Enough Whining About Trump's Mean Tweets
2020-07-23
Kurt's bare knuckles time
You should be eternally grateful that the worst thing you can really say about Donald Trump is that he’s mean to knuckleheads on social media — and that literally is the worst thing you can say about Donald Trump without stepping into the territory of my new book, The 21 Biggest Lies About Donald Trump (and You!). Yeah, sometimes he tweets mean things, but always about terrible people. Get over it.

You should be glad he’s not, you know, destroying your healthcare, invading Iraq, or defiling the Oval Office like the last three nice guy tweeters did. So he’s poking Joe Scarborough, whose only fan is Nickelback because his music (Trigger Warning — NSFE: Not Safe For Ears) keeps them from being rock’s saddest punchline?

...Leaving aside that Trump is not a bully who starts these fights — that’s Lie No. 16 in my new book — the fact is that we didn’t elect Donald Trump to be President Feelgood Happy Time. We elected him to take a sledgehammer to the garbage establishment whose corruption, incompetence, and greed impoverished, insulted, and sometimes even killed normal Americans, regardless of which half of what the great Michael Walsh labeled the Bipartisan Fusion Party sat in the White House. And when you elect a sledgehammerer — and Trump is the John Henry of American politics — don’t come to me shaking your head muttering, "Goodness gracious, I expected him to be more subtle."

#3  Maybe Kurt could convince George Will to stop his attack of vapors caused by Trump's "low brow plebeian Tweets"...?

#2  Mean Tweets? Seems kind of trivial compared to the violence, looting, burning, beatings and sometimes murder in the occupied zones of blue cities.

#1  Mean to the same media that vilified a life-saving drug so that it was taken out of use across the nation when it could have been saving lives.

He was not mean enough.
