At Montana Rally, Trump Might Trigger Another Media Meltdown Over His Remarks About This GOP Congressman

[Billie.jeens]

Yeah, President Trump gives zero you-know-whats, but that’s part of his appeal. He’s disrupting the current D.C. culture—and the political class at both ends of the spectrum hates it. Old 2016 campaign Trump reared its head in all its glory when he gave props to Rep. Greg Gianforte (R-MT), who became known across the country for body slamming The Guardian’sBen Jacobs during last year’s special election to fill the vacancy left by Ryan Zinke, who resigned his congressional seat to become Secretary of the Interior. Gianforte won. This incident occurred hours before ballots were counted. At a rally in Montana last night, Trump said that anyone who could deliver a body slam was okay in his book. Gianforte later apologized for the incident (via ABC News):

Donald Trump kicked off a western tour in Montana on Thursday ostensibly to support Matt Rosendale as he attempts to unseat Sen. Jon Tester, but it was his praise for House Greg Gianforte's physical assault on a reporter that stole the show.

Gianforte is running for re-election as the state’s lone seat in the House of Representatives, and made national headlines during a special election for assaulting a reporter in a moment caught on audio tape.

"Any guy that can do a body slam, he is my type!" Trump said to cheers.

"I was in Rome with leaders when I heard about it, and I heard that he body-slammed a reporter," Trump said.

Trump said he was afraid Gianforte would lose after the moment, but then recalled, "Wait a moment, I know Montana."

Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) is vulnerable, and Trump seems to have made it his mission to clip him after he executed a character assassination campaign against Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, his failed Veterans Affairs nominee. Jackson withdrew after Tester alleged that Jackson was pretty much a pill pusher, who also had alcohol problems. The Secret Service disputed this claim and another in which Jackson supposedly drove a government car while intoxicated. Even CNN—CNN—said the pill pushing allegations were straight trash and overblown.

Claims to be the law and order candidate, calls the Democrats “the party of crime”, then celebrates and laughs about a criminal congressman assaulting someone. Not even trying to be consistent anymore.

This should either stop Republican politicians from whining about a lack of civility or bring on condemnation from them, but both would require a spine and some self-reflection, so we all know that’s not happening.

Unclear how someone like Tester would have been elected in the great state of Montana to begin with. bj

At the beginning of this thread, supposedly they say that Trump could give zero “you-know-what’s” and that’s part of his appeal.
That’s appealing?
WTF?!?!

That’s childish and irresponsible to say he could give “ give zero anythings” about any issues!
Not caring seems to be Trump’s essential being. Not caring about anything other than himself and money and “The deal”.
That’s so not appealing.
There’s really nothing about him that’s appealing.

I heard from my family in Chapel Hill that the KKK is having another parade in Greensboro soon.
I’m sure you know, and you’re all set to go.
Have fun, y’all.

Ronny Jackson is the official “presidential Physician” right?
The guy who reported after he examined Trump that he was in excellent health and wasn’t obese?
Bwahahaha!
Pull pusher, drinker !
He’s probably being well paid for that fictitious exam.
