Words fail me.
Donald Trump has called out one of the smartest commentators/pundits on television, calling him a “clown.”
Dr. Charles Krauthammer was the target of The Donald’s vitriol. Why? Because the commentator had the bad taste to point out that Trump’s poll standing is in the toilet (although he didn’t use that term; it’s mine).
Trump called Krauthammer a “dummy” and maybe a few other unprintable words as well.
The Donald is talking about running for the Republican presidential nomination next year. I don’t think he’s seriously considering such a thing.
Krauthammer is one of Fox News’s go-to guys on the political commentary desk. Do I agree with Krauthammer? Hardly ever. But, man, the guy’s smart.
I should remind you here that Krauthammer once was a medical doctor. He worked as a psychiatrist. I don’t believe “clowns” and “dummies” get medical degrees from reputable universities, as Dr. Krauthammer did.
The real clown here is Donald Trump, a self-absorbed egomaniac with absolutely no sense of self-awareness.
He’s a smart businessman — I reckon. But business smarts do not translate to political smarts — which The Donald demonstrates every time he opens his trap.
