The Art of the Takedown: One GOP Strategist Just Kicked His War on Trump Up a Notch!
If you follow politics on Twitter, you likely follow Rick Wilson, a sharp-tongued and much-respected GOP strategist who, to put it delicately, is not exactly a fan of one Donald J. Trump — and knows how to wield 280 characters and the occasional meme with snark, invective, and caustic humor.
Good Lord. The grunting, idiot triumphalism this morning from the MAGAs is utterly disconnected from any tangible, deliverable result.

So, just to be clear you’re telling foreign nations not to buy in the next T-Bill auction?

He also harbors no guff from the swine.
It’s only sad because you’re unable to understand it, being from shallow end of the gene pool, having received only the most indifferent education, and to compound it all suffer the effects of a diet of lead paint chips, plastic bottle vodka, and oxycontin. https://t.co/AcaOIDg0SR

He also just penned a must-read takedown of Trump for The Daily Beast. Here’s just a taste…
Trump fled the humid confines of Washington, D.C., jetting to Quebec to blow up the G7 summit and take a massive political and rhetorical dump on some of our longest-standing and closest allies. But I’m playing nice, so thank you, Mr. President, for adopting 19th-century trade policies that combine both raging economic illiteracy and inevitably adverse outcomes for America. Well done.
Thank you, because nothing says Presidential Stature like your juvenile dick-waving and insults attacking the heads of state of the G7 nations. Thanks are also in order for deploying your clown-car motorcade of loudmouth, shock-jock aides to make the damage worse.
Rick’s just getting warmed up, sports fans. Read it all here.
