The Toast Party

Traveling must not agree with Donald Trump because he returned from his recent foray around Asia spitting even more venom than usual.  Trump's tweets since returning from Asia have been so deranged that they have even been criticized on Fox News, of all places.  Fox host Neil Cavuto took Trump to task over his vitriolic remarks about the father of one of the UCLA basketball players who had been arrested in China for shoplifting - and also for an unseemly attack on Arizona Senator Jeff Flake.

When the father of one of the UCLA players declined to thank Trump for assisting in his son's release, Trump exploded on Twitter over the man's ingratitude and said he "should have left them in jail."  How dare that black man not bend before the Great Orange Potentate!  Cavuto wasn't having it, and noted that Trump seemed to expect "gratitude bordering on groveling."

Donald Trump is a narcissist, and he does expect people to grovel before his magnificent self.

Cavuto also took note of Trump's most recent attack on Jeff Flake.  Flake had been caught on a "hot" microphone back home in Arizona telling a local politician that the Republican Party was going to become "toast" if it stood by people like Donald Trump and Roy Moore.  He didn't tweet his remark for the whole world to see, but it was overheard and eventually reached the ear of Trump.

But again, Trump is a narcissist and does not take criticism well.  He fired back a tweet at "Senator Jeff Flake(y)" saying that Flake had "purposely" spoken on a hot mike "saying bad things about your favorite president" - and predicting that Flake would be a "NO" vote on "tax cuts."  Trump then predicted that it was Flake's career that was toast.

Cavuto, after hammering on Trump's tendency toward overkill, informed Trump that he was running out of friends, and then suggested, "You are the president of the United States.  Why don't you act like it?"

Why indeed.

But meanwhile lets all sit back and enjoy the ever increasing piles of Republican toast.  Would somebody please pass the marmalade?
