John Heilemann on Trump Tweet: ‘Looks Like I Want to Strap a Suicide Vest On’

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: "Now we are here and the health care bill and in some ways his whole first term agenda is hanging in the balance. So not only is this a distraction, but there’s some weird impulse he has to go to both misogyny, a grotesque form of it, and also to a politically reckless, borderline suicidal kind of thing to do. There are women whose votes matter in the Senate to getting this health care bill through. What does Susan Collins think when she hears this? What does Lisa Murkowski think when she hears this? It’s not just a distraction where he could have spent his day doing something more useful. This is doing something that almost looks like 'I want to strap a suicide vest on and do it in a way that will offend any thinking woman in America.'”
