Donald Trump just called an opposition candidate the worst human being to ever run for office and the entire internet held up a mirror for him

A very important midterm election cycle is kicking into high gear in America and Donald Trump is doing whatever he can to help sway the results in his direction.

The President’s most recent take involves the senate race in Maine. Trump went to great lengths to dismiss Democrat Graham Platner, who clinched Maine’s Democratic Senate nomination this week.

Bask in the hyperbole here:

Trump: “I watch that thug that’s up in Maine. He’s a thug. And they’re trying to make excuses for him. I mean, he’s worse than any human being that’s ever run for office probably.

The irony of all the pearl clutching when the man sitting behind that desk is a convicted felon and has been found guilty by a jury for sexual assault, is nauseating.

The worst politician. Who was proven to be a sexual predator in court. Has 34 felony convictions. Is all throughout the Epstein files. Is openly corrupt and taking bribes. Who has literally been ranked the worst president in history. Is claiming someone else is the worst person…
