David Frum's epic response to 45's complaints about how hard his job is

(I apologize if someone else has posted - I searched and couldn't find it.)

A tweet storm this morning:

I should have listened to W.




I shouldn't have trusted Newt but I thought he taught history or something.




OMG books!




The internet remembers!




Guess that wasn't too intelligent.




You mean I can't just make shit up?




Well, can't they just give up their i phones?




Who needs numbers? Let's just make a deal.




But hey, my handicap is lower!




Well no, it's all salt water and mixes somewhere, right?




Now that's currency manipulation!




I like my own, others not so much.




What a bunch of snowflakes!




Oh sweet caviar lotion! Time for more botox.

First and foremost, I do know Trump had a Twitter-tantrum, but I have not seen what he said.

So, are the words in-between Frum's the comments of the OP? Or Trump? Or both? I got lost.

Yet find common ground on others. Like righteous contempt for Trump. He's not a poo flinger like Fucker Carlson, Hannity, O'Reilly and Limpballs.


(Yes, I know all about the axis of evil and his tour of duty with the Bush junta.)

is that they are usually so good at communicating. With a series of tweets, he rips Trump hard and gets to the meat of the matter. Anyone reading between the lines would know what's going on with the administration these days.

He's a Republican, too. But apparently an American one.

ever since Trump took the stage. Though I disagree with him on many issues, I actually look forward to seeing him on various shows.
