There’s a new Senate Democrat whom President Donald Trump is trying to take down: Sen. Jon Tester of Montana.
Tester is running for reelection in a state Trump won by 20 points in 2016. He’s also in Trump’s crosshairs for his role in the resignation of Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, Trump’s former White House doctor and his pick to lead the US Department of Veterans Affairs.
As the ranking Democrat on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, Tester went public about allegations that Jackson was drunk on the job and improperly dispensed medications including Ambien and Percocet to White House staff. Jackson, while denying the allegations, eventually withdrew his name from consideration late last week.
Since Jackson dropped out, the president has gone nuclear on the Montana senator. First, Trump called on Tester to resign in a pair of tweets and called the allegations against Jackson “phony” and “slander.” Then he tried to wreak havoc on Tester’s 2018 Senate campaign.
“I know things about Tester I could say, too,” Trump told a cheering Michigan crowd over the weekend. “And if I said them, he’d never be elected again.”
No, Trump, you can't fire Senators.
Can we please not use the word "nuclear" around the word "Trump"? My ass puckered so tight, had I had a lump of coal shoved up there I'd be shitting diamonds.
Maybe you should consider doing that, make some money.

Then say it, you dumb fuck; put up or shut up.\
I'm sick of this Ex-Reality TV Star and his schoolyard bully bullshit.
US goes nuclear in its aim to curb greenhouse gas emissions: 15-year plan sees coal fired plants across the nation shuttered in favor of ultra-modern nuclear reactors.
