Trump can't even insult the right person

Donald Drumpf has told Prime Minister Theresa May to focus on "terrorism" in the UK after she criticised his sharing of far-right videos. "Don't focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom," Mr Drumpf tweeted. The US president had earlier retweeted three inflammatory videos posted online by a British far-right group. Mrs May's spokesman said it was "wrong for the president to have done this".

The best bit about this farcical affair :

In hitting out at Mrs May, Mr Drumpf first tagged the wrong Twitter account, sending his statement to a different user with just six followers. He then deleted the tweet and posted it again, this time directing the message to the UK PM's official account.

  1. Oh ANOTHER deleted Tweet?! You do know that Federal law requires the retention of all Presidential documents, don't you? Yet another crime... it's getting difficult to track them all. Perhaps there's a strategy at work there?

  2. It's not so much we have a demented sadist in Presidency as that we have a political party that is using him for every party gain and goal they can wring out of this situation. That's the real betrayal, to me.

  4. Unless the GOP proceed with charges/impeachment, we have to wait for Department of Justice to build and prosecute it's case. Of course, the DoJ is headed by the United States Attorney General, who is nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate and is a member of the President's Cabinet.

  5. Also note that the Democrats have nothing to gain by pushing to impeach him - he's doing a good job of alienating floating voters and the leftmost group of Republican voters - plus the consequence of impeaching him is President Pence, who has the potential to be even worse.
