Everybody Hates Donald

Donald Trump is quickly becoming the Rodney Dangerfield of modern American politics - the man can't seem to get any respect.

Just this past week a lowly Florida congresswoman with a penchant for wearing colorful cowboy hats tore into him repeatedly over insensitive comments that he made to a war widow, and the string of lies he told in trying to cover up those insensitive remarks.   Then John McCain castigated Trump with an off-the-cuff comment about rich boys who dodged the draft with bone spurs.

The broadsides were also coming in from overseas.   Nicholas Soames, a member of the British Parliament and Sir Winston Churchill's grandson, fired a shot back at Trump after he belittled the British Commonwealth and said the key to keeping America safe was controlling Islamists.  Soames suggested that gun control might also be a good place to start.  And in his tweet back at Trump, Nick Soames called The Donald a "daft twerp."

Everybody hates Donald - even the Brits!

And now Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee, the man who took Trump to the woodshed a couple of weeks ago when he referred to the Oval Office as an adult daycare center and said that he thought Trump's behaviors could bring about World War III, is back with more incendiary comments about the leader of the Republican Party.  Today Senator Corker told CNN that he believes Trump's ultimate legacy will be the "debasement of our nation."

The retiring Tennessee senator lamented:

“He’s obviously not going to rise to the occasion as president.  I think at the end of the day, when his term is over, I think the debasing of our nation, the constant non-truth-telling, just the name-calling ― I think the debasement of our nation will be what he’ll be remembered most for. And that’s regretful.”
The Tennessee senator also referred to Trump as a "serial liar" and said that he regretted supporting him in 2016.  Trump, being Trump, fired back several bullshit-laden tweets attacking Corker, proving to anyone paying attention that he (Trump) is not the least bit presidential.

But we all know there is more to Dear Leader that lying and name-calling.  There are also endless rounds of golf and his almost constant efforts to turn a personal profit off of his position in government.

It's more than just regretful, Bob.  It's sadistic, and in some cases it's criminal.

Donald Trump makes Nixon look presidential.
