Donald Trump’s Twitter timeline today is a goldmine of stupidity, and looking through his tweets will make you feel like a friggin’ genius. From potty jokes to misspellings, it’s all there. Reading through Trump’s tweets each day will suck IQ points out of your head.
What caught the Internet’s attention was when Trump quoted a New York Times piece from Feb. 1 that he didn’t realize was critical of him, but the word “king” was in it and that captured the former reality show star’s attention, apparently. The author was quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson. Trump, of course, changed the quote from “a king” to “the king.”
“Ralph Waldo Emerson seemed to foresee the lesson of the Senate Impeachment Trial of President Trump. ‘When you strike at the King, Emerson famously said, “you must kill him.’ Mr. Trump’s foes struck at him but did not take him down. A triumphant Mr.Trump emerges from the…..

He tweeted out a fart joke this morning. If there was any doubt that he acts more like a middle school bully, in intellect and temperament, than any sane adult, it has evaporated.

The “emboldened” part is exactly what we’ve all been worried about with President Ranty following his acquittal by Senate Republicans in a trial that disallowed witnesses and documents. Everything is playing out as predicted, unfortunately.
