In the last couple of days, Trump’s been tweet-storming complaints about Senators McCain and Blumenthal, as well as Nordstrom.<\/p>\n

So, what’s Trump outraged about (besides the media and the courts?)<\/p>\n

1) Sen. McCain criticized Trump’s disastrous Yemen raid.<\/p>\n

2) Sen. Blumenthal accurately quoted Judge Gorsuch’s relatively mild criticism of Trump’s anti-judge tweets.<\/p>\n

3) Nordstrom dropped Ivanka’s clothing and shoe lines because they aren’t selling well.<\/p>\n

How dare they!<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, where’s Trump’s outrage at Kellyanne Conway over her blatant violation of federal ethics regulations? Where’s the angry Trump tweet condemning Conway for illegally hawking Ivanka’s products from the White House on a Fox News interview?<\/p>\n

Conway’s breach was so egregious, that it was even strongly condemned by Republican Chairman of the House Oversight Committee Jason Chaffetz<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was wrong, wrong, wrong,\u201d Chaffetz told NBC News\u2019 Alex Moe. \u201cIt is wholly unacceptable \u2014 no if, ands or buts about it.\u201d Chaffetz said that he was drafting a bipartisan letter with his Democratic counterpart Elijah Cummings demanding an explanation from the White House.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yet all we’ve gotten so far is a namby-pamby statement by Sean Spicer, that Trump Counselor Conway “has been counseled.”<\/p>\n

John McCain’s raid-remarks made Trump mad.
\nSo did Blumenthal’s Gorsuch quotes. Sad!
\nYet Donald seems fine
\nWhen his aides cross the line,
\nAs with Conway’s Ivanka-brand ad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
