Last week, the Republican majority in the Senate secured an acquittal for President Donald Trump, but, this weekend, he’s still finding plenty to complain about anyway. His Twitter rants as Sunday morning dragged on even included a new nickname for West Virginia’s Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, who’s perceived as a moderate but voted for his conviction anyway. Trump called Manchin “Joe Munchkin” — and yet again, Trump thereby dragged the presidency through the mud of ridiculous pettiness and the rest of the U.S. along with it.
Trump resorted to suggesting that the only way Manchin could have developed any kind of opposition to him is if he’s — wait for it — dumb.
He tweeted:
‘They are really mad at Senator Joe Munchkin in West Virginia. He couldn’t understand the Transcripts. Romney could, but didn’t want to!’

Sunday morning, Trump also further complained (again) about Utah’s Republican Senator Mitt Romney, who actually voted to convict Trump of abuse of power.
He tweeted:
‘Romney hurt some very good Republican Senators, and he was wrong about the Impeachment Hoax. No clue!’

Romney was the only Republican to vote in favor of conviction (which would entail removal from office) on either article of impeachment. Trump also retweeted a number of messages claiming that Romney himself is somehow connected to the baselessly supposed corruption that Trump tried to bribe Ukraine into investigating, and he also shared the belligerent complaint that the Utah Senator “stabbed Trump in the back and will join Democrats in their shameful attempt to overturn an election.”
Someone should show that presidential retweet (and the many others) to the Senate Republicans who raised a self-righteous huff when Adam Schiff mentioned an alleged threat for GOP Senators to have their “heads on a pike” if they voted against the president.
Besides the above, Trump also spent Sunday morning basically talking to himself on Twitter, as one journalist put it. He was digging up some old recent posts of his own and commenting on them again.
