"SNIP........

Trump tweeted:


Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper! Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information. Must be stopped!

Schiff responded:


Adam Schiff

@RepAdamSchiff
Mr. President, I see you’ve had a busy morning of “Executive Time.” Instead of tweeting false smears, the American people would appreciate it if you turned off the TV and helped solve the funding crisis, protected Dreamers or...really anything else.





Adam Schiff doesn’t play

The lesson here for Trump is that he is dealing with grown-ups now, and Adam Schiff isn’t going to play with him. By the way, Trump also appears to be out of insult nicknames. He also used a version of the “little” nickname on Marco Rubio, so even Trump’s gimmicks have reached the point of recycling. Notice that every single person that Trump called a liar and a leaker has also been involved with the Russia investigation in some way, so the president thinks that everyone who is or has investigated him is a liar. That is paranoia hard at work.

Trump stuck his toe in the Adam Schiff waters and was bitten by a shark. This should be a lesson to the president that the man who could very well be leading the House Russia investigation in less than a year isn’t someone to trifle with. Schiff is Trump’s worst nightmare.

When one only has insults and slogans, there is only one course of behavior.

Trump will continue the act that he has used for 70+ years. He has no other way to behave, and nothing but slogans and bluff.

But calling him Captain Combover, or Bigly Butt or something is so gratifying. I wish whoever did it before would projector bomb that on his hotel, or that video of him going up steps and his hair flying up.

Ridiculers do not like to be ridiculed back.
