‘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,
– Everyone https://t.co/cIdenZkoS9

Internet buries Meghan McCain for ‘rude and condescending’ Twitter attack on critics of her ‘The View’ antics
On Saturday morning "The View" co-host Meghan McCain snapped back at some of her online critics who complained about her observations and demeanor on the popular ABC show -- which was not received very well as one might expect.
According to conservative commentator -- who also is the daughter of the late Sen. John McCain -- wrote: "It’s called “The View”... I am paid to give another view. If you’re deeply triggered by a diversity of opinions and want to watch a show where everyone just sits around agreeing with one another on everything, feel free to find a show called “The Same”...."
On the eve of the Nevada caucuses, former Vice President Joe Biden, who has referred to himself as "middle-class Joe," had a last-minute chance to connect with middle-class Nevada voters before Saturday's caucuses. At a barbecue with burgers, hot dogs, and ice cream sandwiches, attendees that included firefighters and iron workers gathered for what was advertised as a precinct captain training — or to simply hear Biden's pitch. Indeed, many attendees of the barbecue were still undecided a mere day before caucusing.

Trump’s NSC is ignoring intelligence reports and basing policy on handouts of Trump’s tweets: report
According to a report from the New York Times, members of the National Security Council under Donald Trump no longer uses their extensive knowledge of international relations, politics, and history to formulate foreign policy security proposals for the president's review -- and are instead using the president's tweets to make policy based upon his desires and social media proclamations.
The report begins with noting that council members are often handed printouts of the president's tweets when they convene and are expected to use his words as their guide to formulate proposals that will likely find favor with the president.
