Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., aka (by President Trump) “Joe Munchkin,” said Monday that he wasn’t bothered by a flurry of weekend taunts by Trump, who has singled him out, along with Mitt Romney, R-Utah, for abuse for his vote in the Senate impeachment trial. Trump was acquitted of two articles of impeachment brought by the House, with all 47 Senate Democrats voting to convict him, joined by Romney on the first count, which charged him with abuse of power.
“Do you think names bother me?” Manchin said in an interview on MSNBC (aka, by Trump, “MSDNC,” a play on the initials of the Democratic National Committee). “Do I look like I’m small and fragile? Names don’t bother me, and the president knows he can’t get to me that way.”
As for Trump’s insult nickname, Manchin observed, “I’m taller than him and a little bit bigger than he is, not heavier. He’s much heavier than me, but I’m a little bit taller than him, so I guess he got that a little bit off.”

no, Trump got this right - Manchin is a mental munchkin.
Not too bright, is he?
A mental-munchkin as well.
“no, Trump got this right - Manchin is a mental munchkin.”
what a great retort...Trump to Manchin: “I wasn’t referring to your physical stature”
If Trump singles him out for ridicule, there is no way Joe Munchkin will win re-election in WV.
Manchin polished up his liberal bona fides with his anti-Trump vote so he can be available as VP (or if the stars align right- Prez!)nomination for the coming 2020 election. Particularly if its a “brokered convention” he’s making himself ready. Also this sets him up to run in 2024. He either has blown off re-election to the Senate in 2024 or thinks WV’ians will forget and the WV GOP runs another mediocre candidate (which they usually do!).
In that regard he is indeed a Munchkin.

He represents the Lollipop Guild.
Apropos of nothing, my favorite number from "The Wizard of Oz" is the Coroner's song. Later in my life, it started to remind me of Hillary Clinton.
Why would anyone pick this fight?
He is a mental munchkin....
Yeah I do think he is really bothered by this.
He’s a Democrat...and that’s the lowest.
To me Manchin was always a Oompa-Loompa!
Joe Munchkin
LOL
One of the benefits of moving there is to vote him out.
Trump got this right - Manchin is a mental munchkin.”
What a great retort...Trump to Manchin: “I wasn’t referring to your physical stature”
Manchin misses the meaning of the slight. MENTAL has nothing to do with weight.
He also should use “I” instead of me, “you’re much heavier than I. (I am)
BOL!
Would he prefer Ankle-Biter?
Or perhaps l’enfant terrible
