A headline in today’s New York Times: “Trump Calls Comey ‘Untruthful Slime Ball’ as Book Details Released” [Eileen Sullivan].
Our beloved President has it too easy: all he has to do to come up with an epithet to smear on someone is to look in the mirror. Most of us have to use our imagination.
At least, on this occasion, Mr. Trump selected an epithet that characterizes himself supremely well. Bravo, Mr. President! You are a coper, sir!
Excerpts from the NY Times story:
WASHINGTON — President Trump, in a pair of tweets on Friday, called the former F.B.I. director-turned-tell-all author James B. Comey an “untruthful slime ball” and a “proven LEAKER & LIAR,” and said it was “my great honor to fire” him, a day after excerpts from Mr. Comey’s book were shared ahead of its release next week....
The insult slinging has officially begun, and neither Mr. Trump nor Mr. Comey minced their words.
Mr. Trump’s face appeared “slightly orange, with bright white half-moons under his eyes where I assumed he placed small tanning goggles,” Mr. Comey writes....
Republican allies of Mr. Trump’s have planned a counteroffensive and created a “Lyin’ Comey” website aimed at discrediting the former F.B.I. chief.
ABC’s “20/20” is set to air an interview with Mr. Comey on Sunday morning. And Fox News, the president’s preferred TV news network, plans to air a special called “The Trial of James Comey” Sunday night. [read more]
