Despite complaining that he doesn’t have much time to sleep these days, President Donald Trump was up beyond midnight rage-tweeting about Republicans who oppose him and even took a shot at Kellyanne Conway’s marriage.
Americans were horrified by Trump’s outrageous claim that he has been somehow treated worse than former President Abraham Lincoln during his Fox News town hall in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
After all, Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.
In response to devastating ads by a group of Republicans known as the Lincoln Project, Trump went absolutely ballistic on Twitter in a post-midnight rant attacking Rick Wilson, Steve Schmidt and George Conway, against whom Trump went very personal.

Trump referred to these Republicans as “losers” and called them a “disgrace” to Lincoln, all while bragging about his effort to take over the courts and cut taxes for the wealthy and claiming that he has rebuilt the military (it didn’t need rebuilding).
But Trump particularly focused on George Conway, whom he referred to as “Moonface” and suggested that his wife Kellyanne did something really bad to him, a rare shot at Mrs. Conway and her marriage.
Trump then concluded by claiming that Lincoln is smiling down on him and the Republican Party of today.
A group of RINO Republicans who failed badly 12 years ago, then again 8 years ago, and then got BADLY beaten by me, a political first timer, 4 years ago, have copied (no imagination) the concept of an ad from Ronald Reagan, “Morning in America”, doing everything possible to….

….get even for all of their many failures. You see, these loser types don’t care about 252 new Federal Judges, 2 great Supreme Court Justices, a rebuilt military, a protected 2nd Amendment, biggest EVER Tax & Regulation cuts, and much more. I didn’t use any of them….

….because they don’t know how to win, and their so-called Lincoln Project is a disgrace to Honest Abe. I don’t know what Kellyanne did to her deranged loser of a husband, Moonface, but it must have been really bad. John Weaver lost big for Kasich (to me). Crazed Rick Wilson….

….lost for Evan “McMuffin” McMullin (to me). Steve Schmidt & Reed Galvin lost for John McCain, Romney’s campaign manager (?) lost big to “O”, & Jennifer Horn got thrown out of the New Hampshire Republican Party. They’re all LOSERS, but Abe Lincoln, Republican, is all smiles!

Trump’s Republican Party is nothing like Lincoln’s. The GOP under Trump’s control more closely resembles the conservative Democratic Party of Lincoln’s era. There’s no way Lincoln would be smiling about what his once-proud party has become under Trump. He would be smiling about the Republicans who are trying to take it back from Trump.
This latest tantrum by Trump should be enough for Kellyanne to say enough is enough and resign. And it should certainly trigger the 25th Amendment being invoked by the Cabinet because no sane president would ever launch such a late-night hissy fit, especially in the middle of a national crisis.
