‘Bette Midler can drop the mic’: Internet blasts Trump for losing a Twitter feud at 1:30 am
President Donald Trump launched a Twitter feud against actress Bette Midler — at 1:30 a.m. — while on his overseas trip to the United Kingdom.
CNN’s Jake Tapper had harsh words. As did Republican attorney George Conway.
But they weren’t the only ones criticizing the president’s outburst.
Here is what other people were saying on Twitter:
good use of ironic air quotes, at least https://t.co/rzrpVtw6uw

‘Washed up psycho’?
1) The fact that you’re using your platform to bully a citizen is beyond appalling!
2) @BetteMidler won 3 Grammys, 3 Emmys, & a Tony.
You were awarded Bone Spur of the year! 🤔 5 yrs running?
3) You’re a despicable human!

Trump has sent out many outrageous tweets to attract attention and get revenge. But this one really stands out as particularly abusive and goes beyond just regular bullying. This is the President using his overwhelmingly powerful platform to destroy a private citizen. It’s scary.

I think @BetteMidler can drop the mic and walk off into the sunset after this.

Apologizing for something fake? Where is your Nancy Pelosi doctored video apology? Bette Midler has more class in her pinky finger than you've had in your entire life.

First of all, Bette Miller did something you are incapable of doing. She made a mistake and APOLOGIZED. You carried on that birther crap for years and never apologized. Washed up psycho? It isn’t Bette, you must have been looking in a mirror, you misogynist coward

Now it’s almost 2 in the morning where you are and you’re rage tweeting about Bette Midler. On the eve of the D Day anniversary. She’s an award winning talent while you are a demented, syphilitic slug, a boil on the ass of humanity. Oh, and a criminal to boot. Sad! #Trumpresign

Would you be on, @BetteMidler? I propose that @BetteMidler and @realDonaldTrump take a full battery of objective neuro-psych testing, simultaneously in public and waive confidentiality so results are disclosed publicly.
Let's see if there is a "psycho" among us… https://t.co/qD2srM4pIG— David Reiss, M.D. (@DMRDynamics) June 5, 2019
Now, just hours before the President is called upon to mark the 75th anniversary of one of the most heroic events in world history — D-Day — where so many gave their lives in the name of freedom, our President soulfully reflects on the significance of the day ahead. https://t.co/e1T4Eu3Jb0

I saw Bette Midler trending. I was concerned for her health. Phew. Thankfully she's OK. The President, however, continues to be unhinged.

Dear @Twitter,
What's the point of even having a 'Terms of Service' if your most publicized user can still constantly cyber-bully private citizens without consequence?
Respectfully,

Trump thinks he can create his own healthcare law that will take the issue off the table for Democrats
One of the significant issues Republicans lost on in 2018 was their nearly decade-long crusade to unmake the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.
This week Trump will announce that he's running for president again, and he promises a surprise announcement while there. While it's unclear what he intends for the surprise, one thing he is talking about is a better healthcare law than the Democratic one.
According to The New York Times, Trump is "vowing to issue the plan within a month or two, reviving a campaign promise with broad consequences for next year’s contest."
The full interview with President Donald Trump finally aired on ABC Sunday, revealing the shocking way that he views his life.
Trump lamented that he's had such a hard life, as the son of multi-millionaires who paid to get him out of trouble multiple times.
"You're a fighter. You, you, it feels like you're in a constant kind of churn--" host George Stephanopoulos began.
"Yeah, uh, my life has always been a fight," Trump said. "And I enjoy that I guess, I don't know if I enjoy it or not, I guess -- sometimes I have false fights like the Russian witch hunt. That's a false fight. That's a made-up, uh, hoax. And I had to fight that."

The right-wing scored more in years of Trump than eight years of George W. Bush: report
President George W. Bush oversaw eight years that restricted rights, banned LGBTQ equality, appointed anti-choice judges and so much more. But under Donald Trump's presidency, social conservatives have managed to roll back any progress made by President Barack Obama's leadership.
A new Axios report listed out any anti-LGBTQ, anti-women and anti-poor policies.
“He campaigned saying that he would be a good friend to LGBT people,” James Esseks, director of the ACLU’s LGBT and HIV Project, told VOX. "Actions speak far louder than words. And what he's done has been a wreck."
