Trump takes aim at Mark Sanford, his newest GOP challenger

Source: Politico

President Donald Trump on Monday trashed former South Carolina governor and congressman Mark Sanford’s newly announced bid for the Republcian presidential nomination, dredging up Sanford’s years-old extra-marital affair and mocking his defeat in the 2018 midterm elections.

“When the former Governor of the Great State of South Carolina, @MarkSanford, was reported missing, only to then say he was away hiking on the Appalachian Trail, then was found in Argentina with his Flaming Dancer friend, it sounded like his political career was over,” Trump tweeted.

“It was, but then he ran for Congress and won, only to lose his re-elect after I Tweeted my endorsement, on Election Day, for his opponent,” he continued, alluding to his support for Sanford's GOP primary challenger, who wound up losing the Congressional seat to Democrat Joe Cunningham. “But now take heart, he is back, and running for President of the United States. The Three Stooges, all badly failed candidates, will give it a go!”

Sanford over the weekend became the third Republican to say he would challenge Trump in 2020, tweeting Sunday that he would focus his platform on fiscal austerity, federal spending and the need to address the nation’s mounting debt.

tRump does not have enough sense to shut his anus-shaped mouth. He has done much worse personally than anyone who has the courage to compete with him. What a stupid, ignorant person he is.

Marital infidelity is fairly standard for conservative family values types anyway.

We immortalize the 3 Stooges. A great comedy team..While one might say that Trump is a "Stooge" he is not of the integrity of our famous Trio..

...In respect to the "3 Stooges" please refer to Mr. Trump as a "Total Stupid Idiot" as opposed to a "Stooge"
................We know that you will respect the wishes of our important Association..Thank You for respect..

I said to my wife, "I wonder how long it will take Trump to attack Sanford on his morals?"

"That would be very hypocritical of Trump, given his history," she responded.

"And?" I laughed.
