Well, this is flattering. I may add "Deranged BUM" to my profile www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump ...

Really sad nobody around Trump cares enough to get that intervention underway.
But, then, he only cares about himself so why should they care about him?

Being a completely self-unaware pile of s^%# who's convinced they're a gift to the world who rails against their betters is peak MAGA.

"What's Moore's problem? I don't know and I don't care. The interesting question is why someone so incompetent " apparently he can't even copy numbers correctly " has consistently failed upward.

Trump even tried to put him on the Federal Reserve Board in 2019, and might have succeeded if Moore hadn't also turned out to be a grotesque misogynist and a deadbeat dad who had been held in contempt for failure to pay child support."

Typical Trump, 'only the best people pick'.

Also:

"What's wrong with this picture? First, look at the chart. The second line claims that it shows "medium income" " a term unknown to economics. Clearly it was supposed to say median income. OK, speling misteaks hapen. But not, usually, in charts prepared for a presentation by the President of the United States."

And:

"I don't mean that Moore is extremely right-wing, although of course he is. I don't even mean that he's a dishonest hack, although again of course he is. I mean that even among dishonest right-wing hacks Moore stands out for his pathological inability to get numbers and facts right."

Trump is a pedophile, in addition to being a traitor, rapist, and racist

... Trump Rages at Nobel-Winning 'Bum' ...

My guess is that Pres Trump may be jealous that he has not yet earned a Nobel.

May be? I'm surprised he hasn't put 1,500% sanctions on Norway for not handing it over.
