Hours before his State of the Union address where he called for unity, President Donald Trump laid into prominent Democrats at a lunch with television anchors, calling Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) a “son of a bitch” and former Vice President Joe Biden “dumb.”
According to a Tuesday New York Times report, Trump talked at length about the possible Democratic candidates for 2020, reflecting on who he wants to run against.
“I hope it’s Biden,” Trump said. “Biden was never very smart. He was a terrible student. His gaffes are unbelievable. When I say something that you might think is a gaffe, it’s on purpose; it’s not a gaffe. When Biden says something dumb, it’s because he’s dumb.”
He added that he’d also like to run against Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and that Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) had the best rollout so far.
On Democratic leadership, he said that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is at least nice to him in private, but that Schumer “can be a nasty son of a bitch.”
Schumer reacted to the insult Wednesday morning: “So much for inclusiveness, so much for working together,” he said to CNN’s John Berman.
Calling people names is surely the way to earn respect and be able to work across party lines. Talk about dumb, you’re it!
This is why I never watch the SOTU. Trump delivering a teleprompted speech written for him by someone else is not the real Trump. He has no need for unity. The only true Trump quotes are the ones he tweets while on the porcelain throne.
Being nice to him at all is the only measure he has for the value of a human being. He doesn’t have any other metric.
Hahahaa! No extra comment is necessary.
If you are going to call Joe Biden anything call him what he truly is: a Republican pro-corporation through and through. Biden, like Clinton and Obama, is all about corporations while giving lip service to the working class and middle class.
Joe Biden single highhandedly assured Clarence Thomas would be approved to the SCOTUS when he cut off the 8 witnesses who would corroborated Thomas’s sexual harassment of women. Joe Biden speaks and campaigns for Republicans…even one’s facing quality Democratic challengers.
Biden has no business being in the people’s party. The party needs to start giving the boot to the Demo-Publicans like Biden and Mnuchin. We don’t need them and in fact they helped Trump and are helping him to this day.
