WASHINGTON, D.C. June 30 (DPI) – The nation’s citizens – or at least those who take to comment boards on news sites – are beside themselves yet again, as the President of our United States tweeted an out-of-nowhere statement mocking, in vulgar terms, a cable news commentator whose pre-tweet fame and standing were marginal.
Thousands of readers on NYtimes.com and Washingtonpost.com, among other news sites, tried to process the president’s behavior, much less understand it. “Where are his handlers? His behavior is so outrageous and inappropriate – forget about Presidential!” wrote a poster yesterday, garnering 6600 reader recommendations. Wrote another: “The man’s mental state is downright dangerous.”
The lead story on the NYT site included nearly 7,000 comments in less than 24 hours. It’s all because the leader of the free world took a vulgar potshot at TV personality Mika Brzezinski, apparently because he didn’t like that she criticized him.
(Trump) described Ms. Brzezinski as “low I.Q. Crazy Mika” and claimed in a series of Twitter posts that she had been “bleeding badly from a face-lift” during a social gathering at Mr. Trump’s resort in Florida around New Year’s Eve. The White House did not explain what had prompted the outburst, but a spokeswoman said Ms. Brzezinski deserved a rebuke because of her show’s harsh stance on Mr. Trump.
Brzezinski and her fiance and broadcast partner Joe Scarborough put off a planned vacation and will stay on the air, presumably to mop up the ratings bonanza triggered by such a nonsensical incident.
Readers all over the the internet – but especially on news sites – raised the now-familiar question: Is Trump sane? The highest rated comments:
And Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan will say ….. nothing.
More shock and outrage at non-events- we know he is a vulgarian.. Who cares what he says about her. Pay attention to the destruction of our country instead…leaving Paris accords, and all the foxes he unleashed in our hen houses- department of education, commerce, healthcare, etc. People will suffer needlessly and die because of this unqualified pretender.
This has got to stop. Where are his handlers? His behavior is so outrageous and inappropriate – forget about Presidential! How low can he go and when will he have gone so low that his Party is snapped out of their anti-Obama deregulation hypnotic state to do something about it?
… as his wife tackles the issue of cyberbullying…
Oh, for the days when we had President Obama, a man who unfailingly showed his respect for all women, beginning with his wife and daughters. Now we have a president who claims that no one respects women more than he does, but who shows the opposite.
I am speechless. I have already contacted several senators’ offices to request that we openly discuss the mental health of this man. This has gotten beyond scary —- this man’s mental state is downright dangerous. And we need to start addressing this immediately.
