Trump is playing us with Gillibrand tweet

Dems have a beef with Gillibrand and Schumer for forcing Franken out. So what does Trump do today...attacks Gillibrand. So we are supposed to flip now and defend her....Aren't DEMs smart enough to see he is playing us...more chaos and division...

Trump isn't capable of that kind of chess, as light-weight as it is -- certainly no Obama 5 dimensional player. He got smacked down by Gillibrand, so he simply could not stop his school yard bully self from responded. There is nothing calculated about it, just typical Trump.

Campaign contributions. We are a country of laws. Gillibrand should sue for defamation. Conspiracy theories will achieve nothing.

this. I give her props for her response.

I am not (nor are most of us) RW simpletons who cannot hold complex beliefs and thought processes. I can support her on this all the while I want to send a message to her that she made a big mistake in how she dealt with Franken.

I'm not thrilled with her for leading the charge to throw Franken under the bus. But, I would be mad as hell with her if wasn't taking on the pervert who currently occupies the White house. Good for her for going good and hard at him. I hope others will join her, including republicans.

Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office “begging” for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!
