President Trump, who gained five military deferments due to alleged bone spurs, lashed out today at Pennsylvania Congressman Conor Lamb, who rose to the rank of Captain in the Marine Corps.
On the stump for a Republican challenger to Lamb's re-election campaign, Trump went on another mindless Twantrum, calling Lamb "an American fraud".
No, Mr. President. The fraud is you.
You hid behind your family's money and refused to serve in the military, following the lead of your father & grandfather, as apparently, there's a family allergy to military service (Thanks to correspondent Mike Doran for the information on the Trump family). You had the gall to dance on John McCain's grave, still smearing him after he passed away a couple of years ago. You've been pampered so much, there's a rumor that Procter & Gamble offered you stock.
Your voter base is built around the disenfranchised, the disgruntled, tired of the status quo. They hoped you were something different, and, well, in a way they were right. Unfortunately, for a political neophyte, you're proving to be even worse than the average political lifer. You're jealous of your predecessors. The men who've sat in the same chair you have now did so with honor, dignity, and respect for the office and the people. It could be said that Barack Obama's inspiration was the late Martin Luther King, Jr.. Yours? Most likely Vince McMahon and Joe Isuzu (David Leisure). You trample upon the legacy, tarnished as it is, of the late Richard Nixon. You wish you had at least 10% of the late Ronald Reagan's charisma, if not also Jimmy Carter's. You made George W. Bush look like a Rhodes Scholar.
Former basketball coach-turned-executive Pat Riley, one of the 518's own, coined the phrase, "the disease of me". You might not have coronavirus, Mr. President, but you do have the "disease of me", that much is patently obvious.
I honestly hope that the Democratic Party sees your latest Twantrum, and decides that lightning can strike twice, this time with Lamb, a first-term Congressman, replacing Joe Biden as your opponent in November. Otherwise, we'll be waiting for Election Night sponsored by Depends, Philips' Milk of Magnesia, Ginkoba,.........
