What with yet another mass shooting in Midland/Odessa yesterday and an apparently first in history category 5 hurricane…

…bearing down on the Bahamas, and probably Florida after that, one would think that POTUS would have better things to do than sulk tweet about an Emmy award winning actress not being sufficiently deferential to him as of late.
Well, this IS drumpf, so one would be thinking wrong:
I have not forgotten that when it was announced that I was going to do The Apprentice, and when it then became a big hit, helping NBC’s failed lineup greatly, @DebraMessing came up to me at an Upfront & profusely thanked me, even calling me “Sir.” How times have changed!

This idiocy had it’s genesis in Messing’s call out to The Hollywood Reporter to publish a list of names of those that would be attending a fundraiser for Trump later this month:
Please print a list of all attendees please. The public has a right to know. https://t.co/YV4UoxrPHI

Cause, you know, inquiring minds want to know:
Hey, @THR, kindly report on everyone attending this event, so the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with. Thx. https://t.co/7W3xPG3bI2

But Mango Mussolini got his nose out of joint, and so he retreated to his safe Twitter space when he should be attending to the nation’s business.
Debra returned his attention:
I am proud to be a donor when I contribute to a campaign. I am happy to be listed when I attend a fundraiser. I am assuming anyone who donates to Trump’s fundraiser would feel the same. Why wouldn’t they?

Now that I know I have your attention @realDonaldTrump, please read this thread— a PARTIAL list of souls lost to preventable,devastating gun violence. America wants universal background checks. The majority of Americans want assault weapons ban. Take Action and I’ll call you Sir. https://t.co/BnaS9zgNps

I’d rather you bring attention to the Catagory 5 Hurricane #Dorian threatening our south eastern coast, and the tragic & preventable shooting that occurred yesterday in #Texas. https://t.co/MVbOuHwKUU

But, Debra, that would entail him actually doing his job….can’t have that.
Keep giving it to the baby-man, Deb…maybe post a photo of you polishing your Emmy.
That will enrage him like the murder of Americans or the destruction of Florida never will.
