Trump is pot calling kettle black

In an article last month, President Donald Trump’s trade adviser Peter Navarro was quoted as saying “There’s a special place in hell for any foreign leader that engages in bad-faith diplomacy with President Donald J. Trump ….”

What a poor choice of words for a public servant.

I hate to be “ugly,” as my mother used to say, but apparently such tripe cannot be ignored and must be answered tit-for-tat these days. It reminds me of another saying that “they will have to build an annex in hell” — in this case for all the Trump sycophants who have fallen or will fall by the wayside by way of indictments, jail time and eventual ignominy.
