President Donald Trump again retweeted a weird video that drew many a raised eyebrow over the weekend, this time depicted him shooting a golf ball into former political rival Hillary Clinton. And when Rep. Chris Collins was asked about it on CNN Monday morning, he began laughing, before explaining that the president does have a sense of humor.
Collins, a Republican from New York, mentioned the presidents tweet calling Kim Jong Un Rocket Man, a playful reference to the North Korean leaders attempts to develop a nuclear weapon that could destroy an American city.
CNNs Alisyn Camerota asked if that is the type of message Trump should send ahead of this weeks United Nation General Assembly, to which Collins claimed the president is simply eschewing protocol. Hes just a fun guy, Collins said. So I think the stuffy diplomats at the U.N. are going to be taken aback a bit.
Camerota then directly asked Collins if he thought the golf ball video was funny, and the lawmaker said he personally doesnt retweet things, though he declined to criticize Trump for doing so.

(9,426 posts)What if the "fun guy" (dirty old man) said things about his wife, grabbed her -whatever- would he think THAT was funny? How about if he put a photo of Collins wife next to a photo of "nude model" Botoxed to the hilt Maleria, asking to compare?If this country wanted a "fun guy" in the WH, they would elect a comedian, not a racist, stupid, war mongering know nothing IDIOT. tRump has no CLASS, no brains, nothing that qualifies him for the job. He has made this country the laughingstock of the entire world.

This idiot and his supporters are "going" to get people killed, because he is a narcissistic ass****, that thinks that when he "tweets" a golf picture hitting HC that it's f*cking funny......................., while the main steam media and the reporters except three that I know of Maddow, Hayes and O'Donnell are calling this pathological racist bastard a LIAR.
