Trump jeered for overseas attack on Joe Biden: ‘This alone should be an impeachment charge’
President Donald Trump was blasted online after attacking former Vice President Joe Biden while overseas.
Trump, who could not even spell the VP’s five-letter last name correctly, leveled the attack prior to playing golf.
In the tweet, Trump also admitted he has more “confidence” in dictator Kim Jong-un than his own national security advisors.
North Korea fired off some small weapons, which disturbed some of my people, and others, but not me. I have confidence that Chairman Kim will keep his promise to me, & also smiled when he called Swampman Joe Bidan a low IQ individual, & worse. Perhaps that’s sending me a signal?

The internet was shocked, both by the content of the tweet and by Trump violating the unwritten rule that domestic politics stay at the nation’s shores when the president travels overseas.
Here is some of what people are saying:
Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
This alone should be an impeachment charge. https://t.co/yUHp2JPXTU

If I were advising Iranian Supreme Ali Khamenei, I would encourage him to write a letter along these lines "Dear Donald Trump, big-handed president! Congrats on the Mueller hoax investigation proving no collusion & no obstruction. May you defeat sleepy Joe Biden! etc" https://t.co/ZDqJt1pSps

Yeah, it's sending you a signal that stupid flattery can get someone anywhere with you. But it's good you're no longer threatening war with North Korea, maybe if Venezuela and Iran's governments gave you some stupid compliment, you'd also some threatening them? https://t.co/6vl0hP129n

All the typos and misspellings…are they on purpose? Why would they be on purpose? Is it a staffer messing with Donald? No matter what the reason, Putin wins and we all lose. Donald is an illegitimate president installed by Russia. https://t.co/WOz8KdPHVI

Quite a statement as he prepares to golf with Shinzo Abe — Japan views these tests as violations of UN resolution, and John Bolton affirmed that view YESTERDAY. Not an optimistic start to the State Visit, to say the least. https://t.co/xfGWDoUlp6

President Donald Trump trails all of his Democratic rivals in hypothetical matchups of the 2020 presidential race, according to the result of a new poll released Tuesday.
This article originally appeared on Salon.
The survey, conducted by Emerson Polling, found that the president lags behind former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., by 10 points nationally — 45 percent to 55 percent. He also trails Sen. Elizabeth Warren by six points — 47 percent to 53 percent —and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg by four points — 48 percent to 52 percent.
Amid an overcrowded Democratic presidential candidate field, it's hard to distinguish yourself from the pack if you don't slot easily into the scale that runs from "pro-corporate centrist" to "left-populist." If you're former Texas congressman Beto O'Rourke — who falls somewhere in the middle, politically, and somewhere towards the top, looks-wise — you pull a militaristic policy proposal out of your hat that recalls some of the most campy pseudo-fascist sci-fi ever written.
