You know...a lot of folks see President Trump as being thin-skinned, and maybe he comes off that way, but I’m starting to think he is using a well thought out calculated strategy here. He seems to have a policy of hitting back hard whenever he gets unfairly criticized and I can’t help but think this is not a bad idea. Folks like McCain have gotten a free pass for too long, and the Pres is simply demonstrating the old adage of not throwing rocks when you live in a glass house. It’s actually a great way to hold these idiots accountable and will probably raise the bar quite a bit. Refreshing!
I am all for hitting back. This “my esteemed colleague” crap is a one way ratchet for people to attack someone politically and instead of fighting back and shoving it in their faces, you roll over and expose your underbelly.
GW Bush did this for eight years, and it drove me crazy.
