President Trump kicked off his week bright and early Monday morning by ridiculing former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford (R) over an affair he had with an Argentinian woman.
The Twitter lashing was likely triggered by Trump’s cable news consumption. Just minutes after the former Republican governor appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Monday, the President started tweeting about Sanford, who recently announced his intention to run against Trump in 2020.
In the tweets, Trump raised an embarrassing past political saga involving Sanford. In 2009, Sanford disappeared for several days while meeting up with an Argentinian woman he was having an affair with. Sanford returned to the U.S. and gave an emotional interview admitting to the affair. Sanford’s staff and wife were reportedly unaware of his whereabouts and his staff told reporters at the time that he was hiking the Appalachian Trail.
…but then he ran for Congress and won, only to lose his re-elect after I Tweeted my endorsement, on Election Day, for his opponent. But now take heart, he is back, and running for President of the United States. The Three Stooges, all badly failed candidates, will give it a go!

Trump now has three GOP challengers in 2020: Sanford, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld and former Illinois Republican lawmaker Joe Walsh.
Republicans, this is your guy: triggered by a news story and attacking someone for an affair. You own this clueless narcissistic buffoon.
Not related to this but some funny stuff on Gorka.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihLWfhuwyJETrump is jealous that Sanford had an affair that he didn’t have to pay the woman for. Someone actually found Sanford attractive. Never happened to the Dotard.
Yeah … sure … if that is so critical of an issue - the nation will be overwhelmingly repulsed by the aroma and memory of Trump & Stormy Daniels & all of the lurid details
What is that smell? his “deodorant” … probably something like this -
Only a fricking incompetent idiot would be proud of smearing a House Rep of his party, only to have that Rep lose the primary, and the primary victor go on to defeat by the opposition party:
Sanford was criticized by President Donald Trump for being “very unhelpful,” and “nothing but trouble” hours before polls closed on the day of the June 12th Republican primary. Trump also endorsed state Representative Katie Arrington as the Republican nominee for Sanford’s seat. Arrington defeated Sanford in the Republican primary by garnering 50.5% of the vote, to Sanford’s 46.5%. Sanford became the second Republican to lose renomination to the House of Representatives
After his loss, The New York Times wrote, “Mark Sanford of South Carolina found out the hard way, in his surprise primary defeat” that "having a conservative voting record is less important than demonstrating total loyalty to Mr. Trump."
On November 6, 2018, Democrat Joe Cunningham was elected as his successor, defeating Arrington in an upset election.
