Every campaign rally seems worse than the last one. His lies are legion, and the crowds of loyal supporters don’t seem to care. It’s usually the same tired list of people he’s mocked many times in the past. The insults always get applause and that, after all, is what it’s al about to the ringmaster. Country be damned as long as Donald Trump gets a cheer. Last night’s in Great Falls, Montana Trump managed to mock the #METOO movement, Elizabeth Warren and of course criticize the media. But he did have nice things to say about Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un.
As for Elizabeth Warren, despite controversy Trump just can’t seem to stop calling her Pocahontas. Last night he joked she should get a DNA test to prove her heritage.
Perfect timing as genetic tests are being used to match children with parents separated by the Trump administration at the border.
Hey, @realDonaldTrump: While you obsess over my genes, your Admin is conducting DNA tests on little kids because you ripped them from their mamas & you are too incompetent to reunite them in time to meet a court order. Maybe you should focus on fixing the lives you're destroying.

Trump, while calling Elizabeth Warren 'Pocahontas' again, says: "We're in the 'Me Too' generation, so we have to be very gentle." (via Fox) pic.twitter.com/pM2G0qOcHf

It’s believed that this is the first time Trump has publicly used the #MeToo phrase. Of course, it was only to belittle the movement.
President Trump just made fun of the #MeToo movement at a rally in Montana on the same day that he hired Bill Shine who is accused of helping cover up sexual harassment scandals at Fox News network.

After Donald Trump mocks the #metoo movement and makes up a Low IQ score for Maxine Waters to make a crowd cheer…
I would once again like to thank Melania Trump on her amazing job with her anti-bullying and “Be Best” initiatives.
You go FLOTUS!

I have criticisms of our generation. I have criticisms of #metoo. Even so, Trump saying “we’re the me too generation so we have to be very gentle” is so completely wrong and idiotic.

Trump also lost some of his hardcore Republican supporters when he went after two of the most prominent members of the GOP, who are both in bad health. The New York Times reports:
“Without mentioning either man by name, Mr. Trump also disparaged Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and President George Bush, who are both in poor health: Mr. McCain for his vote against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act and Mr. Bush for his campaign slogan ‘a thousand points of light,’ one that Mr. Trump said he ‘never quite got.’”
This is so uncalled for. Going after a 94-year-old, former President’s promotion of volunteerism. I don’t mind potus being a fighter. I do mind him being rude. https://t.co/Hr0d20Wuzz

Truly offensive to see @realDonaldTrump mock @GeorgeHWBush given 41’s 1) life of public service; 2) commitment to volunteerism; 3) critical role in ending Cold War peacefully and on our terms and then leading world in liberating Kuwait, the 1st test of post-cold war era
