Trump&#8217;s tweet was both hostile and dishonest. In other words, business as usual for our loathsome, Pathological-Liar-in-Chief. The offensive tweet ignored every moral principle that a conscientious leader would ordinarily have. It said:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just watched Wacky Tom Steyer, who I have not seen in action before, be interviewed by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jaketapper?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@jaketapper<\/a>. He comes off as a crazed &amp; stumbling lunatic who should be running out of money pretty soon. As bad as their field is, if he is running for President, the Dems will eat him alive!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1056592374607024130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 28, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s break that down. First of all. Trump is <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realdonaldtrump\/status\/780626558176333824\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">admitting that he lied<\/a><\/strong> when he said that he doesn&#8217;t watch CNN. He often quotes from segments on CNN and criticizes their coverage of him. But in this tweet he plainly admitted that he watched the whole interview. Trump also lied about not having seen Steyer before. Almost a year ago to the day, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realdonaldtrump\/status\/923866515358789633\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump tweeted<\/a><\/strong> about the <em>&#8220;Wacky &#038; totally unhinged Tom Steyer, who has been fighting me.&#8221;<\/em> Indeed, Steyer is the founder of <em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.needtoimpeach.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Need To Impeach<\/a><\/strong>,<\/em> which has already accumulated more than 6.1 million signatures of Americans seeking to remove Trump from office due to his well documented treasonous behavior and repeated violations of law.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s infantile compulsion to insult people was evident again with an absurd characterization of Steyer as <em>&#8220;wacky,&#8221;<\/em> <em>&#8220;crazed,&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;lunatic.&#8221;<\/em> Whatever you think of Steyer&#8217;s opinions, his demeanor is always composed and dignified. Trump is just projecting a description of himself onto someone for whom it is plainly unfitting. What&#8217;s more, Trump is revealing his jealousy of Steyer, who is a true self-made billionaire (unlike Trump, who got, millions from his father), with a peculiar and unsupported reference to him <em>&#8220;running out of money.&#8221;<\/em> And then, of course, Trump alludes to Steyer as being a potential rival in 2020, which Steyer has never affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>In the interview with Jake Tapper on CNN&#8217;s State of the Union (video below), Steyer made a strong case refuting the false equivalency that conservatives allege with regard to violence against political leaders. He argued that there may have been perpetrators on both sides, but only one side has been flagrantly advocating the sort of hostilities that result in real, physical harm. And Trump is at the helm of that advocacy with his calls to assault protesters, his <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=39479\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">support for <em>&#8220;body slamming&#8221;<\/em> journalists<\/a><\/strong>, and his labeling political opponents, and the media, as enemies.<\/p>\n<p>However, the worst part of Trump&#8217;s tweet is that he posted it just days after it was revealed that Steyer was a recipient of a mail bomb from the now infamous <em>&#8220;MAGABomber.&#8221;<\/em> Trump has not expressed any sympathies directly to any of the targets of that virulently pro-Trump domestic terrorist, including two former presidents. But now he is overtly attacking one of those targets. Additionally, Steyer is half-Jewish, which makes Trump&#8217;s tweet even more reprehensible considering the mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue the day before.<\/p>\n<p>It seems that every day Donald Trump exposes more of the noxious hatred and ignorance that is the core of his character, or lack thereof. And with this one tweet he has reaffirmed his relentless dishonesty, his insensitivity toward people who have suffered tragedies, and his brazen bigotry. You have to admit that he has a unique talent for being the worst human being to ever occupy a place of power in the United States. And that&#8217;s an accomplishment that surely fills him with pride.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>How Fox News Deceives and Controls Their Flock:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00QSSMOES\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=B00QSSMOES&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=newscorpsecom-20&#038;linkId=TLI6JC2OYE22MUTS\" target=\"_blank\">Fox Nation vs. Reality: The Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><br \/>\nAvailable now at Amazon.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Democratic donor Tom Steyer, who was one of the intended recipients of last week\u2019s suspicious packages, says President Trump has created an atmosphere of \u201croutine, systematic lawlessness &#8230; in pursuit of victory at all costs\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CNNSOTU?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#CNNSOTU<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/co999Gmfq1\">pic.twitter.com\/co999Gmfq1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNNPolitics\/status\/1056587604664160257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 28, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Already?
