Perhaps you’ve heard about or even read Donald Trump’s recent tweets targeting Morning Joe hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Disgusting personal attacks on a woman’s physical appearance that are, according to photographic evidence from the evening in question, untrue.
In a series of two connected tweets about that night, he managed to categorically lie three times.
Then there was the video of Trump body slamming and choking a man with a CNN box superimposed over his head that he tweeted on Sunday, less than 24 hours after his spokesperson said, “The President in no way, form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence.”
People are shocked. Stunned. They can’t believe how the President of the United States has engaged in such petty, infantile behavior with so many real problems in need of solutions. They are worried that Trump is unhinged. Out of control. Dangerous, even.
No one should be surprised.
Let me remind you that we had ample warning of this long before Trump was elected President. One television commercial in particular laid out the case rather concisely.
