So, Trump docks to fellow Republican, which earned him a rare rebuke from a GOP senator. The president, as we know, can be sometimes... Um... He exists loudly. He can be tempestuous. He can go from zero to a -hole in about three seconds. Very funny. Very funny to start with polite language like tempestuous and then just cave in and admit he's an ass - Kennedy went from careful to not giving a f*** in less than three seconds. Also, you know you're talking about someone you support, right, Kristen? The president's a great man, and I love him, but he's also madder than a hornet with a hemorrhoid. He's the greatest president of my lifetime, and every meeting with him is like dipping your balls in a burlap sack full of hermit crabs. Long story short, he's a dick.
