Opinion: Trump does the impossible. He sinks even lower

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former President Donald Trump reminded us again this weekend that there’s no bottom to his vileness. This latest installment in Trump sinking to new lows came on Saturday when he was campaigning in South Carolina in advance of that state’s February 24 Republican presidential primary.

Trump first alarmingly stated that he would encourage Russian to do “whatever the hell they want” to NATO allies that didn’t meet the alliance’s military spending guidelines. He then turned his attention to his GOP presidential opponent Nikki Haley.

That is when Trump did something we’ve never seen from a major political party candidate: Use the active military deployment of a spouse to ridicule an opponent. Trump — who never served in the US military — told the crowd that Haley had visited him at Mar-a-Lago along with her husband, Maj. Michael Haley, and had allegedly assured him that she would never run against him.

Trump — who is currently out on bail in connection with criminal charges he faces in Georgia (he denies any wrongdoing) — then declared to the crowd, “Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away.” Trump then leaned into the mocking, quipping, “What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband?! Where is he?! He’s gone. He knew. He knew.”

[Faux pas]

1. His

low-o-meter is bottomless for sure

[calimary]

2. Lower than low.

I wouldn’t vote for Nikki Haley, but I wouldn’t say any such thing about her, either.

What does that say about the goons who lap this up like a hungry kitten with a saucer of cream?

3. and why isn't the press calling him out as a traitor. I mean shit, they should have done it after

January 6. Now he is encouraging Russia to attack our allies, and if he is in the WH, he won't lift a finger.

This isn't the first time either, and it is way overdue for the press to start calling it out what it is.

Their rabid attacks against Biden's age and memory based the politically motivated Hur report, had the media jumping all over themselves, while an actually threat to our allies, security, and democracy response is ho hum.

What a lazy, inept, incompetent state of affairs journalism is today in our country.

4. BTW, where's the first escort???? nt

5. When Trump goes low

you can be sure next time he’ll go lower.

6. Surely *rump knew Haley's husband was in the military?

I'm thinking that was some sort of implicit threat against Haley and her husband, kind of like "stand back and stand by" ears attuned to the message would know what this meant.
