Trump Takes on 2020 Rival

President Trump has taken aim at a potential 2020 challenger, the former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz. Fox News reports:

President Trump on Monday fired back at Howard Schultz, saying the former Starbucks CEO doesn’t have the “guts” to run for president after he announced he was mulling a 2020 White House bid as an independent — and took a few shots at Trump himself.

Howard Schultz doesn’t have the ‘guts’ to run for President! Watched him on @60Minutes last night and I agree with him that he is not the ‘smartest person.’ Besides, America already has that! I only hope that Starbucks is still paying me their rent in Trump Tower!” Trump tweeted Monday morning.

The president’s tweet comes after Schultz’s interview on CBS News’ “60 Minutes,” where he revealed he was “seriously thinking” about running for president in 2020 as a “centrist independent,” and challenged Trump’s fitness for office.

“We’re living at a most fragile time, not only the fact that this president is not qualified to be the president, but the fact that both parties are consistently not doing what’s necessary on behalf of the American people,” Schultz said, specifically citing the national debt as “a reckless example, not only of Republicans but of Democrats, as well, as a reckless failure of their constitutional responsibility.”

Schultz has been under scrutiny for his liberal actions while CEO, and Democrats are already criticizing his potential run as a vote splitting risk.

This guy was a Hard Core DEM-RAT! Nothing changes for him to Run as an Independent!

Once a DEM-RAT, always a DEM-RAT

Centrist independent?????? There are basically just TWO sides on each issue today.
1.Globalist patriot
2. Atheist/perverts who serve themselves as their own god OR Christians
3. Socialists or Republic supporters who want America BACK
4. Spenders who want to bankrupt America OR Patriots
5.
On ANY issue, you just have two sides. Patriots and LEFTISTS who want to fundamentally change America.
God help us. Is this the guy who told Christians to GO AWAY from Starbucks???? Not a chance. Christians will vote AGAINST him, like they voted AGAINST Hillary.

I’m voting for whoever promises NOT to cut retiree and veteran benefits – I am cut 50% if my husband dies first and he is older and has an Agent Orange disability and I cannot see doctor(s) or buy RX’s (which we already pay for) if I have to pay for TriCare-for-Life! So much for ‘we will take care of you and your family! I am now telling grandson and nephew to do their two years and then make career elsewhere but NOT in the service! Lies after lies after lies have made the years NOT worthwhile!
