September 9, 2019: Trump's Intellectual Dung Heap

 

9/9/19: Trump starts Day 962 of his presidency the same way Day 961 ended. He’s up and tweet-hating by 5:21 a.m. 

By 5:58, he’s warmed up and floats his first insult, mocking Mark Sanford, one of three Republicans who have announced plans to challenge him in the primaries next year. The former governor of South Carolina is famous for running off to Argentina to be with his mistress. You figure Trump won’t bring that up, because…well…Stormy. And the Playboy Bunny. And the housemaid he knocked up. 

This is Trump.

 

So, bring it up he does: 

When the former Governor of the Great State of South Carolina, @MarkSanford, was reported missing, only to then say he was away hiking on the Appalachian Trail, then was found in Argentina with his Flaming Dancer friend, it sounded like his political career was over. It was,.... 

 


A section of the Appalachian Trail.


Okay, one clueless tweet – one person insulted. But there’s more undignified work to be done: 

...but then he ran for Congress and won, only to lose his re-elect after I Tweeted my endorsement, on Election Day, for his opponent. But now take heart, he is back, and running for President of the United States. The Three Stooges [the three Republicans who plan to run in the primaries], all badly failed candidates, will give it a go!

 

There you are. A pair of insulting tweets before most people are up and eating scrambled eggs and toast.

 

This is who Trump is. He’s loutish and loud, petty, and rude. He has recently picked a Twitter fight with the actress Deborah Messing. He picked another with the singer John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, his “nasty mouthed wife.” Now he’s calling Republican opponents “The Three Stooges.” 

Historians are going to have a field day in fifty years digging into the intellectual dung heap this president leaves behind.
