As the US President informs the waiting world of who is and is not in his good graces, another politician is subjected to the lash of Donald Trump’s tongue.
Trump launched an angry verbal barrage at former Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon today, putting her in the crosshairs.
Trump emphasized his negative opinions on Sturgeon and called her a bad first minister, adding to his earlier remarks in which he called her a failed woke extremist and a crazy lefty who represents everything wrong with identity politics.
By Trump’s infamously high standards in the dark arts of disparaging his opponents, such an attack is very mild, but it was enough to make the world’s media go crazy with excitement, and Sturgeon herself swiftly responded on Instagram that the feeling was reciprocated, Donnie.
“Forever proud to represent all the things that offend your view of the world,” she continued.
According to The Independent, Trump made the remarks while returning to Washington in Air Force One.
After a five-day vacation in Scotland, Trump was clearly feeling well-fed and relaxed.
Drinking whiskey, eating steak, and playing golf all have that effect on men.
However, Trump responded as follows when asked if his two-hour dinner with Scotland’s current First Minister John Swinney resulted in the removal of the tax on the country’s national beverage, whiskey.
No. We didn’t actually talk about it all that much. But Mr. Swinney is someone I greatly admire.
Then, in typical fashion, Trump went on to say, “I didn’t have a lot of respect for the woman that preceded me. I thought she was terrible as First Minister of Scotland.” This further demonstrated that he is the total antithesis of a statesman and diplomat.
However, I believe that John is performing admirably in his role as the first minister.
Sources close to Trump’s poison target Trump’s disrespect for women is hardly new, according to Ms. Sturgeon.
The feeling, however, was completely reciprocal.
The working relationship between Trump and Sturgeon was never mutually beneficial. Surgeon was quick to criticize him when he was elected president in 2016 and called his actions and words disgusting.
A nasty game of tit for tat ensued. Though Sturgeon is a bit of a has-been, Trump appears to be winning because he is still very much left, right, and center on the global scene as the elected leader of the free world.
Trump made it clear to everyone on his recent trip to the UK to speak with prime ministers and open golf courses that John Swinney is definitely the president’s guy, unlike Nicola Sturgeon.
Trump urged his new Scottish friend to stand during a speech he was giving to open yet another golf club. He told the crowd, “John Swinney is a terrific guy and loves the people this country, and we really appreciate it.”
You are indeed a unique individual. John, thank you very much for everything.
Receiving a nod from a made man is always pleasant.
