Trump Gets a Taste of His Own Medicine With Ugly, Unproven Allegations

"SNIP............


Donald Trump just found out how it feels to be slandered by the powerful and he doesn’t like it.

After powering his way to the presidency with innuendo, slander, and lies, Trump was painted as a sexual pervert, corrupt businessman, and Russian pawn in an explosive dossier published by BuzzFeed.

.............

Senator Joe McCarthy did this to great effect while he hunted imaginary communists everywhere from the U.S. Army to CBS News. At his side was attorney Roy Cohn, who became the Trump family consigliere and taught young Donald how to fight, with the admonition to “never apologize, always attack.”

If Cohn were still alive, he would be beaming at his former protégé. After all, McCarthy never made it out of the Senate; Trump will move into the Oval Office in 10 days.

to being able to throw a pee-soaked doll from his balcony all of the way down to a dumptruck. That's over 660 feet down!
