A tweet today by Donald Trump begs the question–Will dignity ever be restored to the presidency? With language like this we can pretty much guarantee it won’t happen any time soon. The President of the United States just publicly called a woman ‘horseface.’ Stormy Daniels, the pornstar an alleged presidential paramour had her defamation case against Trump thrown out by a judge yesterday. The court also ordered Daniels to pay Trump’s attorney fees. Less than 24 hours later, this appears on Twitter (FYI, Mr. Trump, it’s Daniels):
“Federal Judge throws out Stormy Danials lawsuit versus Trump. Trump is entitled to full legal fees.” @FoxNews Great, now I can go after Horseface and her 3rd rate lawyer in the Great State of Texas. She will confirm the letter she signed! She knows nothing about me, a total con!

A total con? So what was that $130,000 payment made by Michael Cohen all about? Talk about a bad investment. Not only did she not keep quiet and go away, she wrote a book, and in that book there were unflattering references to Trump’s ‘manhood,’ references she continued today.
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present your president. In addition to his…umm…shortcomings, he has demonstrated his incompetence, hatred of women and lack of self control on Twitter AGAIN! And perhaps a penchant for bestiality. Game on, Tiny. https://t.co/6DpDD5ELtj

Trump has been wanting to hit back at @StormyDaniels for mocking his manhood in her book. Today's tweet is not divorced from that. https://t.co/Xh9HaeW2eL

Just when you think the bar can’t go any lower, he goes there. And it’s not the first time. Donald Trump has a long history of mocking women that has been catalogued here by Buzzfeed.
It’s disgusting, and also a timely reminder that the President’s own lawyer implicated him in multiple felonies because he broke campaign finance laws trying to silence Stormy Daniels.
And yet, every Republican candidate unequivocally supports Donald Trump. https://t.co/ba7UurRFFL

But it was a GOP Congressman from Pennsylvania who put it best.
To say this is unbecoming of any man, let alone the POTUS, is a vast understatement. And to say this enables teenage boys to feel they have a license to refer to girls w such names is obvious. It’s all very embarrassing. https://t.co/dC5xxmFoGo
