Trump’s New Lows (help appreciated)
July 28, 2019
Kevin Drum has created his quick list of Trump's new lows. I thought I'd try to add value by gradually replacing Kevin's text with links and otherwise improving it. I would love any help people can provide in putting in links and extending this forward. Please put links in the comments or email them to me (schmidtb98 at yahoo.com). Videos preferred.
My plan: twelve lows a year starting in 2015. This list will be kept live and updated over time as Trump inevitably adds new lows. I am open to revising Kevin's list from years 2015-2018, but once we hit 12 a year then I'm not adding anything without subtracting something.
2015
July 20: Attacks John McCain for being a POW.
November 13: Compares Ben Carson to child molester.

November 26: Mocks a reporter’s disability.

March 20: Attacks John McCain yet again.
May 24: Retweets doctored video of Nancy Pelosi.
