I bet you’d be on my side if I had killed a journalist. #BeBest

Can’t beat that.

The only way to defeat a bully is to stand up to him and call his bluff. More like this, please. It would be great if some of our elected officials followed suit.

This is master level work, let’s take it apart.

  • It directly addresses Trump’s tweet, without descending to its level.
  • As noted, it packs a significant amount of substance into a very short text.
  • It contains only substance, not referencing appearance or communication style (and I say this as a fan of the “smoky ash” burn).
  • It sharply points out hypocrisy.
  • The main thing I don’t want people to miss: it goes directly to the central mission of the WHCA dinner, which is press freedom.

Well done.

I wonder if Chernow will talk about, say, the long history of executive corruption and the dangers to the republic posed by plutocrats.

Well, if you had, at least, body-slammed a journalist.

I agree with you, except that, in the interest of brevity, she’s left out the key condition: He’d be on her side if she had killed a journalist and was able to spend and bribe her way out of the consequences.

Thank you for your analysis.

Wolf’s comeback was brilliant at a level seldom seen.

Don’t go after someone who buys ink by the barrel or tells barbed jokes for a living. You’re going to lose.

…"Maybe I will go? "

You are an unfunny coward, tRump! T’aint likely you’ll show your face.

#BeBest – How I have come to loath that nonentity, Melanie. Please go away for the sake of your child, for chrisssake.

Lil’ Donnie is afraid of the big bad Wolf.

Shame she isn’t doing the dinner again. She knows how to kick the bastard.
