Is Chelsea Clinton Donald Trump’s most formidable Twitter foe? (mega barf alert)
The Mercury News ^ | 2/22/2017 | Martha Ross

Posted on 02/23/2017 4:48:42 AM PST by simpson96

Of all the public figures and Hollywood stars who’ve been using social media to protest Donald Trump and the policies of his month-old presidency, Chelsea Clinton has emerged as one of his most relentless — and possibly formidable — critics.

With a mix of mild sarcasm, exasperation and humanitarian concern, the former first daughter daily delivers sharp commentary on Trump to her 1.5 million Twitter followers. (snip)

After White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said it should be up to states, not the federal government, on whether it’s OK to discriminate against LGBTQ people, Chelsea tweeted: “Discrimination as a states rights issue so 20th century….right? Hopefully? Please? I just keep thinking is this really happening in 2017?!”

Earlier this week, the 36-year-old board member of her parents’ Clinton Foundation also blasted the Trump administration for its failure to take a hard stand against anti-Semitism. (snip)

And like a lot of Twitter users, Chelsea has had fun with some of the president’s false or nonsensical statements, such as his assertion Saturday night that something terrible had happened in Sweden the night before. Since no tragedy occurred in Sweden on Friday, Chelsea decided to highlight the Trump administration’s tendency to invent terrorist attacks.

As Mashable writer Rebecca Ruiz points out, the former first daughter must tread carefully in how she expresses her objection to Trump’s policies; she can’t come off sounding like a sore loser because her mother Hillary Clinton lost the election.

Not surprisingly, Chelsea’s tweets have met with criticism from Trump supporters, trolling her with reminders about her mother’s defeat or her family’s own share of controversies and scandals. But she seems undeterred.

How can you be a nemesis when an effective counter is always “So’s your ol’ man!”

Chelsea Hubble was treated with kid gloves as a child. But now we can ask her for a genetic test on parentage.

Mohammedan women (even self-described ones) aren’t allowed to use the internet.

I have yet to see President Trump refer to Chelsea at all in his tweets. So the short answer is “No.”

Chelsea should remember that when DJT told her mother “because you'd be in jail” during the debate he was speaking of the *Clinton* Foundation...not the Hillary Foundation.

It must be hard for Chelsea to know that her mother and father are both POS. They are. How can she respect either?

Chelsea in a brainy war of wits with President Trump?

She should be arrested for assault with a dead weapon.

So Clinton has 1.5 million Twitter followers, Trump has upwards of 20 million, and she’s a threat?

Someone needs to explain to this stupid snowflake that discrimination is integral to everyday life. You choose one restaurant over another. One plumber over another. What's being determined by the political process is what discrimination is illegal.

It is breathtaking that leftists in the MSM like Martha Ross unabashedly prop up and pimp this untalented, immature, not-very-bright spoiled princess, pretend hse is relevant, and give her a nation-wide soapbox.
