Trump gets personal by insulting Schiff’s “brains, honor, and strength,” complains about Democratic “bullsh*t”
President Trump took to Twitter on Wednesday morning in a furious rage, rattling off a series of tweets in which he called for the resignation of House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and unloading his frustration at what he’s now calling the “Do Nothing Democrats” for the “bullsh*t” impeachment investigation over his now-infamous conversation with Ukranian President Zelensky (which has apparently been downgraded from a “perfect” conversation to just “very good”).
The Do Nothing Democrats should be focused on building up our Country, not wasting everyone’s time and energy on BULLSHIT, which is what they have been doing ever since I got overwhelmingly elected in 2016, 223-306. Get a better candidate this time, you’ll need it!

All the Do Nothing Democrats are focused on is Impeaching the President for having a very good conversation with the Ukrainian President. I knew that many people were listening, even have a transcript. They have been at this “stuff” from the day I got elected. Bad for Country!

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Trump tweet without some kind of unnecessary and petulant personal attack. The president slammed Schiff as a “lowlife” for paraphrasing the president’s phone transcript in Congressional testimony and said that he couldn’t measure up to Mike Pompeo, who graduated from West Point.
Adam Schiff should only be so lucky to have the brains, honor and strength of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. For a lowlife like Schiff, who completely fabricated my words and read them to Congress as though they were said by me, to demean a First in Class at West Point, is SAD!

For what it’s worth, Adam Schiff graduated from Stanford and then went to Harvard Law, so it’s pretty clear that his brains are just fine. It’s ironic that Trump would bring up honor since Schiff is the one defending the republic from a Constitution-violating would-be authoritarian and the “first in his class” Pompeo is the one enabling and defending the president’s crimes.
The tweets this morning mark an escalation of the president’s angry rhetoric and signify an intensification of the president’s growing frustration with his inability to tweet this problem away. Always projecting, Trump’s obsession with the “Do Nothing”-ness of the Democrats is clearly a reflection of his own inability to get anything done, be it any kind of legislative proposal (which he is uninterested in) or in making the threats to his presidency go away (his all-consuming obsession).
We can expect the president’s Twitter outbursts to get more and more frantic — and possibly more vulgar — as events continue to unfold.
