Gillibrand Twists the Pig's Tail

The tail of a pig is usually a small, curley-que affair that is far from its most prominent feature - much less noticeable than its piggish snout and true cloven hooves, for example.  But, minuscule size aside, New York's Senator Kirsten Gillibrand somehow managed to grab Donald Trump's itty-bitty tail and give it a mighty twist . . . and, oh boy, did that pig squeal!

Trump was no doubt tanked on Diet Coke and basking in the warm glow of hour number seven or eight of Fox News yesterday when the story broke that Gillibrand had called for his resignation over a dozen-plus allegations of sexual abuse.  Trump, who has publicly admitted to the sexual abuse of women based on his "star" status, was not amused.

Gillibrand's call for Trump's resignation came on the same day that several of his accusers were banding together to give interviews and generate public interest in their stories of sexual abuse at the hands of a man who has openly bragged about grabbing women by the genitals and kissing them without their consent.

Trump, predictably, could not let the senator's affront go unanswered.  He grabbed his iPhone and banged out this hasty Tweet:

"Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!"

("Lightweight?"  Really, Pork Chop?  Is that the best you've got?  Compared to you, most of the world is "lightweight!")

Besides being a powerful argument for Twitter going back to its old character limit on 140, Trump managed  to spew his anger not only on Gillibrand, a Democratic presidential possibility in 2020, but onto other New York "enemies" as well including Senator Schumer and Bill and Hillary Clinton.  The most stinging part of the rebuke was undoubtedly intended to be the statement that Gillibrand had been to see Trump "begging" for contributions and would do "anything" for them.

How did that grab you, Kirsten?

That was Trump squealing pure pig.  If he's down to name-calling, the smell of frying bacon will soon be wafting in on the breeze.

Keep twisting, Senator.  Keep twisting!
