President Donald Trump channeled his Tuesday night rage at three Republicans who have announced, or are considering, a primary run against him.
Can you believe it? I’m at 94% approval in the Republican Party, and have Three Stooges running against me. One is “Mr. Appalachian Trail” who was actually in Argentina for bad reasons….

….Another is a one-time BAD Congressman from Illinois who lost in his second term by a landslide, then failed in radio. The third is a man who couldn’t stand up straight while receiving an award. I should be able to take them!

The stooges in question are already-announced challengers former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R), and possible contender former Rep. Mark Sanford (R-SC).
The tweets are the first time Trump has mentioned the mild-mannered Weld, who has been in the race for months. However, Walsh just announced his run last weekend and has pledged to “get in the President’s face every day” with frequent TV appearances and his typical brand of bombast. Walsh’s primary bid, while likely as long shot as Weld’s, has the potential to get under Trump’s skin far more intensely.
So nice to see our pResident engaged with the serious problems the country and the world are facing.
Ha. It takes one to know three.
Admittedly anyone challenging Trump as a Republican will be deeply flawed and vulnerable to this behavior. Because they are Republicans.
Their campaigns will be typified by “My malfunction is not as bad as his malfunction” debating.
where was I ?
I“I should be able to take them!”
Well, what do you know, your tax returns show that Russian oligarchs co-signed your Deutsche Bank loans. And you are sliding very quickly into full-blown dementia. You will not be on the ticket in 2020.
