Allen West used to say that he doesn’t “drink his own bathwater”, meaning that he doesn’t pay attention to what people say about him. Clearly Trump is of the opposite mold, which is more than evident from this morning’s tweets:
“Thank you to Wayne Allyn Root for the very nice words. “President Trump is the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world, not just America, he is the best President for Israel in the history of the world…and the Jewish people in Israel love him….

….like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God…But American Jews don’t know him or like him. They don’t even know what they’re doing or saying anymore. It makes no sense! But that’s OK, if he keeps doing what he’s doing, he’s good for…..

The King of Israel? The second coming of God? These accolades by Root are NUTS and Trump should have just ignored them.
I don’t care how true some may this sentiment is, it’s ridiculous for Trump to tweet it and makes him look like he’s got an ego the size of the planet. Even Netanyahu must be shaking his head at this. Seriously.
I like Trump but he really needs to stop drinking his own bathwater, at least publicly, because it’s making many of us nauseous.
