I'm proud to live in a country whose leader flies overseas just for the very important job of...

...rage tweeting about Bette Midler.

I mean...can anyone tell me why he is rage tweeting about Bette Midler?

Honestly I’m sure it’s not important why the supposed free leader of the world is spending his time as Statesman in Chief rage tweeting about Bette Midler.

But I still sort of want an explanation as to exactly why now he has chosen to rage tweet about Bette Midler.

1. He's up at 1:30 am, local time rage tweeting

Heartburn after the big fancy dinner at the US Ambassadors residence in London?

19. He misses walking through the White House screaming at staff and wall portraits

He could be tweeting there or here - at least he's in a location where protesters are allowed to protest in mass. I like it when he travels after Obama was our president. The rest of the world is smart enough to know we are all not like him.

2. Bette Midler tweeted about his outfit, to fire his tailor

Apparently she knows all the rights and wrongs for attire.

8. Omg, I love you, Bette!

"Donald, if you’re reading this you SHOULD NOT slam your dick in a door!"

3. I am sure Obama had plenty

of nasty tweets and such about him but he is man enough to not reply like a childish prick.

14. I'm pretty sure President Obama never tweeted while being president

Politicians didn’t tweet. It was Trump who single handed brought politics and the presidency down into the gutter.

16. I agree.

[marble falls]

4. Why? He's fucking goofy.

[unblock]

5. Yeah! Rage tweeting about celebrities stops at the border's edge!

Another norm destroyed by Donald fraud....

6. Washed up psycho. A sick scammer!

13. tRUMP tweets about himself..

[LonePirate]

7. Thousands upon thousands of people tweeted jokes about his attire and he goes after Bette Midler?

[htuttle]

11. I think he mostly does it for the publicity. Who would care if he attacked Jane Q. Public?

He attacks a famous person, he gets more famous, in his mind. Kind of a Mark David Chapman approach to fame, I guess.

Also, Bette Midler is a famous uppity woman He hates that.

9. poor washed up bette, sold out in advance her entire run as hello dolly lol nt

[BigmanPigman]

10. I wrote the same thing and never got a response from the fucking moron.

My feelings are hurt. Yesterday I wrote on DU yesterday...

"What about her tubby dad?
His white "waist coat" seems too long and his "cutaway" coat too short. It emphasizes his girth."

I guess he doesn't read DU posts...

[IcyPeas]

12. lemme guess

because it makes headlines? he wouldn't go after Joe Schmow because no one would care. But we know Bette.

as long as he is in the news he is winning

[Iggo]

15. Because he's a fucking idiot. (n/t)

[forgotmylogin]

17. Trump likes choosing soft targets.

Not that Midler is "soft" or incapable of handling herself, but she's not in any position to jeopardize anything financially or politically for him.

And he'd much rather be a celebrity on a reality show than president.

[CCExile]

18. I think that in Trump's syphilitic brain...

celebrities are the most important people on Earth. His celebrity as POTUS is FAR more important than the position's power, responsibility, or danger.
