Matt Taibbi:  

SIOUX CENTER, IA — You know Donald Trump is feeling good when he moves into Triumph the Insult Comic President mode, early in a speech. In Iowa Friday, ten days before Americans officially start voting for the man, Trump was a violin short of Henny Youngman. He had everything working. 

On Nikki Haley: “Birdbrain… Does not have what it takes... She’s a globalist. She loves the globe.” He contorted his mouth to an O for “globe,” pronouncing it like Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High

I do like me some lefties who have gone off reservation. Those who are woke to the craziness of Woke. Who are awake to the reality of fake.

I’ve had lefties here at home in Hong Kong who don’t get that Trump is funny. Whether you like him or not, he’s a comedian. But some just don’t get it.
