We know that he knew nothing about politics, likely rarely even bothered voting

He was just insulted that he was considered an "also ran" behind Jimmy Kimmel regarding the former guy's "investigation!"

It would be funny except that its not. What a pitiful waste of oxygen that delusional cry baby is. And hes the standard bearer for the rethugs. That makes them pretty pitiful too.

If he'd been paying attention, he'd know very well that it's an American tradition to make fun of whoever is president at the time. Johnny Carson did it, SNL did it (Gerald Ford was clumsy), poor Jimmy Carter was the butt of all kinds of jokes. And if anyone deserved ridicule, it was the former guy - it didn't even require imagination or exaggeration...

He fucked up everything he really wanted to do. Thank goodness.
