Trump skewers Buttigieg, 2020 Dem rivals at Florida rally

President Trump went after four of his Democratic opponents at a Florida campaign rally Wednesday night, smacking South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg especially hard for the first time.

“We have that young man, Buttigieg, boot-edge-edge, they say boot-edge-edge,” Trump said, repeating the pronunciation chant that supporters of the 37-year-old mayor use at rallies. “He’s got a great chance, doesn’t he? He’ll be great representing us against President Xi of China.”

“I want to be in that room, I want to watch that one,” the president said at the event in Panama City Beach.

Prior to bringing up Buttigieg — who the president has mildly gone after in the past — Trump hit the Democrats’ two front-runners, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)

“In fact one of the Democrats today said that he — it’s a he, sleepy person,” Trump said as an aside. “Said that he heard from a lot of foreign leaders that they want him to be president.”

“Of course they do, so they can continue to rip off the United States,” Trump continued. “If I heard that, I’d never vote for him,” the president added.

Trump went on to knock “crazy Bernie” saying that Democrats had some “real beauties.”

He also mocked former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke’s plunge in the polls.

I don’t know, Buttigieg might like being skewered.

CNN tomorrow:

"President Trump viciously attacked Democratic presidential candidate and Mayor Pete Buttigieg with anti-gay slurs."

It’s good to hear Trump out talking to his base again. Personally I wish he would completely ignore Pete Butt-plug. Nothing would upset Mayor Petey more than not being acknowledged by our president. Don’t give that little attention queen the satisfaction of hearing his name mentioned.

Just giving traction to counter plugs. We don't want any of them running away with the nomination.

Yeah, that worked really well for GW, McCain and Romney. Fighting back is so unseemly.
