Trump now raging against Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, bizarrely says his name 'sounds Chinese'

Apologies for the source but I could not resist. His ongoing meltdown has been quite enjoyable. Also it appears Murdoch is done with TFG.

WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump ranted Friday against Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, saying his last name “Sounds Chinese” and claiming the governor “couldn’t have won without me” last year.

“Young Kin (now that’s an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, doesn’t it?) in Virginia couldn’t have won without me,” the 45th president said series of posts on Truth Social. “I Endorsed him, did a very big Trump Rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to Vote for him – or he couldn’t have come close to winning.

(snip)

Friday’s bizarre statement followed a Thursday broadside from Trump aimed at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ahead of the real estate mogul’s expected announcement on Nov. 15 that he will run for the White House in 2024.

“Now that the Election in Florida is over, and everything went quite well, shouldn’t it be said that in 2020, I got 1.1 Million more votes in Florida than Ron D got this year, 5.7 Million to 4.6 Million? Just asking?”

Youngkin and DeSanctimonius are the ones he feels challenged by at this time.

sounds vaguely (and stereotypically) Korean more than Chinese, but I guess Trump doesn’t want to piss of the guy who sent the beautiful love letters.
