Donald John Trump suffers acute short-term memory loss.<\/p>\n

Take a quick gander at this message, which he sent out via Twitter:<\/p>\n

The only things the Democrats do well is \u201cResist,\u201d which is their campaign slogan, and \u201cObstruct.\u201d Cryin\u2019 Chuck Schumer has almost 400 great American people that are waiting \u201cforever\u201d to serve our Country! A total disgrace. Mitch M should not let them go home until all approved!<\/em><\/p>\n

Sigh and double-sigh!<\/p>\n

“Mitch M” is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, whose picture should appear next to the dictionary definition of “obstructionist.” Why is that?<\/p>\n

Well, he obstructed President Barack Obama’s choice for the U.S. Supreme Court seat vacated by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Obama nominated federal judge Merrick Garland, a supremely qualified candidate. McConnell obstructed the nomination even before the president announced it, declaring that in 2016 there would be an election first and that Obama would not be allowed to fill this seat even though he had nearly a year to go before moving aside for the next president.<\/p>\n

Obstructionist, Mr. President? “Mitch M” is the king of obstructionists.<\/p>\n\n
