Democrat donor Tom Steyer’s $10 million impeachment campaign is getting under President Donald Trump’s skin.
Steyer’s one-minute advertisement — which asks voters to call Congress about filing articles of impeachment — has aired on cable news multiple times a day for the past week, including “Fox and Friends,” Trump’s favorite show.
That’s likely where the President saw the advertisement. He tweeted “Thank you @foxandfriends. Really great job and show!” just minutes after he criticized Steyer, calling the California billionaire activist “wacky” and “totally unhinged.”
Wacky & totally unhinged Tom Steyer, who has been fighting me and my Make America Great Again agenda from beginning, never wins elections!

Trump’s claim that Steyer “never wins elections” isn’t totally unfounded. The former hedge fund manager spent more than $70 million in support of Democrats in the 2014 election cycle with little success. He gave $80 million-plus to Democrats in 2016, according to The Atlantic. Steyer has said he’s not ruling out a 2020 presidential run or a 2018 California gubernatorial bid, but he claims the new advertisement is a just a way to raise awareness, not gain publicity.
In the video, Steyer outlines all of Trump’s “dangerous” moves as President thus far, and said that a Republican Congress “once impeached a President for far less.”
“Yet today people in Congress and his own administration know that this President is a clear and present danger who’s mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons, and they do nothing,” he said.
Watch the advertisement below:
Why does the media even bother reporting when he starts projecting again?
So predictable!
Pot, call kettle.
One would think people couldn’t help but see this pattern of attacks and name calling repeat itself over and over.
Trump is the one who’s totally unhinged.
Beat me to it. He really needs work on his repertoire and his vocabulary, I imagine it might be getting a bit stale even with his fans.
I’ve heard that most people and other presidents have a different way of dealing with criticism. Time to change the channel, change the station, change the record, change the president, change the Congress - this is way past getting old.
