USA Today, the most widely-circulated newspaper in the U.S, has penned a scathing takedown of President Donald Trump, calling him “uniquely awful,” unfit to clean the toilets in his predecessor’s presidential library, and a person “who can always find room for a new low.”
The blistering editorial, published Tuesday evening, is especially striking as it comes, as one observer noted, from a “centrist-to-conservative editorial board.”
It comes on the heels of Trump’s “sexist smear” against Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), which the editorial says showed the president “is not fit for office.”
Brushing off White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders’s defense of the tweeted attack, the editorial board writes: “A president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush.”
Beyond the unsurprising attack on Gillibrand, the piece references other “sickening behavior” by Trump, including his mocking of the numerous women who have accused him of sexual assault or harassment.
