It's the only reasonable response to the Trumpster's latest example of full-on psychopathic behavior. And for the cherry on top, he lied about the encounter, called everyone who heard his hollow words as being fabulists. They made it up; he didn't say it. He has proof.

The only proof is the growing evidence of the man's callousness, his repeated soulless responses to anyone/anything that demands empathy, intelligence, understanding.

Josh Marshall at TPM wrote yesterday: the man is poison. Equally on the mark is Rick Wilson's mantra: Everything Trump Touches Dies. I stand by the story/lyrics that Trump repeated during the campaign: The wounded, venomous snake invited into the house. However, the ending needs a rewrite, specifically the kind woman, seeing the snake for what he is, heaves the reptile into the fire. And never looks back.
