Donald Trump Mocks #MeToo, Boasts About His Mouth And Monday’s SCOTUS Pick TV Reveal At Montana Rally
UPDATED with reaction: Dem Sen. Elizabeth Warren blasted back at Donald Trump’s mockery of her and #MeToo movement during his raucous rally address in Montana.
“Hey@realDonald Trump: 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.”

Meanwhile, Ari Fleischer, former press secretary for President George W. Bush savaged Trump’s Montana mockery of GHWB’s volunteerism slogan. Speaking to his base in Montana, Trump trumpeted his MAGA campaign slogan, adding, “‘Thousand Points of Light’….what the hell is that?”
“This is so uncalled for. Going after a 94-year-old, former President’s promotion of volunteerism,” Fleischer tweet-scoffed:

Trump, who prides himself on holding grudges, went to Montana to bury Dem Sen. Jon Tester, whom he had promised had “a big price to pay” for having tanked Trump’s nomination of White House doc Ronny Jackson to run the VA. But it was Trump’s non-Tester shtick that had everyone talking last night and well into this morning.
Trump came to Great Falls to stump for Tester’s GOP rival, State Auditor Matt Rosendale, whom he called a “really good man that loves the people of Montana.”
Tester, Trump said, says one thing when he’s in Montana but does the exact opposite when he gets in Washington. A vote for Tester is a vote for Schumer, Pelosi and other Democrats who he said “want anarchy” and now are being led by Maxine Waters.” Trump continued to describe the California congresswoman as “low IQ,” this time adding “she’s somewhere in the mid-60s.”
“You deserve a senator who doesn’t just talk like he’s from Montana; you deserve a senator who actually votes like he’s from Montana.” (He’s a Baltimore native, by the way.)
Tester, he said, “does not share your values” and showed his “true colors with his shameful, dishonest attacks on a great man, a friend of mine.”
Former Physician to the President Jackson “actually said I was healthy. When fake news said, ‘Why isn’t he getting a physical?’ Jackson gave me a physical, and when they said I’m very healthy the news was devastating. They did not want to hear that.”
But Trump’s off-teleprompter riffing stepped all over that message. Among the highlights:
– “Let’s say I’m debating Pocahontas [Sen. Elizabeth Warren]. I promise you I’ll do this: You know those kits they sell on television for $2? Learn your heritage? We will take that kit – but we have to do it gently because we’re in the #MeToo generation – we will take that kit and toss it, hoping it does not hit her and injure her arm.”
– “I’ve broken more Elton John [attendance] records, and I don’t have a musical instrument. I don’t have a guitar, or an organ. … This is my only musical instrument – the mouth – and hopefully the brain is attached to the mouth. The brain is so much more important.”
– “As you know, there is now a vacancy on the Supreme Court. If you tune in Monday at 9 o’clock, I think you’re going to be extremely happy with the selection.”
– “You saw that clown yesterday on the Statue of Liberty? You see the guys that went up there? I wouldn’t have done it. I would have said ‘Let’s get some nets. We’ll wait till she [falls].”
– Europe “kills us with NATO … and then [Germany] goes and makes an oil and gas deal with Russia. So they want us to protect them against Russia yet they pay billions for Russian oil and gas and we’re the schmucks that are paying for the whole thing.”
-“The media … is so damned dishonest … 75% are downright dishonest. They are fake. They quote ‘sources’; they don’t have sources, they don’t use names. They make them up, in many cases. I saw one of them said ’15 anonymous sources.’ I don’t have 15 people in the White House!”
