Trump campaign starts selling 'Pencil-neck Adam Schiff' t-shirts
President Trump's 2020 presidential campaign is now selling "Pencil-Neck Adam Schiff" T-shirts, after Trump coined the new nickname at a rally in Michigan on Thursday.

The shirt, which is on sale for $28, shows Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) with a pencil for a neck as well as a clown nose.

"Little Pencil-Neck Adam Schiff. He spent two years knowingly and unlawfully lying and leaking. He should be forced to resign from Congress! Everyone should buy a Pencil-Neck Adam Schiff shirt today!" the item's online description reads.

The merchandise appears to have been posted the day after Trump's comments targeting the House Intelligence chairman at a campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

"Little pencil neck Adam Schiff," Trump said. "He’s got the smallest, thinnest neck I’ve ever seen. He is not a long ball hitter."

Trump and other Republicans have been highly critical of Schiff in recent days after a summary of special counsel Robert Mueller's report found no coordination between Trump and Russia ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Earlier this week, Schiff said he still believes evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia "undoubtedly" exists and can be found by his committee.

#1  Lots of comments about how Melania would disapprove of Trump's treatment of Schiff. No comments about how Melania would disapprove of Schiff's treatment of Trump.

#2  Rush Limbaugh came up with "Pencil Neck". He deserves the credit for a nailing it.

#3  Schiff wouldn't also happen to be a former ophthalmologist would he?

Came here to say the same thing. Does Trump owe Limbaugh some royalties now?

Trump says he has ‘taken better care of Puerto Rico than any man ever'
[Washington Examiner] Criticized that he is privately complaining about giving too much aid to Puerto Rico, President Trump Thursday afternoon claimed that he has done more for the U.S. island territory than any of his predecessors.

"I’ve taken better care of Puerto Rico than any man ever," the president told reporters gathered on the South Lawn of the White House.

Trump highlighted what he said was $91 billion in disaster relief that his administration is sending to Puerto Rico, which was devastated by Hurricane Maria in September 2017. The island territory is still recovering from the damage caused by the storm.

Other estimates put the amount of relief to Puerto Rico at closer to $40 million. Trump appeared to be confusing the amount for Puerto Rico with total disaster assistance appropriated by Congress, most of which was spent on destruction caused by hurricanes in Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida.

"Puerto Rico has been taken care of better by Donald Trump than by any living human being," the president said, in a characteristic third-person reference to himself. "And I think the people of Puerto Rico understand it."

#1  Maybe he should stop.

#2  Meanwhile Puerto Rican boat people continue to wash up in Ft. Lauderdale. Sad legacy from the Obama admin.

#3  Let ‘em think about who has done a better job, and what doing better entails. And then they can talk to the president about doing those things, instead of wasting their time sneering at him. Though wasting their time on this does keep them from concentrating on other things. Like his stupid tweets, they’re paying attention to the waving hand, not the working hand.

The Epoch Times has a cute table of key resignations and demotions at the FBI and DOJ since President Trumo took office, most of which got very little attention at the time, and none since.

They have American passports I believe. Maybe your thinking of Cubans?

#5  Time for Puerto Rico to go their own way. They don't want to be part of America, they want to leach off the system. If you want to be a state, say so and we'll look into that. If you want to be independent, make it so. Just make a freaking decision.

#1  And yet, the Dallas Morning News has an article about this in this mornings paper, noting the Dems are complaining it must be sooner. Sooner! Now!

I didn't read anything more than the headline. Didn't need to.

#2  Delay it a little while longer just to make 'em crazy.

#3  Two weeks is perfect. Let them rage and look like fools and then release the thing and make them look the fool while its all still fresh in everyones minds.
