnell than he has to Vladimir Putin, Kim, and Duterte. Heck he is nastier to American war heroes and former Vice Presidents than he is to those despots and murderers.
But this is where we are now with this guy.
And speaking of war heroes. Or, in Mr. trump’s case, war cowards.
This is what he told his British yes man, Piers Morgan:
“I was never a fan of that war. I thought it was a terrible war, it was very far away…Nobody had heard of Vietnam…this wasn’t like fighting against Nazi Germany or Hitler…I wasn’t out on the streets marching or saying I would move to Canada…I would have been honored [to serve in the military generally] but I think I’m making up for it rapidly because we’re rebuilding our military at a level you’ve never seen before.”[Source]
No Mr. trump, you can never make up for being a coward, and being afraid to serve your country when other kids were giving their lives to protect our freedom. No wonder you hate John McCain so much, he is everything that you are not.
