Short-fingered vulgarian charts new depths with his Truth Antisocial posts. [View all]

Trump, 80, Hurls Obscene Nickname at Rising Dem Star in Morning Meltdown (The Daily Beast)

The president clearly sees the potential 2028 candidate as a threat, so he’s lashing out with a schoolyard taunt.

Donald Trump spent his morning testing out a childish new nickname for rising Democratic star being hailed as the “next Obama.”

The 80-year-old president, who is currently in France for the G7 summit, lashed out at the potential 2028 candidate Sen. Jon Ossoff of Georgia as “Os(jerk!)off” in a Truth Social post at 8:50 a.m. local time.

Trump unveiled the nickname after his endorsed candidate, Rep. Mike Collins, defeated Derek Dooley in Tuesday’s Republican Senate runoff, setting up a showdown with Ossoff in November’s midterm election.
