US President Donald Trump doesn’t generally watch what he says. There’s not much of a difference between what he thinks and what he says – there’s no filter. He called Africa a “s**thole.” He bragged about grabbing women “by the p*ssy.” And, apparently, right after he fired FBI Director James Comey, he called Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe (the guy who was acting director back then and recently quit the FBI after a feud with Trump) on the phone and asked him how his wife feels to be a loser.
McCabe’s wife had run for the Senate seat in Virginia for the Democratic Party in the 2015 election and lost, and Trump wanted to rub it in his face for no reason other than to bully him.
The President had just fired his boss. He had to temporarily take up the vacant post while the bureau was left in chaos and pundits were saying that POTUS had committed the impeachable act of obstruction of justice. What in God’s name possessed him to ring up McCabe for no purpose other than to bully his wife?
Whose wife is the bigger loser, though?
Just to play Devil’s advocate for a moment, isn’t the loser the wife who knows her husband is a vile racist who has sexually assaulted other women and had affairs with porn stars during their marriage and stays with him anyway? Isn’t the wife who’s a loser the one who has to sleep in a separate bedroom in the most extravagant house in the world while her husband eats cheeseburgers and watches TV in his own bed?
